Valve Software is one of the greatest gaming companies of all time,
yet at times it seems that they couldn't be less bothered to keep a
game they actively profit from in a playable state.
For the past 5+ years, Team Fortress 2 has been the victim of
bots
that join servers to spam extreme hate speech, use
aim-bot
to headshot anyone in sight, and even kick real players!
This has gone on long enough.
Let's make them save & fix Team Fortress 2!
Team Fortress 2 (TF2) is a gem of a game released in the
good old days of 2007, it features 9 unique mercenaries with
tens of thousands of possible weapon loadouts for each of
them!
It popularised hero shooters and free-to-play, while also
inventing the Payload mode, emotes and cartoony artstyle
seen in many games like Fortnite!
(and lootboxes... not too proud of that one!)
Without Team Fortress 2, games such as Overwatch and
Valorant would likely never have existed!
While Mann vs Machine (TF2's PvE mode) has you facing
against robots, some malicious players decided they'd like
to abuse their coding "skills" to ruin the game for
thousands of players!
How bad is it? Well, it's been estimated that over 50% of
all players reported on Steam are actually just bots of some
kind!
Team Fortress 2's anti-cheat is incompetent at best.
When the enemy sniper is staring at the sky while spinning
rapidly, firing headshots every time you walk outside your
spawn... let's just say something's not entirely right.
As it stands right now, the game is downright unplayable at
times, and we want it fixed.
You might've noticed we already ran a campaign like this
back in 2022, weren't we all so young and innocent back
then?
This campaign is the second of it's kind, because despite
Valve saying they'd
work to fix the issue, little to nothing was done and the bots are worse than
ever. Watch the video below for info on why we're doing this
again.
