Maybe It’s Time We Get Valve To Do Something About TF2
Even though it launched 15 years ago, Team Fortress 2 is still one of themost played games on Steam. While it’s still got nothing on Valve’s perennially popularCS:GOandDota 2, it has ahigher active player countat time of writing than current darlingV Rising, which just sold more than a million copies in a week. But the people frustrated with the bots flooding TF2 say the issue has gone on for two years, and repeated attempts to get Valve to listen have failed. “These bots use aimhacks, attempt to kick other players, and spam racist messages in chat and on mic,” more than one player said in an email to RPS. Another simply pleaded: “Valve please do not let TF2 die.”
Here’s what Valve has posted in response to concerned TF2 community members:

Ed placed Team Fortress 2 15th on his list of the25 best FPS games on PC to play in 2022. “Valve took years and years to settle upon a model for what has become one of the firmly-entrenched favourites of the PC gaming fraternity,” he said, “and that they did so allowed it to prove that a multiplayer first-person shooter can be funny, even witty, and that constant experimentation and progression can keep a game alive and evolving long after it should have ground to a halt.”
Team Fortress 2 is free-to-play onSteam. Watch out, there are bots about, although not for much longer though, hopefully.
