Team Fortress 2 is free to play because Valve shifted to a free-to-play model with microtransactions, allowing them to earn revenue from in-game purchases like hats and weapons!

TF2 is free because they figured out people love spending on in-game items even more than paying upfront.

Lure you in with free gameplay and then make bank on those sweet, sweet hats and weapons!
