FOX TAIL:
I'm just explaining to idiots who expect to get something big out of it, you might as well get a hat to show people you helped Japan

No they don't. They're not taking any money from Japan. There's a difference between no gain, and loss.

I don't know what you're basing that assumption off, but it's incredibly stupid.
Swholli:
Yeah guys, Valve makes no profit from this, whatsoever.
If Menen had finished his failquote:
--- Quote from: Valve ---All proceeds (net of applicable taxes) will go directly towards the Japanese disaster relief fund that the American Red Cross has set up.
--- End quote ---
Taxes go to the government. Taxes need to be there because this is a purchase made by you. You could donate to the red cross, skip the taxes (as a big F U to the government or something) and have the same results. This way you get a TF2 item.
Why is that so hard to understand? Wynd_Fox explained it like three times.
