Oh, the irony!

Valve wants to about Microsoft wanting to charge for updates, then they go an pull this .

I know it's the PC version, but it's kind of ironic.

I'm sorry...what? I mean seriously, explain the the purpose for this topic.

Valve is not charging for updates, they will continue updates for free.
Yes, you can buy items instead of earning them in-game to use the instant you buy them.
Only thing you can't get in-game is the Mann Co. key, which only opens boxes that give you a chance at rare items, but doesn't disrupt any gameplay elements.

Seriously........what is this I don't even

Well, the irony is that they promised a whole bunch of stuff and kept on saying it was coming. They do not offer the casual customer who they shafted any explanation yet they have plenty of time to make stupid money-hungry hats and then blame MS for being greedy.

They are the definition of bottomfeeders.

I don't see the fuss about this update. Aside from the prices. There's hats in there that cost £12. For a ing hat. The game itself doesn't even cost that much.

PCers should just wait a month or so. Valve will give out that stuff for free after a good chunk of the PCers that they can't afford the packs.

It is all free already, you can find every single thing in there through either crafting or random drops.

OP is just ing to , because he feels that VALVe owes him for some reason. Shut up and stop throwing names around, it's pathetic.

Sure is bottomfeeding. The release a half- products on PURPOSE, then promise to fix and update the product but somehow have time to make hats and stupid comics and whatever else they do that makes no sense then disappear when all the fixes are due.

Oh then when they fail to read what they have on their packaging and have failed to read the Xbox developers agreement they still blame others for their own stupidity.

Don't bother, MMXBL is just mad and has been for a long long time. Anything Valve does is bad.
