Ram and SSD prices are skyrocketing and that happened the week after they announced it (for early 2026 btw, so we still a month or two before release.)
You are beyond retarded if you think valve or anyone for that matter are only now buying the materials for their shitboxes, price inflation only affects future steamboxes unless valve decides to pull a sony/nintendo and cry about blumpft or something else while raising the price of shit that is rotting in the warehouses

I want you to think for a second how this business decision sounds and i want you to realize you are retarded and should never run a company.

"You know that thing thats going to jack the price of our machine up 6 months after launch by 30-40% and make us look bad AND going to make the product too expensive to justify purchasing? Fuck it, don't care, just release it anyways without a thought to delay it to hopefully build more stock to carry us through the problem. That would be stupid of us."
 
CS2 is getting better slowy even if Valve fumbled and released it a year too early.
It has been two years and people are still falsely getting banned by VAC while cheaters still do whatever they want. This game would be 100% dead by now if it wasn't for the skin economy and money laundering associated with it
 
There is a clipdump of FishOnAStick being a retard on his livestream:

Here are the highlights:

6:32 he states that pipeline was never popular and nobody wants to play it

16:33 he goes on a strawman-laced 20 minute long rant about anything quickplay related and this is pretty much what he says:

#BringBackQuickplay is a grift​
Quickplay was bad (doesn't say why)​
People who want quickplay never experienced it and don't even know what quickplay is​
Casual should be fixed (all the changes he proposes come with quickplay)​
I didn't watch Zesty's 4H video (he doesn't care)​
Stop harassing Jill, Eric and Valve​
I want to have an actual discussion (he will never join Zesty in a voice call)​
SaveTF2 was good​
Valve is holding a grudge for their players being mean and that's why they don't communicate​
#BringBackQuickplay is bad because it doesn't explain why quickplay was better​
People like casual because of the party system and selecting maps (you can have both with quickplay)​
Zesty lives rent free in people's heads (not his of course)​
Zesty is a grifter because he just wants to take credit for "genuine, objective and provable improvement in TF2" (28:06)​
The bot crisis is and always will be the most important thing in TF2​
Complaining doesn't do anything and Zesty is a crybaby​
Zesty isn't the only person who talks about problems with TF2​

at 34:43 and 38:46 he calls people who think quickplay would fix steamrolls retarded and that quickplay also had unbalanced games, 2 seconds later he complains that his entire team ragequit and the server died

The rest of the video is him sperging at spy mains, his teammates and pretty much everything else that gets him killed (he's just bad) with the whole thing cumulating at 43:15 when he screams at the top of his lungs and cusses at his mother because a F2P spy sapped a teleporter at his spawn
 
i really don't care about quickplay and idk why people get so butthurt over it. i'd prefer it to the current party/queue system since it was faster but the current system isn't that bad, i can still find a game within 5-10 seconds most of the time. what's all the sperging about again?

current system (casual) is a piece of shit held together by glue and opinions and since you're a retard nigger that needs it reminded, here's what this current system offers
  1. games that average to less than 5 minutes because as soon a team wins enough times everyone's thrown to the map selection screen (which also resets the server EVEN if the same map is chosen) and needs to slowly wait for players to rejoin since they rightfully fuck off to nevermore when it appears
  2. a matchmaking system that creates stomps since it fills slots even when they're empty (and no, players don't get autobalanced since it doesn't fucking work either), and if something happens to the players while they're loading in then it takes a few minutes before a new player can join in
  3. which in turn created the complete removal of spectator and team switching, you will play on one team and you will enjoy it
  4. and different gamemodes/maps such as hydro, pipeline and nightfall are forgotten about and without servers since the matchmaker either breaks maps like hydro, or it incites people to play on the maps where games last the longest (payload and ctf basically)
and there's more, but the song is still the same and if you've got no problems with it then you're either lying, not playing or as again a retard nigger ape that doesn't even know how tf2's supposed to be played

less than 10% of the games i play are total curbstomps, most of them are even matches. when the game ends i requeue and find another game, so what? everybody else does the same and that 10 seconds out of my life. if there was someone in the game i really liked i can add them as a friend from the recent players menu.

again, very few games i play are absolute stomps. if i am stomping i will enjoy it, if not i will requeue and join another game within 10 seconds. i don't treat the game as srs bsns like some people, even if a game i'm in is going nowhere i'll still play it. i really don't care about winning or losing, i'll just play as much as i can and fuck with the other team as hard as i can because i find that fun
which in turn created the complete removal of spectator and team switching, you will play on one team and you will enjoy it
i will give you this because i missing being allowed to join the other team to help them if i feel bad about pushing their shit in
and different gamemodes/maps such as hydro, pipeline and nightfall are forgotten about and without servers since the matchmaker either breaks the maps like hydro, or it incites people to play on the maps where games last the longest (payload and ctf basically)
i've played plenty of games on these maps and had zero issues finding games with them, people don't play them because they're shitty gamemodes and will only join if they're in a shitpost mood. PLR is over in a few minutes and not fun to play on for any extended period of time and hydro is just a shitpost at this point because it doesn't work.

