Curious just how lucrative haberdashery for Team Fortress 2 is? Well, Valve's recently announced that since 2011, it's paid out over $57 million to folks participating in its Steam Workshop program. That tally encompasses some 1,500 content makers 3D modeling items for Counterstrike: Global Offensive, Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2 across 75 countries -- roughly $38,000 per person. If what's held you back from making and selling your own custom gear is a white-hot burning hatred for first-person shooters and MOBAs, well, Gabe Newell and Co. have news for you, too: curated workshops are opening for Dungeon Defenders: Eternity and first-person slasher Chivalry: Medieval Warfare .


And to give you a better idea of what hats of yours are most popular with purchasers, there's a new set of analytic and real-time measurement tools coming down the pike. None of this, however, will get us any more info on Half Life 3, but it could be your foot in the door for a game development job.
