I know it's probably not much, and some of you americans probably do it often, but last night I got to play with valve, and they were answering questions over voice chat while playing.
I got these from my memory, and while I didn't get much exciting information, I think it might interest someone:
Q: Why the big soldier nerf? Is this based on the stats you gathered?
A (ErikJ): Yes, this comes directly from the stats. The soldier was too strong, that's why Robin always plays it.
Q: Will we see Hunted come back?
A: Maybe, some day. Depends on the weather.
Q: Will we see a canalzone remake?
A: Very unlikely
Q: What are your views regarding custom rules in competitive gameplay?
A: The tournament we play in has no restrictions
Q: Will we ever see TF2 on linux?
A: Very unlikely - there are a lot of things we can't do on linux that we'd like to.
Q: How come all my pyro damage and kills don't count for the new pack?
A: We weren't collecting that info.
Q: Will you keep making the packs for one class at a time?
A: We keep testing to see hwo our releases go, and get feedback from the community. So far it seems we're staying with one class at a time.
Q: Will you ever fix the shoot-through-gate bug?
A: Hopefully...
(At some point Robin blamed Erik for the Backstab and Auto Balance code. Immediately after this I was auto balanced to the other team and Robin wrote me "Youve been ERIKD!")
Q: Are you happy with the goldrush win/lose stats?
A: Not really... Most of the games end at a loss at the first stage.

Questions that they asked people:
Do you feel the new achievements being more reasonable then the medic ones?
What do you think should be added to the game?
Did any of you play TFC?
