Thereās an interesting statistic to be found in a Gamasutra interview with Steamās Jason Holtman, published earlier today. Concerning Team Fortress 2, and just how often Valve feel the need to tinker with and improve the game.
Apparently since the game was released two years ago, there have been 97 updates for the game. 97! Thatās roughly one a week, and has to be some kind of record. Were there a place/organisation bothering to check for such things, anyways.
Sure, that speaks volumes about the commitment of Valve to the game and the ways Steam allows them to directly service their customers. Thatās surely why the point was made. But I like it because it shows how insanely passionate (not to mention important) TF2ās vocal player base is, that their over-bearing presence has Valve so on their toes that theyāre updating a game on a weekly basis.
