TF2 Economics- Key Inflation Explained
EDIT: Ignore what I said about it becoming F2P. The idle accounts have always increased over time, so that's still why the supply of ref is increasing, but the number of idle accounts didn't increase any more significantly than before or after F2P.
The economy in TF2 is at a weird point right now, which caused an uproar from the players. Everyone's worried about the prices going up, why, and how... I did my best to explain exactly what's up and how we got here. If you have anything to add, or find anything I'm wrong about, let me know! I love economics and I love hats, so this is a lot of fun to analyze.
