Even after all this time, Team Fortress 2 can still hold its own on Steam's top sellers chart. It got a boost this week thanks to an update on July 24, which included a trove of community-created content. TF2 bounced up into the top 10 on Steam's top sellers chart for a few days and is currently holding its ground in the top 20.

So, despite worries that Valve has forgotten about TF2, it's clearly still alive and well. The July 24 update included 10 new maps, 23 new items, four new taunts, and 14 new Unusual effects (seven for hats, seven for taunts), all of which were community contributions. There's also the usual general fixes and balancing updates.
