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:

"We've been toying with the idea ever since the Mann-conomy update, where we added the in-game Team Fortress 2 store. 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?

Dam honestly this sucks, TF2 is such a great game and popular it seems like it died and they made it free just to get back up...
