This game means so much to so many people, more people than valve could even imagine. With the amount of love from the community towards this game you'd think valve would put even half the amount of care into it, but they don't.

Valve profits greatly from this game with no input. Meaning that they have no incentive to fix a several year issue because that said issue is also giving them money..... the bots.

The people hosting these bots have a strangle hold on this game. They have threatened peoples lives and committed serious crimes against people in the community all while valve has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to solve that issue or punish these bot hosters.

Valve needs to fix this problem. Peoples lives have actually been at stake because of their negligence towards this "easy money maker". its only a matter of time till there is a massive lawsuit because of it.

Until the bot problem is fixed I would never recommend ANYBODY put their hard earned money into this game let alone any valve made title. Please note that I dont mean stop playing the game but let your voice be heard and show you aren't going to be complacent with this bot problem.
