PSA: Non-craftables and rarity

We have seen some claims about rarity when it comes to some items floating around.  Dirty weapons are often not rare.  Base64 continues his TF2 data mining and you can see the actual distribution of non-craftable items on his page here.  So before you buy that dirty vita-saw for a buds, think twice.

Steam Gameplay Statistics

In follow-up to the Steam Hardware and Software survey, this is a page we like to look at that shows gameplay and player statistics for Steam games (link here).  There are currently around 66,000 players in-game playing Team Fortress 2 right now.  Pretty remarkable for a "vintage" game like TF2.  It speaks to the game's longevity and Valve's continuous-improvement ideals.  You rock TF2.
