The TINIEST Easter Egg in TF2

Another thanks to THE Grampa Swood for finding this!

Well that’s cuz in the box there’s maggots who will eat the nearest server running tf2’s wires until they let you have the premium account!

The barcode is a sticker so it's even more perfect for the time period cause it would have been an existing product that they then put the barcode on afterwards because they were becoming popular, God I love this game

You're not saying it correctly. It has to be yelled in the most gravelly voiced manner possible.

I remember making a real dumb mistake years ago with this item. It was about 7 plus years ago, and I got this thinking that I would get a premium for my account, not realizing that if I bought it regardless, I would get a premium, so I got Premium and MORE PREMIUM!!

Why buy a premium upgrader for 5$ when can buy panic attack from the store for like 0.5$?

[aceplante]

The "upgrade to premium" kit is a scam. It doesnt actually work. I gave it to a free to play friend, and apparently YOU STILL CANT TALK UNLESS YOUR ACCOUNT HAS SPENT MONEY?? which ruins the whole point of the item

[iLuvArtanis]

i got this from my dear friend, yet i still cant use chat.

[Mr.Axolotle-of_the-eighth_guy]

It is time period accurate, it’s not common (something for premium players)

[volumebar]

thought that said something else at first 💀💀

The first home video game console also released in 1972. Although I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be a big box PC game, which didn’t exist until the 1980s.

[TheOneZytel]

Nevermind the barcode existing back then, I didn't know they sold video games in boxes during the 70's. Also when reading "MAGGOTS" it shoukd've been soldiers voice line 😂

[RustysRevenge]

It also doesn’t allow players in causal to use chat, also buying a cheap item for premium is cheaper and you get an item

This is what happens to a community when there is no major update in a decade

[BLUERAYGUNER]

Rick May will forever be part of a premium upgrade to TF2. Just feels right.

[scroogemcduche]

Please pin this. Upgrade to premium does infact give you premium, but, it does not give you the ability to chat on tf2 unless you have spent 5$ on steam itself. Essentially, you have the features of premium without chat capability.

You were good son, real good; maybe even the best.

Random story about this; when i was younger i saw that on the mannco store and always thought “why would anyone pay for a FREE game?!” And then years later the sims 4 released, which started paid but was made free (and i unfortunately bought it full price)

[sniper]

its a box of maggots

trust me, soldier tried to give me some

[darkcloudsxiaoisbestgirl]

Great, now I'm getting Raditz flashbacks.

[Mrblah]

I couldn’t make out the first letter until you said it
