10:58am: TF2 is free, cue the rage
This week, Valve has been releasing the Über Update for Team Fortress 2. This culminated in the long-anticipated Meet the Medic video. It's awesome, go watch it.

And that wasn't all. It has been announced that Team Fortress 2 will now be free to play. Not just for a weekend. Forever.

Awesome, right?

anyone else less than pleased that TF2 is now free?
ANTI "THANK YOU VALVE" THREAD (the top post of which features Valve's lovely obscenity-blocking ♥♥♥♥)

I could go on for days linking all the angry threads on Valve's forums, so here are a couple other places people are mad:

Forum thread entitled "Poll: The TF2 Insult" on The Escapist
Comments on the official announcement on YouTube.

There's already a plug-in to block free-to-play users from joining your server.
