Honestly, I don't believe save TF2 will get anywhere. Valve is clearly uninterested in supporting the game, and who could fault them? It's an old game, and games don't need to be supported just because people play them.

The real problem Valve is playing with is that TF2 is still monetized. They should not be selling microtransactions for a game this broken. If they weren't selling microtransactions, they would be entirely in their right to kill all official support and leave the game to community servers.

My main concern is that Valve will calculate this over the bad PR they're receiving, and rather than do anything to curb the bot problem, simply kill their support for TF2. I would be okay with this. I think most people wanting to #SaveTF2 won't be.

I wish they'd just open-source it. It'll keep falling off while they own it.

I can't imagine cheating being a huge problem I'm a game with only 5-10k players that doesn't have MTX. There's just no incentive there to buy cheats.

Maybe this is the fix they should do, rather than spend money developing a decent anticheat that they then also won't maintain. Cus money.
