Welcome to my latest video discussing the current state of Team Fortress 2 (TF2) and Valve's ongoing neglect of this beloved game. It’s been two years since Valve’s infamous tweet, and unfortunately, nothing has improved. In fact, the situation for casual players has deteriorated further. The FixTF2 movement is gaining traction, but on the Team Fortress 2 store page on Steam, reviews have plummeted to an overwhelmingly negative status. This is a stark indication of how deeply the community feels Valve’s neglect.
Valve, a highly profitable and influential company in the gaming industry, has surprisingly allowed TF2 to regress. This is the same company known for its excellent public image and innovative games. It’s unbelievable that they have let TF2 fall into such a state of disrepair. However, TF2 is not the only game suffering from Valve's lack of attention. Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) has also been a significant disappointment. The game, which many believed would be Valve’s next big project, has faced severe issues with cheating and playability.
When Counter-Strike 2 was announced, I thought, "Okay, Valve is focusing on this new project, which explains why TF2 has been sidelined." But upon its release, it was clear that CS2 was not the success many had hoped for. Cheating is rampant, especially in the competitive mode, Premier. Even after eight months, many players feel that CS2 has not surpassed its predecessor, Global Offensive, in terms of quality and playability.
The neglect is not isolated to just TF2 and CS2. Dota 2, another flagship game by Valve, is plagued with smurfs. From my personal experience, smurfing in Dota 2 can be just as disruptive as cheating, even if it is technically not the same. Valve’s attempts to crack down on smurfing have been largely ineffective, further damaging the game’s community and playability.
This pattern of neglect across Valve’s top games-TF2, CS2, and Dota 2-creates a concerning narrative. As a consumer, I am now hesitant to invest time or money into new Valve games. The lack of trust in Valve’s ability to manage cheating and maintain long-term support is alarming. Deadlock, Valve’s newest experiment, is a 6v6 shooter and MOBA. But as a dedicated TF2 player, why would I consider playing it knowing it might be overrun by cheaters from the get-go?
This is where the FixTF2 movement becomes crucial. Valve’s reputation is built on producing innovative, groundbreaking games. But recent years have shown a decline in their multiplayer game quality. FixTF2 aims to highlight this issue and push for change. Negative media coverage, financial boycotts, and public pressure are essential tools in this movement. By refusing to buy crates and keys, the community can financially pressure Valve to take action.
I believe that if Valve made even a single significant effort to remove the bots from casual TF2 games, it would make a huge difference. It would show that they are listening to their community and are committed to improving the game. So, I urge everyone to stay involved with the FixTF2 movement. Sign the petition, speak with your wallet, and stop supporting Valve’s neglectful practices until they address these issues.
I’ve been away for a while, focusing on work and other games, but I have several videos lined up, including more content related to the FixTF2 movement. I want to show my support for TF2 and its community. However, if the FixTF2 movement does not succeed, I may consider moving away from TF2 content. Many of your favorite content creators might do the same if Valve does not respond to our demands.
To keep this incredible game active for another decade, we need to work together. We must show Valve that it is more profitable to fix TF2 than to ignore it and suffer the reputational and financial consequences. Thank you for watching, and as always, take care.
Be sure to check out Zeyo’s video “Finding a Bot-Free Server Any% Speedrun TF2” and Joleksu’s “Counter Strike 2 Hitbox Demonstration” for more insights into the challenges facing TF2 and other Valve games.
Stay tuned for more updates, and keep pushing for a better future for Team Fortress 2. #FixTF2

FixTF2 - Valve's Neglect of Team Fortress 2 #fixtf2
Valve is like a toddler getting a new toy, playing with it for a few weeks and then instantly forgetting about it as soon as they get a new toy...
True
Actually described to perfection a normal day in a valve office, let me add a little bit of dialogue so you can understand how stupid it is.
Worker 1: Today i will work in a new project.
worker 2: starts working in something else.
worker 1: Yooo, worker 2 what are you doing?
worker 2: oh, glad you ask, you see this proyect is about *valve yap*
worker 1: Cool, can i join?
worker 2: werent you working on something.
worker 1: nah.
worker 1 joined worker 2 proyect, leaving his original project behind to either procrastinate it for a couple years or totally dumping it, then the worker 1 and 2 see the project of worker 3 and the cycle goes on and on till they stop for x or y reason
@@mantraki ya probably this what happens in the valve office
A "few weeks" is an understatement. They really could stop supporting TF2, but they just can't leave it in the state that it is in. They got two ways to leave the game fine, either remove the bots via anti-cheats, or just turn off Casual servers and bring back Quickplay to give life back to community servers who can moderate against them.
I'd pick the latter, Casual is horrible and it's what killed TF2 in terms of updates.
coughcough hirez cough
The fact that valve is working on another "competitive" multiplayer game while their current games are plagued by cheating goes to show how out of touch the decision makers at the company have become. Nobody is going to want to play a game that is doomed to the same fate as their old IPs within a few months or even weeks.
Anti-cheat is an incredibly complicated issue, but valve has the resources to at least make an attempt to fix the issue (it would certainly help with their public image). I seriously doubt valve cares about the revenue earned from tf2 since it is such a small drop in the bucket compared to their other earnings, but I would be willing to bet they care that their image is being dragged through the mud.
Plus, how on Earth will people have faith in future multiplayer games if they're only gonna be flooded with bots, cheaters, and shady individuals who break federal laws?
like all they say "we dont wanna get into a treadmill fight" every time someone brings up the anticheat problem, and i get it, fair point but getting into a treadmill fight with the cheaters is still better then letting them run free, like they have billions and they cant hire a team to work on vac full time? like fr if they just hired a team dedicated on VAC then all valve mp games would be fixed
They aren't out of touch - you are. They see clearly that the cheating situation doesn't negatively impact the player numbers (or their income), so they don't have to invest too much resources into it. Besides, for those who wish to sacrifice their privacy for the sake of encountering less cheaters (but not zero), third party matchmakers exist, like Faceit.
@@ForOne81470% of players are idlebots, so it does impact actual player numbers.
@@LordVader1094 not negatively.
I like the idea of CZcamsrs leaving TF2 if fixtf2 doesn't work. Not the CZcamsrs leaving but the image it will give valve as a whole.

