Obviously there's Covid and the Winter event map update to blame. But TF2 has never been more popular. It's both ingrained as a a nostalgia game for millenials and older zoomers. In addition to long being a top title and go-to F2P shooter game for newbies on the only relevant PC game distribution platform. Those games just don't die. Hell, even the likes of fucking Gmod has remained very stable. But yeah, TF2 is one of those games with absurd prices for rare items. I think the Burning Team Captain some are hats are still several thousand dollars. https://steamcharts.com/app/440
The game is nowhere near as alive as the steam player count would have you believe
