Steve Schulze

Wasn't there supposed to be another unnannounced Polycount winner?

Mr.Spark

YES! YEAHHHH!

It looks like the 6th pack is being released with the Art Pass Winner, as well as the new Gamemode.

Klumpmeister

r13

I bought the full pack

Skamberin

And already forums on the internet are exploding with rage at the PC items costing more than Valve items :P Goddamn people are hilariously stupid.

Congrats to everyone who got in, hopefully you'll earn a good buck on these

Matroskin

great job on that pack, congrats to guys who`s items r in there
I thought it will be only visual but looks like new items have some new features as well...

You guys did an awesome job on these assets, but holy crap, the game is a frickin' circus now. People are *proud* of how much money they spend on these things? It's only fair that artists get recompensed for their work, but passing on a $17 hat to the player? I'm glad that's optional. Valve is going to make a killing on this stuff, and I'm glad it at least has the great craftsmanship of Polycount artists behind it.

Yeah great update and I almost had nerd rage till I realised that you don't actually need to buy anything.

Captain_Spaulding

Dont worry, the transaction thing is purely optional. Valve insists on the fact that the player has the CHOICE on how he's gettting the new items.

either you pays $50 or you wait a year

i hope to be skilled enough to one day make stuff for companies
still a 10 month rookie...T_T

Captain_Spaulding

Is it true that there's going to be a second polycount pack contest for the remaining classes?
