News You Can Use: 5/31/2015

Posted on: May 31st, 2015 by Obey

There hasn’t been much in the way of patches in TF2, so let’s spread some news!

o. UPDATE 6/1/15: There is a new “Mysterious” badge locked in your Steam badges list.  Gee, that might have something to do with the Steam Summer Sale.  Get your gems together…!

1. Rumor is, the Steam Summer Sale starts June 11th! It will run for two weeks, and then there will be some encore sales afterward.

2. Back in April, Valve declared that they are working on ways to implement matchmaking (i.e. a rating system that measures your skill) in competitive play. In other words, an official Valve way of identifying your competitive playing skill without having to graduate through ranks to reach the top. Now, if they could just do this with regular pubbers!

3. PC Gamer’s May 4th article about TF2′s longevity, and their March 12th article about games that are great for kids while being somewhat educational also.

4. Strange Kritzkriegs are still selling in the US$40 to $50 range. They’re only a ~1% drop from a #92 crate (or a 20% drop from a #30 crate), but since falling from US$75 to $100, the price has stabilized for months. But hey, if you get lucky, quicksell it so you can have some money for the Steam Sale….
