@@ZestyJesus the idle bot hosters feeling that this might be the end, throwing all their bots in maximum overdrive to make the last bit of money left before getting banned ?

My guess is that the current growth is either mostly or at minimum 50% real players. While people returning due to the bots leaving is a possibility, idlers could be adding more bots to attempt to steal any secret Saxton/gift a pults during this time of cheer.

I can’t watch your videos anymore because you don’t sound zesty

Idle bots are hardest to touch because you cannot take everyone into account and can negatively impact an idle-ing service. This is why those might be almost impossible to ban and may never will. Now to address one thing from the video: probable reason. Money is not the only reason they responded after all. It's a PR nightmare if they wake up with as you said 'the first game to include cosmetics for micro-transactions' to be killed instantly or not cared for. Whether they like it or not they have to allocate resources to TF2 in order to sustain their credibility. This in a sense is why they should now focus on CS2 for the time being as it is a big problem for that community too! Enjoy this long comment. Life is lovely btw, live it

You are in full right to complain and to be pessimstic, Valve is gonna not do jack shit we should deffintly boycott the summer update no questions just becaused they fixed the game, **for now** dosent mean we should pretend the last few years never happend.

Better yet, hope nobody buys the game. Boycott it, abstain from purchasing, whatever it needs to be called- don't buy games that make the player into the product.

Or they'll just walk away from it like they did Artifact and Underlords.

I’ve thought about this before

I genuinely believe they started working on a solution to the bot problem but ended up putting it on the indefinite backburner until fixtf2, when they realized that they really couldn't just shut up the tf2 playerbase with wacky gamemodes and new cases full of community shit that they never even made.

It doesn't make sense since with savetf2 they took ~4 weeks to respond. Meaning that they could've fix it 2 years ago. Probably at this time they thought:"maybe we should do something?"

exactly this. I am hoping this is a turning point and people stop going to bat for Valve every time someone delivers basic criticisms to them.

Not only TF2 but Steam as a whole.

Valve needs to keep the ball rolling or we ought to steam roll their balls

I feel like we won't have to be worried about the ball stopping from rolling. I hear this from tons of tf2 players in comments like these. They are all in the "cautiously optimistic" side where yes it's nice th bots are gone but we gotta be careful.

Apparently Zesty made a comment that was taken out of context by people, and unfortunately, it got enough traction to earn him a poor reputation in some circles. I may be mistaken, but the N-word may have been part of that comment, which was why it caught attention from lots of people to begin with.

It's just mentally ill people going by the slur I probably can't type, so just imagine I did because on any other platform that doesn't automatically deletes comments I definitely would

This doesn't actually revolve around money for me, but it does involve gambling.

When I realized that I had to force myself to stop playing the game, which was hard to do since there was still enjoyment in it for me

Gambling is mental illness, people who become gambling addicts are victims of the machines created and designed to trap them. A person who has become a gambling addict at certain point no longer gambles for the money but for the motion of gambling itself.

I mean they were the one who cut us off from the copium of the twitter post and made us aware tf2 was dying

The toxic positivity is still there mind you, kinda prevalent on twitter and, ughhh... Reddit. But otherwise it's been getting better. I mean, around winter update last time, a workshop creator tried to falsely accuse Zesty of being a pdf file, (because Zesty at some point played a gacha game) I confronted the bozo in dm's and he basically said that he does not even truly believe what he says and thinks it's "funny". Funny to accuse a real human being with a following of people who might be stupid enough to believe you that their favorite creator is a pdf file. Whoever was the person that had a quote that went like: "People are getting too comfortable with shitting on others and not getting punched for it" was a prophet, because this anonymity shit only keeps getting worse

im glad zesty isnt taking credit for anything because the reason savetf2 and fixtf2 are a mess is because of the focus on youtubers and that would still end up the case if he decided to become leader or something

I don't understand the mindset that the first fixtf2 movement didn't work. It got a response out of Valve and a huge number of changes that greatly helped the bot issue. It didnt FIX the game, but it enacted Valve to do something. Once again, the community made a big movement and once again Valve did something. We just have to wait and see if they'll continue to work on preventative measures. Why is everyone acting like this was a complete and total failure? Why is everyone acting like its our fault for not "protesting correctly" and harboring "false positivity?" The only thing this video is doing is fueling community infighting. Sure, boycotting will help push the message that we want change, but I think already pretty fucking clear to Valve that we want change. TL;DR, "False positivity" isn't the problem. Its the bots that are the problem. We don't need to turn on eachother.

