Valve Should Be Embarrassed FixTF2

Thanks a ton for bringing attention to this issue Charlie, your voice matters to our community more than you know.

Bot hosters sent fake DMCA claims to the fixtf2 site owner. yikes

'84,000 players online right now!' How do we tell him...

It's insane that Valve is doing absolutely nothing about bots not only ruining their game, but also quite literally sending links to sites that contain something which shares the same acronym as Control Point.

Valve has the guts to let their games die but still release lootboxes.

TF2 players are some of the most loyal, most devoted players in the gaming industry, and valve just shits on them. FixTF2

I joined a server where it was only me and some other guy. It was on pl_pier. No bots, but also no other players. Then, the guy left and I was the only fella on the battlefield. Team fortress 2 is not supposed to be that quiet. Another server I played on was ctf_twofort. Our whole team was engineers, and we built sentries and dispensers to prevent bots from killing us. The whole of red team was bots, and we were keeping them on the server in order to prevent them from flooding other ones. I joined in 2020, and my dad got steam in order to play tf2 with me. I just want to play tf2 with my dad.

TF2 brought me to Steam 12 years ago and I have nearly 1800 games on their platform now, and over 110 Steam badges. Valve not taking care of this community is absolutely insane.

Its fucking wild because like a year back some members of the community decided to make their own version of TF2 to fix the bot problem. Valve struck it down because they used TF2 assets for their alpha period (They had planned to swap out assets and were just using them for testing) which shows that they're still watching the community. They'll instantly respond if it'll cut out a portion of their profit but they'll sit there with their hand in their ass about the bots because the game still gets sales without them doing anything. Its so fucking sad.

The problem with bad actors in TF2 goes so much deeper than what's on the surface, and valve KNOWS. It's constantly reported to them and they keep showcasing a horrendous amount of negligence. Thank you for shining light on the situation.

The fact that the creator of omegatronic insulted Rick May...

"If Valve doesn't care about supporting their games, why should we care about Deadlock?" Thanks for putting it bluntly, man. I've seen quite a few people going "Deadlock doesn't look that bad" or "Deadlock doesn't deserve to be caught in the TF2 crossfire" when tbh it very much should be. Not only is Valve making an Overwatch clone despite pioneering the hero shooter genre, but if Valve doesn't bother with supporting their still popular games outside of MTX, why should we trust the Deadlock servers aren't just gonna be the same clusterfuck of bots their other games are? The Deadlock backlash isn't because people are mad about TF2. It's because Valve has burnt a lot of their good will over the years by making bank off of MTX while their games are in absolute dumpsterfire states competitively. And Deadlock is only hammering that home even harder now.

"So, TF2 is full of bots and fans complain, but the portal series is about bots and players love them? Make up your minds, people." -Valve, probably

Can’t believe we are now at a point where the US Justice System is more likely to fix the game than Value

When Charlie comes back for a part 2 after years you know it’s serious.

I have an idea. When deadlock finally comes out, everyone should add "not reccomended" rating and write "they didn't fix tf2".

It’s actually been 8 years since the bots starting to infest official Valve servers. They still kept releasing cases after they squeezed out that tweet 2 years ago. They’re now working on another game while TF2 is in the shitter and CS2 slowly going into the same ditch as well. They have all the resources available to fix this game to a playable state.

The fact that the VA for Medic tweeted about this is sad. He really cares about the community

There was a guy from New Zealand called megascatterbomb who was working on an anticheat for tf2 that could theoretically be implemented into the vanilla game. The bot hosters in Oceania servers started to make bots pretending to be megascatterbomb, spamming links to his discord server hoping people will harass him, and making AI generated voice clips of megascatterbomb saying truly disgusting things.

You know, the next step in case Valve keeps on doing nothing should be to file a class-action lawsuit against Valve for allowing potentially criminal activities within their product's reach. They should be held accountable for the harassment, doxxing, DDOS attacks, endorsing child pornography, swatting and scamming that bot hosters have been allowed to do thanks to their obsolete moderation systems.
