This year, Team Fortress 2 will hit 17 years, but they are still actively playing it. Unfortunately, in recent years, the community has been fighting a serious problem: the game has flooded bots. To (once again) to attract attention Valve, Fans hold a special action today.
The promotion is located on the Save website.TF ("Save TF"). The essence is simple:
Posts should contain enhanced emphasis on the problem with bots. How to put an emphasis – everyone’s business: you can attach a video, meme, picture, screenshot or personal stories.
A similar action took place in 2022. Then one of the participants even arranged a single picket near the office Valve.
Recall, bots in Team Fortress 2 so terrible that they make the game almost impossible: for example, they instantly kill real users or even throw them out of the server.
The organizers of the campaign also write that the bots include extremely unpleasant personalities who often fill the chat with the most vile curses, advertise their paid services on “bots immunity”, drain the personal data of those who they did not like, and even engage in real crimes-fake other people’s data (including votes through AI), conduct DDOS attacks and arrange “Swatting” (that is, arrange “Swating” (that is Call the police to the victim’s address).
One of the most striking signs of a bot in Team Fortress 2 – Sniper rifle lifted up vertically upwards.
Two years ago Valve stated that she hears community complaints Team Fortress 2 and is going to take measures. But since then no cardinal improvements have occurred. This is how the organizers of Save describe the situation.TF:
From the side it seems that Valve More worried about making millions every month on microtransactions than about supporting a product that should work as appropriate. You can’t say otherwise: Team Fortress 2 is in an unacceptable state, and the inability Valve at least something is simply horrified.
TF2 Do not need new content, do not need new microtransactions, do not need new types of weapons. TF2 It is necessary to eliminate the crisis with bots.
By the time the news is written, the Save signature meter.TF exceeded 122,000. In addition, the echoes of the action are visible on the page Team Fortress 2 In Steam: recent reviews fell to the level of “mixed” (68 %), a splash of negativity is clearly visible on the graphics, and in their texts people often write the very eloquent hashtags – #fixtf2 and #SaveTF2.

Antitish. Valvo. Developed.
"Image Valve", very funny. As a game developer, Valve even treat themselves with irony. Official announcements on Dota once scanty things in the spirit of “Yes, you really wanted ~ hero or patch or battles pass ~ as soon as possible, but you have to wait a little more”.
There is no image Valve. They bathe in the dough from Steam and get involved in a joke into random things, like VR (it seems not very successful) and Steam Deck (it seems to be very successful).
And no "large journalists" will do anything. From the fact that Henderson or Schreyer or someone else begins to grunt on Twitter, the shafts will not fall, because they have no promotions.
Valve – a classic meme with Ryan Gosling. If they want to fix TF2, they will fix it. If they do not want, then no one will ever force them.
They answered 2 years ago and since then has not been done
Both Sourcemod – Team Fortress 2 Classic and Open Fortress – have already returned back to the network when Valve began to freeze with an official exit in Steam, I will ask. And this is completely not what the vanilla TF2 represents (of is literally ordinary DM of kvaki with TF2 textures), and their creators are actively distanced from the original game. And this is not to mention the fact that their installation is a separate hassle, the result of which is not worth it.
The easiest way for a mass consumer, alas and ah, is just to download the game, press a couple of buttons and that’s all – you are on the official Valve server with spinning and buzzing snipers.
The smaller one can do the company that collects the lyama of bucks from this game on this game on only caps is to make its own owners of communities an adequate alternative to the matchmaking match, which broke a lot of systems, which is why it was so easy to fill it (there is even a thorough video from Thewhat Show for especially interested, which still revealed the truth about the owners of the bots, which Personed personal information and harah their opponents).
And this case is not the third version of the antithee? it would be “very Simpylichny, very Pa Valvavsk
The main thing is this action should be an active constant pressure on the “valves” until they get rid of bots, a couple of news headlines that will exhibit the company in bad light, as it was a long time ago, when they chopped off at least some voice of Free-2-Play-players.
The main problems of past companies (it was the second same company last year, but it was completely local) just the lack of clear goals and our softness, which is why one literally a person added a little content and everything returned to what we started.
There are also more sensible leaders of the movement among YouTubeers, like Shounic and MegaCluterbomb (the latter owners of the bots just experienced all the jokes from the news, including the cops who came to the challenge of the embedded bomb), which are known precisely by their sprains in the TF2 code – look from this too.
As a player in Team Fortress 2 (to.ABOUT.), Dota 2 (and everything is also bad there), LEFT 4 DeAD 2 (“Dead Game”), and knowing the behavior of “valves” (like other developers and publishers), I look at such players and say: “A miserable sight”. And that’s why:
– Valve does not take a conservative position, but “the game works – then do not touch” and stubbornly keep silence. And they will store.
– From this reason, one more follows: what kind of powerful screams of the players were not, the developers will still not hear them because they are sitting in vacuum. Even if the action would be supported by a million players, then either nothing will change, or “we hear the complaints of the community” and still nothing will change.
– Most supporting the action only support, but do not take an active part in games. Just hung one or two tags and that’s it.
What I suggest:
1. Score a bolt and go to the community server. NUFF SAID.
2. Attract large journalists. If they talk about the problem of the current Team Fortress 2, then the developers will most likely hear the screams of players through major players.
3. Boycott the studio. This means not only a decrease in activity in games from Valve, but also a decrease in the reputation of the studio itself and many others. It is unrealistic to perform de facto, but if it turns out, then the image of the studio will spoil if not forever, then for a very long time.
