June 14 - Stupid Update

[FadedOasis]

Required updates for Team Fortress 2 are now available. The specific changes include:

- Added the Spiral Knights promotional hat
- Updated The Superfan, The Essential Accessories, and The Hero's Hachimaki so they can be painted
- Updated The Conjurer's Cowl and The Maul so they can be crafted and traded

This seems totally worth my time spent updating the server. Fuck you, Valve.

So instead of a game that gets stale or boring, they update constantly to ensure there is a steady stream of new players coming into the game. I totally get that it's a pain in the ass to update the server all the time, but consider that the alternate choice might be no TF2 if they hadn't started down this road.

I really doubt the number of people playing TF2 increased because the Superfan is now paintable.

Though I'm quite sure they increased because of the Spiral Knights promotion. I don't think they update the other hat stuff without having something worthwhile being updated as well.

Yeah, the stupid part is that in the past two weeks there have been 4 updates. And it looks like they're averaging about 2 per week since April, which is crazy.
