Not so high when you consider the prices that some unusual hats can reach in trading communities. Still would be amazing to have/gift one of those.
Most annoying thing I've seen in game so far, that includes backstabbin mofos and crazy pyros with lasers. (Though some of the prompts I saw were kinda funny, but still)
Its funny how everyone bashes origin and praises steam. They complain that ea rips them off with dlc and shit, but valve is way more guilty. Ea would never put a useless $100 in game item in there games.

Does nobody understand that this is a joke? Why does everybody forget what Gabe's sense of humor is?
dont get why people are complaining.

Ea put a $100 DLC car in a Need for Speed game. It wasn't even the best car in the game. Also remember that IOS roller-coaster sim? Yeah. $60 for a virtual roller-coaster ride isn't extortionist. It's a good thing that that was one of the cheaper ones, I don't know HOW they make their money. Must be all that DRM that's keeping them in the black.

For those who are complaining...
Seriously? The one time they make a joke item that costs more than... Say, 12GB of RAM, or $40 more than an actual game? What's the problem with it? If people are dumb enough to spend $100 on that, why can't they? Like smoger said, it gives NO advantage to anyone.
They even say it's useless. So shut up.

It's $100 for a declaration across a very large community. Try comparing it to, say, the same at a baseball game's billboard.
Its fucked up to release expensive digital items like this, and I'm not okay with it. But if your okay with it, whatever, to each his own I guess.
And tekbunny: fuck you. What's your problem. I'm not trying to troll or anything, I'm just speaking my opinion. If someone has a different opinion then you, there automatically a troll? I think your the one thats trying to troll.

I'd buy it cause its fucking hilarious. "The most accurate simulation of an actual Valentine's gift ever made available to the public."
Um, thing is, it isn't useless-sounding, if it broadcasts a message hundreds of thousands of people will see. I don't find that romantic, but it seems like it's....impressive.
They are not FORCING you to buy it, There is no reason to get all rattled over this.. Anyway, this is actually a bad valentines day gift since BOTH of you will be getting spammed with messages afterward considering your names get broadcasted and what not... Ehh rich tf2 players will buy just about anything...
@halo
Fuck ME? Fuck YOU!
/movie reference.
Also, you're preaching to the choir buddy, but you have no argument or leg to stand on. Also, no one said shit about trolling son, maybe you should come back and post when you're less drunk maybe?

EA did the same thing, but at least Valve is being straight with it. "Yeah, it's overpriced, but so is Valentine's Day. So what?" EA just does it to make their other products look cheaper by comparison. So when Valve presents it this way, I feel more like they're just offering it as an option rather than actually expecting me to buy it like a good little boy.
Tekbunny: Everytime I comment on an article you make some stupid ass remark claiming I'm trolling. Stop your weird obsession with me.
wow, really? dude, i'm telling you, i've done it myself, just stop posting until you sober up. maybe you're depressed because youre alone on the dreaded v-day, but you're only making an ass of yourself.
or does everytime = two times in your world? and obsession = i've mentioned you twice?
actually, the more i read your comments in this thread it looks like you might have some kind of obsession with ME... creepy...

Some people have money coming out their asses and can do this sort of thing. Valve isn't scamming anyone seeing as they tell you it's useless in the description so what's the big deal? I bought a coat at GoodWill that would cost $300 new and was worn maybe twice.
If people have fuck you money let them spend it on what they will as long as it doesn't bother the rest of us.

Why so hostile? Jim-ma-nee-crickets. This is a different bag then the one carried by EA. You can argue that it this $100 ring is dumb in itself, I would mostly agree, but to say it is worse than something EA has done? I would have to disagree. EA charges you for extra game content. Valve gives you free, extra game content, and then charges you for a optional hat (which can be technically earned/traded/gifted for free). Night and day.

@misterfox
hello good sir, as this is you're first week on the internet, i welcome you. it's pretty wild west out here.
@abletothink
thank god you are able to think. exactly this. some people are fools and spend their money unwisely (ie, origins, call of duty elite, wow, origins, and about 80 percent of dlc out there). i wish people weren't stupid sometimes.
only sometimes, though.

Cuz, you know, EA just LOVES their customers. "Want this game used? Oh, it's *online*... 10 bucks please."
There is a reason why Valve is one of the most loved game companies; you're just being ignorant of it.

I think this is kinda funny.
It's a way to pop the question in a unique way, which is usually pricy as hell anyway, and they probably also made it deliberately costly so that people would not spam it constantly. It does not affect game play in any real way and is purely optional, so I'm not sure why anyone would rage on this.

Hah ha haa hahaha!
Im laughing for all those serious item collectors.
Put yeah, like someone mentioned at the beginning, the things going around in the trading sites and such is similar to this. I mean, there are people saying "My hat is about worth 400$. Dont give me low offer or I'll report you" and there's even standard price set for those earbuds Mac players would get which is 20-something I think.
So I can see it already: 5 earbuds for the engagement ring.
And congratulations to Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Hope you have fun anal hoofing.

You'll Never Make Me Stay
So Take Your Weight Off Of Me
I Know Your Every Move
So Won't You Just Let Me Be
I've Been Here Times Before
But I Was Too Blind To See
That You Seduce Every Man
This Time You Won't Seduce Me
She's Saying That's Ok
Hey Baby Do What You Please
I Have The Stuff That You Want
I Am The Thing That You Need
She Looked Me Deep In The Eyes
She's Touchin' Me So To Start
She Says There's No Turnin' Back
She Trapped Me In Her Heart
Dirty Diana, No
Dirty Diana, No
Dirty Diana, No
Dirty Diana
Let Me Be!

You know, I think there is a subtext here. There are no official female class models, so in effect, Valve created a world where gay marriage is the norm.
I don't get how people are up in arms about the cosmetic item DLC in Gotham City Impostors when Valve pulls shit like this on a regular basis, and with functionally different weapons no less.
BTW this kind of thing should be considered not as purchasing an item, but as tipping in the restaurant. You will probably get some extra service if you tip higher, but this is not a contract. You can see that tip was kinda low, or quite high but there are no rigid bounds here. If someone really enjoys his meal and service he can leave huge tip, even if he's never coming back to this place and it is not "wrong".
It can get really cool if most of the on-line virtual restaurants of game entertainment will eventually skip price-tag on the meal entirely and just take these tips and offer some small kindnesses for tipping customers (like hats).

@Bomberjack: Because TF2 is free, and you can get any of the items they sell just by playing the game? People pay because they have the dosh and want to spend it on a game they like. That is a big difference to just not having the content in the game and forcing people to pay extra for it.
Also, anyone who complains about this is just looking for something to be outraged about. It is a JOKE item, Valve even says it's a fucking joke item in the announcement. It's an image and some text. But once again, if people want to spend their money on a game they enjoy, even if it's for a joke, then who the fuck cares?
I swear gamers just love to nitpick about every little fucking thing they can.

I know I'm extremely late to this discussion, but I think a lot of the naysayers miss the point here.
If my wife were a Team Fortress 2 player, I would have considered this as a way to propose to her. Instead, I used Animal Crossing. Still, $100 for a unique in game item is less than I paid for her actual ring.