​@tranquil3727 It enacted valve to pull a PR move and slap a bandaid, ban a couple cheaters, and continue the status quo because "big wholesome Volvo cares, guys! They want TF2 fixed as much as we do, just gotta be wholesome 100 chungus uwu". The reason the old SaveTF2 didn't work was because we (until the recent ban waves) were STILL suffering the same issues that we have been since Jungle Inferno dropped (really even before Jungle Inferno, valve servers had spinbots from day one of Meet your Match)

We might as well try.

They're gonna try every single method except not playing the game at all

This was always going to be the reality of the situation though. No matter how hard we protest, we cant really force valve into "working harder." All we can do is make our voices heard and hope Valve is able to find a solution. I don't really think its a matter of us not protesting loud enough or hard enough yknow?

Exactly

The fact that they literally had their own "csgo" update with the contracts and weapon skins, introducing an already existing feature in the game (strange weapons but now it's stat clock or whatever) and nobody saw this as a money-grabbing scam is beyond me.

It blows my mind that most people seemingly don't realize this about Valve. They popularized loot boxes and microtransactions, they hold a monopoly on selling PC games, they make millions per year from getting kids addicted to gambling, they've basically abandoned all of their game series, and yet people still treat them as "one of the good ones" of video game companies? They deserve no leniency here. I'm glad that big channels like this are talking about the problems with their games, and what needs to be done to deal with them.

On the game front? I only hear good things about Valve's earlier games, and rarely hear about anything good about their newer games. On the platform front? Valve is probably one of the most decent platforms for getting games, and definitely the most decent major platform for getting games. (Even more so for computer games) Nintendo keeps their games to themselves and their online service is apparently awful. Xbox is either dead or dying. PlayStation is owned by Sony, and security is a problem. I don't know what's going on with Epic Games, but they're owned by what looks to be a much greedier company than Valve. Otherwise it seems that they would normally be a decent competitor. Valve honestly runs steam pretty well on the consumer's end, and while I think that their cut from developers is a little high they definitely know how to keep their consumers at least somewhat happy. Plus extra features like the steam workshop (which I don't think I've seen any company even try to do besides Bethesda) and frequent sales make them better than their popular peers. Key word: popular There's probably a lot of smaller game hosting websites out there which could become real competitors to steam if they got popular and funded enough... But right now they aren't popular or funded. Honestly if one of them got big enough to rival steam then I think it would be positive for both websites due to them both having to innovate to better the other. Oh and on the Valve gaming stuff, I'd say they've become lazy and stagnant on that part, and are basically coasting off of the success of their website. But by no means is Valve THE original lootbox company. Loot boxes had been in western audiences for about a year before Valve introduced them to TF2. EA actually beat them to the punch with adding loot boxes to FIFA 09. Eastern audiences had "loot boxes" (they weren't called loot boxes, but were basically the same thing) way before the west too (MapleStory to name one game that had them). This isn't to say that Valve isn't one of the first western companies to add loot boxes to their games, but they definitely aren't the original. I think comparing Valve to EA is in bad faith, though. If you want a specific weapon or item then you can just buy it off of the marketplace without ever engaging in loot boxes (unless if it's a rare item (which are cosmetics) in which case you'll have to sell your house and all of your body parts to be able to afford it). With EA you're likely going to HAVE to engage with whatever loot box mechanics they stuffed into their games to either be on par or to actually be able to play the game. EA will nickel and dime you every step along their games, while Valve doesn't force you to spend that much extra money unless if you want to. TL;DR Valve's modern games suck but people like them for their website. Also comparing them to EA either oversells how greedy valve is or undersells how greedy EA is.

@@Helperbot-2000 Friend, millions upon millions of dollars is STILL millions upon millions, even if it may be less than billions.

But at the end of the day, $8-15million is still $8-15 million.

