I wouldn't want to speculate, but there is a high probability that Ze Goggles will be next on the MannCo. retired list. it's a classic hat, with an old, mid-tier effect. It stands out from the rest new, contributed hats and garners much more attention than the blizzards, steaming and other new effects. The new price isn't a steep hike, but an update to a 2 month outdated price.
