As reported by CVG.

Last week the Half-Life developer announced three limited edition in-game hats, ranging from $7.99 to $99.99, with proceeds going directly towards the Japanese disaster relief fund.

"Take a BOW, TF2 community -- because that is an incredible, frankly astounding, amount of money from a dedicated number of gamers, to one heck of a lot of people in some real need right now," it wrote on the TF2 Blog.

"Anytime someone gives you guff about something negative in gaming, you go ahead and point them to this post, because here's some late-breaking damn news: they are wrong and gamers are generous and awesome."

The "Humanitarian's Hachimaki" ($7.99), the "Benefactor's Kanmuri" ($19.99) and the most prestigious "Magnanimous Monarch" ($99.99) will be available until April 6.
