@Norrec: The real and obvious question is when will we have hats in L4D2?jk
Anyhow, I'm not mad at all its F2P, I'm more worried about the abuse of scammers (a full trade account you can get for as low as .2 if you know what your doing) and hackers. I know from an incident reported here awhile ago about someone who was hawking CD keys and valve disabled all the accounts he ever accessed on his computer (like 7 I think). Hopefully Valve will step up and start to take more action like that against hackers and scammers alike to mitigate the potential "threat" by F2P players (also mentioned in the TF2 F2P FAQ page) . Otherwise, it still is a game nearly 4 years old, I'm still sticking around for the foreseeable future.
Edit: and what oza said about portal 1, (valve had no clue how the game would be received and was too risky at the time to release by itself. so it was a bonus)