you've basically outed yourself, let me tell you how before this matchmaker (ergo the quickplay era), you weren't FORCED to switch servers to play a new game, you could just STAY in the server in question to play that map in question for however long you wished to do so, and even by then if you wanted to change map, you didn't have to wait the magic gates, you either waited for the round timer to run out or you casted a vote which allowed for all maps to be chosen, you didn't have to do this cycle of leave-join-leave-join
again, very few games i play are absolute stomps. if i am stomping i will enjoy it, if not i will requeue and join another game within 10 seconds. i don't treat the game as srs bsns like some people, even if a game i'm in is going nowhere i'll still play it. i really don't care about winning or losing, i'll just play as much as i can and fuck with the other team as hard as i can because i find that fun
if we skip the non-argument of your anectodes, congratulations you're a stupid nigger!
the point of stomps is that they make the game boring for the side that deals them and complete and utter cancer for the side that recieves them, and the side that takes it can just leave and exacerbate the existing problem, especially since scrambling teams is an option that is loooooong gone (something i'm positive you've got no idea since you do this niggerbabbling), all that remains is to leave and doom the current game into dying since nobody wants to stay for a stomp
i've played plenty of games on these maps and had zero issues finding games with them
tangible bullshit since there's an entire channel that spends hours to find pipeline games, so you're free to tell me how many PLR games you've actually had found
people don't play them because they're shitty gamemodes and will only join if they're in a shitpost mood
clearly bullshit if you've had actually bothered to play in the period in question
all of those maps were incredibly popular, but shockingly and not under your fucked up tourist perspective, people now don't play 5cp, koth, special deliver, and PLR not because they're le dogshit gamemodes, but because the system fucks these gamemodes up into being unplayable, please find me games that last more than 6 or 9 minutes if they're so ever common
PLR is over in a few minutes and not fun to play on for any extended period of time
clearly bullshit since there's a few servers that play them for extended periods of time, and people have a blast on them because god forbid, they're alternative gamemodes that are the classic fun of this game
hydro is just a shitpost at this point because it doesn't work.
and why do tell has it stopped working?
could it be for this system that broke it and made it unplayable?
it's almost like before this system happened, people were not only willing to play on this map, but actually capable since the map did not fucking break when opened

or for a tldr, you're a tourist and you shouldn't make any pretenses of being anything more than this, this system has had irreparably fucked this game up since its inception and valve didn't do anything over it out of laziness

You should've mentioned that it starts by him giving money to Valve and advertising their gambling economy. This guy represents everything holding back TF2. If these fucks would just STOP GIVING VALVE MONEY Quickplay would be back in time for a summer update.

The metagame of making trannies and assorted retards mad in allchat by any means necessary is way more entertaining than the game itself sorry
 
According to the Kritzkast, Valve is terminating the ability to award players with medals and badges for events. According to event managers, awarding players these things is literally Valve just clicking ‘ok’ on a list they send them.

The multimillion dollar company literally cannot muster the energy to click a button anymore. A seal has been broken.

that's not it, long and short of it medals were sold* to tf2easy with this event and it was the deal breaker
you may thank brazilians for it
*the sponsored team would attach their names to get the medals in question basically

Watch this video to get a full explanation


To summarize if you don't want to watch a 4 hour video essay...
Quickplay (the non-matchmaker that came before Casual) INSTANTLY (within 10 seconds) placed you in a server and you stayed on the server for as long as you wanted until the map switches after a vote (normally every 45 minutes). Everyone did not leave at once after 2-3 matches unlike now; people came and went as they pleased. Matches were also quite balanced as after a stomp, teams would be scrambled, meaning teams are far more likely to be balanced in the long run. Valve abandoned this perfectly suitable system to not only "modernize" TF2 but make it a more competitive game and it failed. People left en masse (because you couldn't play the game for more than twenty minutes without waiting in a long queue (which could last for hours at Casual's launch) and we now are now left in the ruins of a once great game.\

ALSO

Here is another FishOnAStick clip dump posted by the same guy that did the other clip dump posted by @777-


This one has the worst moment of the lot as it contains a fight with his mom, with him saying to his internet friends how he hates his mom. It must not only be disappointing but scary for the mother if that is how your twenty-something son treats you when you ask him to stop yelling when he plays video games.

TF2 has the worst case of this, because its entire community has adopted the mantra of “be happy with what you’ve got!”. That’s why so many people defend casual mode and the utterly broken state of the game in the face of mountains of evidence that the game is basically unplayable and that casual mode has been a failure for almost a decade.
The current day TF2 Community feels like it has some sort of battered-wife syndrome. People will (rightfully) complain that Valve left this game in a broken state after they realized trying to "modernize" TF2 was a fools errand and then fucked off to Dota 2 and CSGO where they could milk the fuck out of e-sports prizepools, battlepasses and skins/items (and also the gambling rings for that).
The same Valve, who continues to monetize this game, being held at a bare minimum standard to just fix the game they continue to offer as a Live-Service so it can properly be enjoyed by the playerbase in the post-golden age era it is in. Unfortunately suggesting these things will get you the Valve Drone Defense Force who proceeds to list every problem with the current system and then goes "Yup, that's just how the game is now! Just Accept it (or leave)!" We just gotta be happy that Valve left us a dilapidated half-built shack to live out of and asking for them to come back and fix at least a quarter of what they broke in pursuit of profit is  wrong. Absolutely insane.

Complaining doesn't do anything and Zesty is a crybaby
Complaining clearly never worked for TF2. In fact, we should've never complained about the "Bot Crisis" because Valve was never ever going to fix it and if you didn't like it? Just go to Community servers like TroonTopia (or leave and play another game) instead of complaining.
