Broken promises, radio silence, doxing, and a bot problem that should be solved by now: Why is Valve letting this happen to TF2?

    This is sad. I put many, many, hours in this game and still get people messaging to buy my backpack.

      I stopped playing so long ago that I don’t even know what this comment means.

      I had an absolute blast with it back in the day though and put many hours in. Really sad to hear that Valve apparently doesn’t care enough to fix it.

    TF2 is no longer making a lot money for valve. Veteran players have all theirs special hats/cosmetics and no new player wants to invest time and money in a game so riddled with cheating bots. They could easily handle the situation. Detecting obvious cheating bots isn’t hard but valve doesn’t even try. Yes, there are community servers, like Uncle Danes, that are good at handling bots, but it’s also a big burden for them to constantly ban/remove cheating bots.

    Valve is testing server side AI cheat detection in CS2. Let’s hope that they will bring that to TF2 valve servers. Maybe don’t VAC ban players being detected (AI is buggy), just remove them when detected and maybe disallow them from joining valve servers for a week.
