Sixty-odd Team Fortress 2 community members had a hand in the Robotic Boogaloo, the Valve-backed update that saw a slew of colourful new hats added to the game. Their contributions have earned them a total of nearly $250,000 - split evenly, around $3,800 each.
They’re only the latest of some 400 contributors and partners to make more than $10m together using TF2’s item creation tools.
In a blog post yesterday, Valve encouraged more players to get involved in item creation using the improved submission tool. Steam Workshop creators are now able to preview renders of their items on TF2 characters, and also benefit from a new vetting system which automatically tests their work against a set of standards.
