Prolific Team Fortress 2 collector is selling his in-game case arsenal for an estimated $100,000 — 1.7 million items collected over 10 years are enough to fund a house purchase

Vincent Stech has collected over 1.7 million Team Fortress 2 cases across multiple Steam accounts, with an estimated value of 0,000. He began this collection around late 2017 and used automated methods to accumulate the cases while avoiding detection by Valve. Stech holds approximately 17% of all publicly known TF2 cases, making it challenging to sell them without disrupting the market. He has found a buyer for his entire collection, with the transaction in progress and expected to be completed by October. Stech plans to use the proceeds from the sale as a down payment on a house.

Guillermo del Toro expressed admiration for the game Dead Cells but requested a mode to reduce frustrations from its difficulty. Motion Twin, the game's development team, clarified that an Assist mode already exists, allowing players to resurrect at the beginning of the current biome or at the nearest checkpoint instead of restarting the entire run. Del Toro's concerns were mainly about the roguelike mechanics that cause significant setbacks upon death. His oversight regarding the Assist mode is noted as a common experience among gamers who often overlook basic gameplay features.

Producer Masachika Kawata emphasized that remakes are as important as mainline titles and have helped secure financial resources for new projects.
