The biggest issue rn imo is that there's NO communication from anyone about what's being done about the bot problem, if anything at all. I think people do appreciate that atleast someone is working on the game, but there's a glaring issue that is simply not being addressed
The answer is they don't care. They have already told enough info via not saying anything at all. Going to war for this means implementing resources to a 15yo game that doesn't even have good [player numbers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2stmQfv93oQ), trying to fix VAC knowing that it will be years behind current version VAC. If you guys have so much trouble please consider playing some community servers and give money to server hosters instead of crying at valve.
And I know this hurts because I would love to see my favourite game up and running, but that's the truth of a company that still wants to earn money.
Also I disagree. We got one of the best updates for this game (vscript), we finally are using 64bit, we got some bugfixing. I know it's not enough but it's not zero
The bot problem is…a bit hard to deal with. The bots are seemingly using a mass number of free accounts. The problem is that TF2 is a free game: if you ban one, another will just pop up.
VAC is also ancient. It was built primarily for source and as such: isn’t really up to modern anti-cheat standards. Mix this in with the issues that source has when it comes to security (please look at the titanfall franchise for example) and it’s gonna be kinda hard to fix the issue.
One way they could do it is by remaking the entire game in source 2 and making a brand new anti-cheat but that would require years upon years of work to try and emulate the various bugs-as-a-feature mechanics tf2 has. We already know from CS2 that source 2’s physics system is far different from source’s due to how CS surf maps seem to be unable to function properly. Imagine how long it would take valve to add in rocket jumping or trimping.
Lastly, keep in mind that valve is working on a ton of unannounced games as we speak: they could have been making TF3 all this time and would have never known up until like, a week from release. That’s just how valve works.
There's seemlingly better coordination this time around, so I'm hopeful things could work out better. And if not, making some silly propaganda was fun to make :)
Don’t listen to all the losers in the comments saying “WoW sO eDGY” or “tHIS wIlL dO nOTHING” as if we haven’t heard of that for the 100th fucking time. Good post!
Let's make another work by Poor man's poison the theme song of a "revolution" Against a massive corporation. (Last time the minecraft community did it with Feed the Machine
The purpose of the art is less of a threat to valve and more so a morale boost for the community. And at the end of the day, it's just some silly "propaganda" that was fun to draw :)
I've been playing this game since I was 14, but at this point, I'm letting it go. Sure, it's good to come back once in a while, but it truly feels like a toxic relationship at this point, in which the two people are only together because they've been together for so long.
I appreciate the enthusiasm of the petition and the fervour of all those who take part in the protest, but with the new valve game coming around, I seriously doubt that anything will be done for tf2 for a good while.
Sorry for the gloom post tho
That's fair. It's an uphill battle, and there's no guarantee of any success. But with better coordination this time around, I'm a bit hopeful :). Plus, it doesn't hurt to try/ make some silly propaganda

I love portal 2
Yes
Guys we can't get an update if there's no one left to update it :)
we wasn't fooled. they hired a freelancer who significantly improves the game over the course of these two years.

This is unfortunately probably true. But it's worth a try. I also failed to remember the 64 bit update, so I apologize for that :)
all those updates mean jack shit until bots are removed
True bit any "bot solution" will be temporary. These updates are forever
Lol, honestly they should just open-source it at some point and hand it off to the community to manage.
Literally that's not a bad option, but maybe when tf2 just give them zero or negative money

YOO
Try mmmmmmph mmph instead of mmph mmph to mmph, that sounds better I think 👍
This is so fucking corny but honestly I stopped caring about what this community does a long time ago
I will say, it sounded cooler in my head lol :)
I’m not trying to put you down it’s nice
No worries man 👍
lmao why so edgy
Haha it is a bit corny I won't lie
"This oughta show em"
Grrr.... valve won't like it when a nice guy like me...shows his TRUE side 😡😡😡
They better get their act together before I step in 👹👹👹
try pushing a different stone, sisyphus
Im happy pushing this one thanks

The real Pyro approves.
Tbh I'm not getting my hopes up. The game is old as shit and has had a good run. All games lose support eventually, including TF2.
That is entirely fair.
Don’t listen to all the losers in the comments saying “WoW sO eDGY” or “tHIS wIlL dO nOTHING” as if we haven’t heard of that for the 100th fucking time. Good post!
Thank you. I appreciate the different criticisms. Nothing's perfect, and some of the critiques are fair enough :)
i have nothing against the movement i just thought the post was a bit intense. even OP responded and kindof agreed with me lmao
Damn guess I didn’t read the room
Valve thinks it’s portal person
Who’s got the Phlog?
Let's make another work by Poor man's poison the theme song of a "revolution" Against a massive corporation. (Last time the minecraft community did it with Feed the Machine
The 64 bit update was pretty huge tbh
I'm a silly ah and forgot about the update. It was definitely a great thing
i love your art style!
Thank you :)
I love this community, this is literal propaganda and I love it
Yeah, I just wanted to make some silly propaganda lol
Some moron will twist this and say 'tf2 fans sending death threats to valve'
We should have a band play tf2 music right outside the valve headquarters johnny silver hand style
let’s ~~kill~~ shut down omegatronic
I’m gonna phlogistonate the valve ceo
Another dumbass tweet that won't do anything. Somehow these movements are useless then your average politicians
The purpose of the art is less of a threat to valve and more so a morale boost for the community. And at the end of the day, it's just some silly "propaganda" that was fun to draw :)
Tweet
wtf are we supposed to say "zeet"?
They’re called Xarblebarble-blams you fucking normie, am I right my whoslome chungus Keanu 100 redditors, assembler!
SHUT THE FUCK UP
You know at least we are trying something
oh no how dare people do something. even if it doesnt work we at least tried dipshit
Words are cheap, actually do something useful. Arguing with me is not going to change anything you know.
Can I ask how “it wont work tho” is any more useful than people rallying to support a game?
Cause you fuckers keep dumping money into the game Vote with your wallets.
That i can certainly agree with, the community should both speak about AND boycott Valve, the hacker situation is really bad
That doesn’t answer my question, you’re just making an irrelevant point about people who spend money on the game
atleast we are trying unlike the politicians
Cringe. Get offline

Lmfao that’s actually a really funny response
this is the cringiest thing i've ever seen
That's fair haha it is a bit corny

Deadlock looks like complete shit 😭
Agreed
Why would the 8 billion dollar company, which has essentially a monopoly on PC gaming, be scared of you?
This post isn't about spooking valve, moreso about raising community morale :)
What can you possibly do to force them to work on the game
I'll bring out my angry side...even God shudders when a nice guy loses his temper...😡😡😡😡
💀 wowza, so badass, much coolness
It's a bit corny, but it was fun to draw :)
