Considering them community guys made a fair amount of donkeys, quote: "In two weeks five modders from the Team Fortress 2 community made between $39,000 and $47,000 selling items through the game's new Mann Co. Store. The royalty figures were so high they exceeded PayPal deposit restrictions, so Valve flew the highest earners - Spencer Kern and Steven Skidmore - to its door to hand the cheques over in person."
... one could easily guess why Valve keeps releasing the useless hats, people still like and buy them. One could also debunk the R.W. statement, quote, "We only add stuff that contributes to the game" with this, but that would be... evil and unfair :) One would presume, HOWEVER, they could afford to test the game before they ruin it over the weekend. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_testing -TheG On Sat, May 7, 2011 at 8:48 AM, Kyle Sanderson <[email protected]> wrote: > 2048 is still pretty low (especially with some of these new maps > people are rolling out).