Awh thanks!!
@@lunaa1684Where can we find your stuff? I wanna use the thumbnail as my desktop wallpaper but I don't see any links for you in the video description.

Keep spreading the word. If Valve is not going to give their multiplayer games the support they need then people should be aware of it.

I made this sort of comment before and I will make it again. I have serious doubts to Valve's willingness to do anything but at the most say something. No matter how bad the reviews get, no matter what trends on twitter and no matter how many people sign a petition. Valve is good at making games but they have always been terrible at running them and I find it incredibly unlikely there will ever be a solution.
The only chance we have is to make it effect their bottom line. Valve is a company like any other and has become complacent in the idea that TF2 is just the passive money maker.
as someone whose first experience on pc was hl2 and falling in love with valve and their games it really is sad to see this fall from grace, but hopefully they can "grab a ledge" and stop their fall
I am Pyro. #FixTF2. I became real just for this.
Valve doesn’t want to do ‘treadmill work’ but they’re happy to buy a new pair of expensive Jordan’s (Deadlock).
Thats actually such a good thumbnail
Bro i love your videos, you made me a pyro main and the game is so boring right now with the cheater,bots and racists,but I am playing just for be good like you. Im waiting for the defensive playstyle video
Thank you for making this video! ❤ #FixTF2
I'm frustrated, angry and sad as you are. But it's time to let it go. I know it hurts to see something you love so much, something you've put effort into, something you passionately care and love is now merely as husk, one of the greatest multiplayer game, is now a wasteland filled with machines. I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do.
I want them to get rid of casual and go back to quick play. It wasnt perfect, but it was more fun and it kept the bots at bay.
Rick May didn't die for this game loved by millions to be abaondoned by valve for a decade.
I will never play this game until valve does something for once, ever since the bot crisis i barley play tf2 anymore but man i wish valve would fix this game.
I feel like the mean reason that fixtf2 can win is because people's general views on valve would sink, and there are more and more companies with their own shops day by day, already a lot of people own epic games shop [and fortnight is the most selling game afaik if that doesn't say something]
best we could hope for is if people started to pirate more nad use non-valve shops [considering buckshot rulette became popular while being on itchio, minecraft has never been on steam, and theres many other games that aren't on steam but are popular, valve does have competition]
I just can’t believe that Valve would neglect a game that’s 20 years old.
I don’t care what people say. TF2 is too great a game to be left behind and forgotten, and even if it is time to stop supporting it with new updates, the least Valve can do is fix the goddamn anti-cheat. #FixTF2
#FixTF2
Fucking sick pyro plays
Such as shame that the reality is that Valve seems to not care because the revenue TF2 generates is only a fraction of what their online store generates through sales and the tax they claim for community market transactions.
Cool siege reference in the thumbnail.
Masterpiece game unlike tf2
Valve > Bots with cheats ✖️
Vote kicking > Bots with cheats ✔️
TF2 is my favourite game, so I really hope #FixTF2 works, and I think it will as VAC also sucks in CS2 like you said and CS2 is a huge source of revenue for them.
Also I got much better at Pyro because of you and I wanna say thanks:D (also also will you cever the airblast rework? they changed it in the 64x uodate)
Thanks for the heart :D
My favourite pyroboi finally uploaded!
To be honest, i can understand Valve somehow. I mean they created steam, the bigges game sales platform in gaming. they make 4 billion a year roughly. Its a very good passive income. I hope they use some of the money to fix thier online games
This thumbnail is a cinematic masterpiece
Ever since Steam became an infinite money generator for Valve they have been getting worse and worse. #fixtf2
He Returns... Finallu
Is there a way to deal with the Dragons Fury Flash besides pyro vision?
In my opinion Valve is becoming Gamefam.
Can you do a guide for getting Axetingusher crits thats on the ground, in the air with detinator and jetpack, and with airblast to help.
Just disable all sniper rifles?
or just the headshots?
Can you do a guide for how to play Pyro at higher ping and how to train for it?
General reminder to fix your subtitles -w- you're a bit quiet for me and I turned on subtitles, but there's a few sections that have an extended section of incorrect subtitles
Looks like some missing words (and in some cases sentences) and some retiming is all that's necessary
(I am well aware that subtitling takes a really long time; I appreciate your effort to at least add *some* subtitles)
Cheers future videos will be at least 2.5x louder than this one, and I tried CZcams's autosync feature (syncing script to audio) but looks like it's bad lol. Thanks for feedback appreciate it
@@Pirateer5 All good; I appreciate the effort you put in regardless. I know firsthand that subtitling even a 20 minute video can take multiple days
Rainbow 6 seige looking ah thumbnail
Figured I'd let you know, but your sound is a bit quiet. Other than that, good video.
Left 4 Dead 2 has been facing tons of DDos attacks for more than half a year now. Hell, most dedicated servers are almost non-existent because of it.
So yeah, Valve and their games are now on downward spiral that they continually ignore. The fact that it was leaked that they're making a new game in light of the ongoing issue is like a slap on the face to their games' playerbase.
This puts a smile on my face. I hope after TF2 is officially dead, L4D2 will be next. And who knows... maybe CSGO will face the same fate.
L4d2>tf2
@trickstabber8117 "Yea, our game is unplayable, so yours shouldn't be either. even though you literally have nothing to do with tf2 or valve."
@@user-ym6os8kp2s What are you smoking? I'm going to celebrate either outcome.
@trickstabber8117 "Your game should be plagued with bots for literally no reason"
Valve just love to destroy all their game
But they should shut down tf2

