Today marks the 1 year anniversary of Valve’s “Mann Co. Store” which enabled Team Fortress 2 community members to create, buy, sell and trade ‘wearable in game items’.
Valve has opened up the “Manniversary Update and Sale” to celebrate its annual milestone. As part of the Manniversary celebration, almost everything in the Mann Co. in-game store will be on sale until Monday, October 17th.
The Manniversary Update includes several new features, including Steam Workshop, an improved item submission system that allows community item-creators to test, share and track the status of their creations. The entire TF2 community will also be allowed to participate by browsing, rating and offering feedback on all submitted items. The Steam Workshop will be fully integrated with the Steam community.
In addition to the Workshop, the Manniversary Update will also ship 30 new hats and cosmetic items, an item decal system, weeklong “try before you buy” item tryouts, loadout presets, multiple miscellaneous items slots, improved game performance, and a new taunt. The Update is one of the largest and most ambitious in TF2’s four-year history.
