Team Fortress 2 has been the game that got me into PC gaming all the way back in 2014. I was 12 and I made this account with my dad the day that Scream Fortress VI dropped. I remember my first game of quickplay being on cp_standin, and that my first ever weapon drop was a Backscatter.

This game was my go-to game for years, and I still return to it every once in a while. I will always hold Team Fortress 2 near and dear to my heart. And that is why it breaks said heart, to see the state of the game in 2024. The game is borderline unplayable for most of the time when "playing" on Valve official matchmaking servers due to the insane amount of bots riddling every single server you try to join. Bots cheat, hurl slurs, vote to kick non-bots, etc. to the point where finding a game with no bots whatsoever is near impossible.

And yet, Valve stands idly by. Not only that, but they have the audacity to release new cosmetic cases for profit, while the game that the items are for is unplayable.

I sincerely hope you'll do something about this, Valve.
Get your ♥♥♥♥ together.
