When you think TF2 is going to die?

Yes it can die soon

As soon as they make TF3

When TF3 comes out.

When people stop playing it.

Probably half-past never, even if Valve released TF3 tomorrow.

TF2 will be upgraded at no charge to TF3 and your items will be transferred. Nailed on.

There is no way Valve will allow this cash cow to stop breathing, or risk the sort of outcry that would surely accompany any move to shut up shop.

It may die a death of its own accord, but the market is still busy, and the game isn't close to dead yet.

I left it 2 weeks ago,moving on to dota.
Occasionally playing it just to look at my unusual

When people stop wearing hats.

I think that it will probably die in 7 or 10 years, TF2 is one of the biggest Valve's money maker and they will do EVERYTHING to keep it alive. It has been 7 years since TF2 was released, many multiplayer FPS games die after the first 2 years, Valve is doing everything they can to make people to play their game. And may be, just may be, it will never die (I'm not kidding)

Given the amount of items and their value, I don't think it will ever die :S A new game that allows all those items to carry over is the only way it will get done.

It will die sometime after Team Fortress 1
Team Fortress player stats

Maybe in 20 more years?

when there are no more hats

When trading is down.

runescape has been up for over a decade, it hasn't died yet

When they start to add hats... oh, wait...

Since trading update...it's dead already

some time after HL3, when TF3 comes out :)

Wow that's a good question :P I play it occasionally, but I'm too busy playing LoL and Thief, etc

Hopefully never, so all those cosmetic junkies stay out of other games.

It will die when a hat-shaped alien civilization starts invading earth and gruesomely killing and torturing human beeings for years, until finally an uprising of humans mange to fight back and reclaim earth.. hats will forever be a symbol of evil in the minds of men, similar to Hitler.. thus TF2 will have no reason to exist anymore.

inb4 TF2 is already dead

I give it 2-3 years, probably gonna see TF3 on the new source engine and some carryover/promo items for previous players. Development of non-seasonal/non-aesthetic (hats) content has been down lately, but they will probably add some more to MVM, a few community maps and maybe a new weapon or two (assuming they don't make anymore balance changes to the weapons).

It will die tomorrow.
