That is too bad too. (Please read this with a polite tone, which is how I'm writing it) Valve wants to protect a huge commerce investment they made with hats. Definitely greed fueled. You can see it with the fact that they made half a million for the donation to japan for 3 hats they released over a period of two weeks... that should put what "hats" mean to valve in perspective. I'm sure they don't make that much money every two weeks but they still make a large chunk. It's a shame they've just locked up attachement customization completely. Makes me feel ashamed for them considering that a lot of their revenue came from adopting a mod as an official product (well two) and selling it... If they didn't have that ability to customize the game in that way no one would have created those mods and Valve probably wouldn't be where it is today.
