Last week Valve unleashed a line of free to play games on it's Steam network. This week it is revealed that Valve will no doubt be developing it's own free to play game, which was rumored to be Dota 2.
Well today Valve developer Robin Walker announced that Team Fortress 2 will be adopting the free to play game model.
Team Fortress 2 will now be completely free for download and will include an in game micro transaction system similar to other free to play games.
Robin Walker stated:

Over the years we've done a bunch of price experimentations with the game, going all the way down to $2.49 in our random one-hour Halloween sales. The more we've experimented, the more we've learned there are fundamentally different kinds of customers, each with their own way of valuing the product. Now that we're shipping it, it feels like a fairly straightforward next step along the 'Games as Services' path we've been walking down for a while now."
Now I am a bit confused as to whether this is the free to play title which Valve confirmed would be coming? Or if there is yet another free to play game coming from the Valve team. There has been no clarification on that aspect.
Are you happy to see this game adapting to a free to play model? Have you previously purchased the game?

Do you know it will work, or even be decent on wine? I mean COD4 can work on *nix along with CS:S but sometimes the sounds etc will be messy when you run it through wine. Since I only run a linux box I guess Ill try it.
