They are still NOT "taking them away". Stop writing that this instant.

We have too many of those hats, e.g. we have over 100k Fedoras, people don't want to craft their metal into another one, because so many already have one.

hm... i see. but i still think they should keep the hats in the shop, and in drops.

MONEY MONEY MONEY
Valve's genius idea of making LOADS A MONEY from people buying the hats while they still can.

You are a fool for asking such dumb question, the answer is pretty simple & obvious, They threat us by taking hats away, the community starts buying as much as hats as possible from trades & mann co. when they are gone the price of the hats goes up, and gaben enjoys another life-time supply of burritos to choke on(his last life-time supply depleted in 1 year)

Threaten us* Ashamed.

Well thank you for the info, but no need to be so hostile...

they werent taken away they were lost in a problem with the mann co servers and they couldnt get them back look this stuff up before you post ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I'm sure Mr. LaMAyO had nothing to do with it.

The Frequenly asked question that is still not satisfactorally answered is why they did this. And everyone is asking it more frequently than the other questions. (I get that existing ones will still be around.)

Perhaps if we knew what caused the initial converation and eventual decision to have these hats retire in the first place we could prevent further retirements(and reduce whining). While I enjoyed the creativity of them inventing this little story event and only explaining it in the context of the fictional universe of TF2, I'm sure everyone would appreciate a real world answer that applies to the actual universe.
