Store will be upgraded automatically to a 'premium account'. Anyone who previously paid for the game, or who uses their Steam Wallet to make a purchase from the in-game Mann Co. Players downloading the game now will be registered as having a 'free account'. There will be no ads in game and a detailed FAQ on the game's official website explains that by nearly all purchasable items will also be available via random in-game drops too, meaning that it's possible to unlock almost everything for free with patience. Team Fortress 2 is the first Valve made game to follow suit. The announcement follows Valve allowing third-party free-to-play games to be featured on its Steam download service earlier this month, launching with Sega's Spiral Knights, Perfect World's Forsaken Worlds, Atari's Champions Online: Free for All, Hi-Rez Studios' Global Agenda: Free Agent, and NHN USA's Alliance of Valiant Arms. In-game clothing, weapon and customisation options, already available via Steam's Wallet purchase system, will now fund the game in its entirety. Valve has announced that its four year-old team-based shooter, Team Fortress 2, has become a free-to-play title supported entirely via microtransactions.
