DOTA 2, along with CSGO, is a very popular game for Russians, and Peruvians are also very into DOTA as well. The big selling point of the game, is that the entire hero roster is free-to-play, compared to how other MOBAs (and other free-to-play games in general) require that you grind for currency, or bust out your credit card, to get them.

Alongside being F2P - DOTA and CS 1.6 (both pirated, obviously) were the CODs and Halos of the slav gaming scene. Basically everyone played those (alongside something like HOMM 3), so naturally their successors pulled the less imaginative ones in.

As for TF2 - any "Big Update Guyssssss!!!!" will be a shadow of what we had in the past. In the current state (balance wise, not the whole bots shitfest) the game is better than it theoretically could've been (if either some nerfs didn't happen, like with the Danger Shield, or if the compfuckers got their claws into the next update and killed all the fun gimmicks there were), and it's not bound to change. Valve's internal policy combined with TF2's ancient code and retarded community makes in unlikely for anyone to step up and take it upon themselves to iron out the kinks (even the more recent ones, like Steam inventory and trading systems just shitting themselves when working with TF2). And while there are good ideas how to fix everything - those are only speculations, nothing more. I personally love this game, but I also think that it's time for everyone to realise that the TF2 of the previous decade is gone. Not physically - you can still play (and more power to you if you still can get some enjoyement out of it), but it's just not going to be the same. Casual has the bots, community servers are either half-active or had their balls cut off by spastics like Uncle Dane with their sterile approach to game design, and the community itself is filled with whiny redditors (and even more obnoxious TF2tubers), leech-like traders and the leftover degens that didn't spread to other games. The true and honest TF2 autist is in the minority now.
I'll cut myself short and just say that the good old times are never coming back, no matter the size of the update. We can discuss what was and what might've happened, but that's about it. Thanks, and have fun.
 
TF2, as we know it, has been in a complete awkward state. Between the awful community and especially no update, even with the announcement of it has been bait.
 
So.. :optimistic:, I know, but what if all the hype and positive attention about their (retracted) update announcement shows them that there's a real demand and financial incentive to update tf2.
They KNOW the fans are willing to pay anything to buy stuff in the game, and they would be praised like gods if they released a single major update. It would do nothing but good for them.

Realistically I know it's over but I really don't want it to be...
 
Well, it was fun while it lasted. I'll say that.

It's not that great mate, it looks like something I'd see a kid watching on television, just spazzing cartoon characters and flashing colours.

Man-children only care about it because he died, I'd turn in my fucking grave if I was only remembered for throwing ragdolls about in GMOD. It's embarrassing.

Guy was ridiculously talented for his age and made some of the best and most complex videos of his time. It might not be for everyone and can appear silly at first but the guy was anything but. He was ridiculously intelligent and hardworking animator that paved the way for so many othe Gmodders and content creators in a different and more colourful time of YouTube before algorithms and E celebs dominated the platform. Guy was a living legend and died way too young, get fucked.

Of all the faggy youtubers in the TF2 community, I do find it funny that only one of them shills for the Enforcer. There's no point in using the Ambassador almost if you can two shot most things anyways.

Even an attempt at being witty at this point is still appreciated. I can't imagine a lot of the old team are there anymore. At least they're finally attempting to properly ship something instead of letting the game run dormant. I have hope, even if it's slim.

I miss the amazing writing for the blog posts, they were always really tongue in cheek and filled with funny and irreverent humour taking the piss out of the community but In a charming non snarmy or mean way. The fact that they even abandoned the TF2 comics in early 2017 says a lot about the writing department’s quality more than anything else. If you haven’t ever read them I urge you they are some of the funniest and most consistently brilliant game comics I’ve ever read, really fleshing out the lore, hilarious dialogue and making a compelling story to the comedic and darkly satirical world of TF2. And there completely free.

Yeah it's a damn shame they've never finished the comics, I really liked those. At this point it will be concluded after they release Half-Life 3. :(
 

Not TF2 related but I just found this and thought its rather eerie. Valve used a real live corpse in one of its corpse model textures. Quite dark games design practise honestly doesn't surprise me why they have such shitty relationship rewarding fans, who knows what other shit they have going on.
