Its like 80% of the internet's stupid has gathered here to argue about completely unrelated things.

Don't feed the troll.

even though TF2 went free to play after i payed for it, i don't mind. it feels like i got my money's worth. the amount of content and awesome stuff they gave us for free is amazing. the whole in game shop is just to keep up the content keep the player base full. that's why you have such a great and successful game 5 years on.
