Valve Unleashes the Mann Co. "Mannivesary" Update and Sale
It's the One Year Manniversary of the Team Fortress 2 Mann Company Store!
One year ago today [actually, yesterday] Valve opened the Mann Company Store for Team Fortress 2, which lets players purchase not just Valve-created in-game items but also some designed by members of the community, who were paid for their efforts [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/104607-Valve-Pays-Royalties-for-Fan-Created-Items-in-TF2] - pretty well, as it turns out. In just one year, community content creators earned more than $2 million for their efforts. Two million dollars!
To make life even easier for those intrepid builders and the less-talented members of the community who live only to judge the works of others, Valve has opened the Steam Workshop [http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse], an improved version of the content creation hub that will simplify the uploading and feedback process for user-generated content.
For those of you who'd rather play than build, a big Manniversary Update brings 30 new hats and other cosmetic items to the game, along with item decals, loadout presets, a week-long "try before you buy" system and even a new taunt. And nearly all of it is on sale!
Confound men of science! Become a hot dog expert! Learn how to hit people in the face with a broken bottle! Sound hot? Of course it does! So read all about it at the commemorative One Year Anniversary Mann Co. Update and Sale Catalog [http://www.teamfortress.com/manniversary/index.html].