Can you do a Dragons Fury specific guide?
we hope valve fix the game
I assume they would remake the game or make a sequel before they ever fix it
Remake? are u dumb? Just kill tf2
THE PYRO KING HAS RETURNED
All this because Valve is too lazy to do "treadmill work"
Mate, I'm finna be real with you, my computer and YT are both at max volume and yet I can barely hear you.
Dont worry a real australian would not leave his mate behind 😉
Love the R6 thumbnail
Better game than tf2

You back ?
Valve is great at making games but horrible at maintaining them.
JUST LET THE GAME DIE ALREDY.
Lmao, valve nuked smurfing in dota a long time ago. Quality research there, m8.
I played 3 games as a fresh account 2 months ago and got smurfed on by brand new accounts 2 out of 3 games, 3rd game smurf was on my team
@@Pirateer5 So, you were matched against stronger opponents in unranked game. Who fucking cares?

Yes, they don't give a damn about a 17-year-old game. Now stop crying and start playing something else. Is that so hard?
#fixtf2
Sasssssss
Speak up.
Why everyone didn't even watch shounic video about bots?
Cause tf2 fan are dumber than a brick
Cry more 😂 RIP TF2 😂 RIP BOZO 😂
the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting something to change. savetf2s failure wasnt a lack of direction, it was simply ineffective as a method to get the game fixed.
there is only one way to actually fixtf2, make a community matchmaking service akin to faceit. nagging valve for updates will never work because at best we will get a few security patches that keep the bot population down for a matter of months until the bad press blows over and the bot hosters adapt. we need an anticheat and matchmaking upkept by people who actually pay attention to the playerbases concerns, which if cs2's cheating problem is anything to go by (valves most profitable game currently btw) will *never* be offered by valve
Idk why this is getting so much attention. This is a natural stage for most old games. Game gets forgotten about by the developers, game gets bots/toxic community. Sure, it's sad, but it happens to so many old game titles that people shouldn't be surprised anymore.
The hashtag isn't even working. you're giving the people who use the bots what they want, attention. People already knew that valve didn't care about the game. So why do you expect them to care now? All this "fixtf" situation is doing is annoying people who play other games, giving the people who bot attention, and giving content creators a fat stack of money.
“I don’t really care too much about this subject so why even care lmao?”
@BitTheByte can't even give your opinion on a situation in detroit
Minecraft has been around for 15 years straight. What excuse does Valve have for TF2?
@furociousarts simple, valve wants to make money. Tf2 doesn't make as much money as a newer, more popular project like cs2. That's why there putting all there effort in cs2 and not tf2. Maybe in 1/2 years, the bots will be gone, but not anytime recent. Who knows, maybe tomorrow they'll fix the bots and I will look like a big idiot, who knows
I think it's getting a lot of attention because Valve hasn't simply abandoned TF2. As in, every year, thrice a year, they release a pack of new maps and, more importantly, cosmetic items for their microtransaction systems.
As in, Valve clearly wants to keep raking in cash from TF2 while not doing any actual work.
Tf2 will never get fixed grow up lol.