The amount of money isn't the point. Even if it's just a drop in the bucket, the more people that stop giving Valve money for a service that barely works, the better. Yes, we've seen fixes recently, but don't let the bare minimum placate you.

Also Weezy was mainly against boycotting and I don't see him working with TF2 VAs, Shork is not even the main leader he is just one of them.

@@Anakondrai from what I've seen from the first movement, shork was definitely very vocal on reddit, making sure he gets his point across that this is a peaceful protest. He is also pretty active on twitter, which is where a large chunk of the community resides. Also, Robin's tweets are saying that he wants the game to be fixed and not calling out Valve's shitty actions against their players, which is like the main point of the #FixTF2 movement. To make valve feel ashamed that they have left this game to rot, which will hopefully force them to remove the bots. but you don't see the VAs calling Valve greedy cunts. I severely doubt that Valve would have severed any sort of contract due to a fucking tweet saying that a VA loves TF2. But if the VAs started shit talking Valve about their neglect across all their games, then there's a case to be made about slander of their image and a potential termination of a contract. Lastly, Weezy's content is literally him playing MVM, which may I remind you requires money to play and have a chance to win prizes, which is glorified gambling, and he hasn't said that he plays Mann Up for footage. Makes sense that the gambling addict doesn't want to boycott. Also, mentioning Weezy in general doesn't help your case, since he said in his debate with Zesty that we could use the VAs of the game as tethers, which is very manipulative language if you ask me.

but the voice actors, or at least the most active ones like Robin Atkin and John Patrick, did participate in the movement though.

Shut up

New Mode:Players Vs BOTS

ostracizing does help though, especially when you can see Valve's bad consumer treatment across their other games - it is not a habit you should want to see. I agree it is not the main point of a boycott.

idk, I would say yes if it happened to fortnite but tf2 doesn't have that much influence. Also if they keep servers up for l4d, they won't shut down a game that makes money (whatever the amount is)

I think this is a true enough statement. I've been trying to educate myself recently on business practices, and I've just had a different way of looking at things as of late. I believe, IF, somehow, TF2 had to be shut down, it would create an absurd domino effect. The first thing I see happening is lawsuits. While these suits may not do a whole lot in terms of being valid or earning funds to players, what it does is set a precedent; win or lose, digital assets mean nothing in the long run. In time, I'd imagine companies will begin to see that microtransactions have ultimately resulted in only short-term profits, so, almost as a knee-jerk reaction, press about in-game items will be rampant. Investors are likely to panic, and a market crash would happen in the video game industry. As a result of this, people would perhaps look at a grander scale: if my digital items in a game aren't real, how much of my other downloads do I actually own? In fact, the sentiment around digital downloads of movies and shows, books, etc. already seems to have acquired this stigma about it. (I'm mainly referring to a bit of info about how, if Steam were to go offline or shut down, a large portion of most players' libraries goes with it. While this is unlikely right now, imagine TF2 shuts down and the games market goes with it. Why would Steam be kept around?) The point with this is that it would affect the technology market at that rate. Of course, this is all hypothetical, heresay, imagined scenarios, but who's to say that this wouldn't happen? In this same vein, imagine if consumers won their hypothetical lawsuits against Valve. This would trigger, as Zesty put it, a seismic shock of negative sentiment toward the digital market. And, again, this would in time bleed into the tech market as a whole. Thinking about this on such a scale really makes me wonder, however. How bad could something like this truly get? Obviously, I'm spitballing arguments, making up scenarios, and, overall, not really educated on this. But if I, a random dude across the internet, with only a small bit of knowhow and some thinking skills, am able to conjure up this sort of idea behind what would to a near-17-year-old game, where ~70% of its player count is botted activity, it really puts it into perspective; this really could be a huge event, fixTF2 that is. Counter-Strike could have had this happen some years down the line. Imagine the shockwaves then. If there's one bit I want a reader to take from this, it's this: Team Fortress 2, if it were to be treated like a bomb, seems to be ticking. Valve aren't demolitions experts, either. If this "bomb" were to blow, the metaphorical fallout could affect technology as a whole. Of course, I'm being dramatic. TF2 is funny 2007 hat game. But, at the very least, consider what could happen from treating a digital asset like it has value beyond the binary that makes it up. Anyway, I'm done, thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
