Valve has announced today that Team Fortress 2 is now completely free to play… for everyone… forever.

Now that we’re shipping it, it feels like a fairly straightforward next step along the “Games as Services” path we’ve been walking down for a while now.

Right now we’re only planning on [monetizing by] using the items you can purchase from the in-game store.

Also, Valve has released this trailer introducing the Medic to the game:
