If I understand properly, this list is taken from Steam somehow. Is the removal of TF2 from the list some sort of foreshadowing to the rumors flying around about perma-free TF2, or is it a site bug on this end?

EDIT:

Looks like I got my answer

EDIT 2:

It would appear purchased TF2 accounts still have many benefits, so I still want to gift this baby.

When I go to the store page for TF2, instead of buy, it says "Team Fortress 2 Free Week" or something.

I saw this, but some people are questioning its legitimacy. It is odd that I still have the copy in my gifts section on Steam though.

Lol, if you take a look at the comments on the link I posted, it seems a lot of people are pissed off about this. I dunno why, I'm stoked.

@Fishpen, go look at the Steam store page for TF2 :http://store.steampowered.com/app/440/?snr=1_4_4__13

I am aware this week is free to play. Apparently, the rumors are that it will stay free after this weekend.

Perhaps it's just listed under a strange name? The Orange Box is still available on the list.

So, people are apparently worried that now that it is free, a boatload of hackers are going to start ruining TF2. I don't get that at all... People who pay for games still use hacks, it doesn't matter if it's free.

When they get VAC banned, they have to drop money to get back in the game. If it is free, a VAC ban is nothing.

I would like to think that Valve has taken all these issues into consideration when planning making the game free.

The biggest surprise in this for me in how unfriendly the TF2 community seems. Instead of looking forward to new players, training them and what not, they'd rather just bitch and call them noobs.

They are implementing some new system to keep the cheaters and idlers out, and every gamer was 10 at some point... Instead of calling them noobs, teach them the ropes, how to play.

I just popped out of a random pub server with a 5:1 KDR and 12 dominations. Besides once earlier this week to warm up, I have not played TF2 in something like 2 months. Hopefully this wears out after a week or so...

I think I am going to take part in that mentoring program.

TF2 is free, one of the best games of all time. SO i say take it off the list, no reason to gift something that's free.

There are a few small benefits to having the "full" version, which still requires some money to be spent.

indeed. you get some limitations when you got the game for free, but those are removed once you spend any amount of money on the game, either by having purchased it before or by spending money in the shop

To use the Steam wallet you actually have to load it with a minimum of $5. So even if the cheapest item is 50 cents, you still lose 5 bucks.

This is what you get if you have purchased the game.

It's the coolest hat you can EVER get and ever will see. Definitely worth your 20 bucks.

Hey hey! I just joined the site and was wondering about gifting TF2 as I still have it available to gift when I got it along with Valve Complete Pack. I suppose when gifted it will unlock premium account but to make sure I asked on Steam forums as well. And how am I supposed to make a giveaway with it here now? :P
EDIT: Official FAQ says that when you purchase a retail version it counts as a premium upgrade. Nothing said about gifting copies but it's very plausible it's the same.
