If this doesn't succeed; I'm quitting TF2 for once and all. Even fucking EA dealt with similar crisises on their currently unprofitable games (Battlefront 2, Titanfall 2 etc.) and I'm talking about fucking EA, the greediest cunts in the AAA gaming industry. What stops Valve from investing a portion of what they earn from TF2 to better anticheat? Hell even outsource it, hire that fucking megascatterbomb dude who built a cheater/bot database. It certainly can't be worse than how it is at this very moment.
I paid for TF2. That's how long I've played off and on. I checked in on it this past year to play a bit on my steamdeck. It's basically unplayable outside of community run servers. Hackers and bots instantly join every valve run server and ruin any fun being had.
