New TF2 Update adds Item Store.

[aquagene]

There's a new TF2 update. Apparently the community made poly pack is going to be sold ingame, each item individually, from .99 - 5.00.  I'm not gonna buy anything personally, seems like a waste of money. Apparently, "Some cosmetic items can never be found or crafted, only bought." Which leads me to believe that the new poly count items do drop, but their drop chance is very, very small, otherwise there wouldn't be a reason to sell em.

The polycount items have the same drop chance as everything else in the game. They all also have extremely simple recipes to craft them with. So, in the end, there isnt much of a reason to buy them. Its just another option, since the community had been asking for it for forever.

The only things that can't be crafted are things like paint buckets and nametags, which are used to recolor hats or change item names.

Every time there's an update to TF2 I hate TF2 a little more... I will force myself to play, however.

Can I use food stamps to buy items?
