Shout out to that moment back in 2009 when Robin Walker of Valve once wrote that they started working on Team Fortress 2 back in 1987. (www.teamfortress.com)

(2nd paragraph) ...which would have put the development of TF2 11 years before the first Team Fortress came out. Nice one, Robin.

Given that in the very same post he wrote "we need to go back, way back, into the mists of time, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and we started working on TF2", did you consider it could just be a joke?

I didn't consider this to be intentional. But given that part and context (Valve loves to make jokes), this could be it. Either it is a typo or an intentional joke, which is also likely.
