Valve recently announced three limited edition Team Fortress 2 in-game hats, ranging from $7.99 to $99.99, with proceeds going to Japanese disaster relief efforts. Valve has announced that over $300,000 has been raised from the virtual item sale so far.
“Take a BOW, TF2 community — because that is an incredible, frankly astounding, amount of money from a dedicated number of gamers, to one heck of a lot of people in some real need right now,” reads the Team Fortress 2 blog {link no longer active}. “Anytime someone gives you guff about something negative in gaming, you go ahead and point them to this post, because here’s some late-breaking damn news: they are wrong and gamers are generous and awesome.”
The items will be available until April 6.
