I've heard this several times over the last few years but isn't that still a huge playerbase for any game, let alone a nearly 20-year-old game? >its over, tf2 is dead, dead internet theory, zesty wins again, who cares, traders crash, etc etc whatever buzzwords TF2 could have like 1800 concurrent players and that would still be very impressive for a game like it. CoD4, a game from the same year, had a peak player count of about 600 today and that's high for games of that era. I don't even play TF2 but I find the amount of doomposting the community does despite being one of the most popular PC games odd.

Not really that surprising, I think this was sort of an open secret for anyone who knew anything about online gaming or played TF2. The most surprising thing to me is that Valve has allowed it to go on, but I guess their opinion on bots changed around the time they realized not fixing the problem made them more money. >running game on text-mode, Is that a thing? >>2066 >isn't that still a huge playerbase for any game, let alone a nearly 20-year-old game? It is, for a game that's almost 20 years old it's both got an astounding number of concurrent players and is somehow still relevant, managing to outlast and outperform new AAA releases by doing practically nothing. It's like its own little pocket dimension that refuses to change.

>>2066 >>2064 Its sad to see what we thought as huge numbers being artificially inflated, but these posts are right, 25k is a strong number for any game even after years of neglect. This shows while the neglect is real the game survives DESPITE valve giving up on it. Compare this to ubisoft games whose multiplayer are straight up deleted, this shows why self server hosting is the white man's way

>>2064 That's fucked up man, thank god for custom servers.

doesn't surprise me, economy is dead and the latest balance patches were shit. no real reason in playing unless you spent 4k in the game

>>2064 just let go man its over.

>>2066 MOAR

It wasn't until looking through my folders for anon's request did I notice a surprising amount of Pyro's female art depicts her as a black woman. Not that I care about that sort thing, I'm not Varg Vilkerkins. I wonder why that is. The deeper voice maybe?

>>2116 Maybe the huge t&a.

>>2113 >>2116 Danke

>>2119 >thanking me with a BlueAurora video Uhh I appreciate the gesture I guess

>>2064 So at the end, all of these Team Fortress offshoots won: >Gang Garrison 2 >TF2Classic >Team Fortress Classic (1999) >PreFortress <I think even Fortress Forever still gets traffic from time to time, despite the forums dying after calling out that the creators giving up and moved on. >>2079 >Jewbisoft Can you believe you can still find recent porn from Rainbow Six? or was it Tom & Clancy? (I fucking confuse both) I guess having bearable dyke design can keep the failed shitty multiplayer relevant for a little while.

>>2064 Bots account for 98% of my coom.

>>2064 So the worst outcome happened: >TF2 is left to rot <After getting raped, mutilated and injected with hormones like a tumblrina in the middle of New York's illegal immigrant hoods >Pulls out another retarded online multi-shooter just to compete with Fortnite and Valorant with worse character design because the original crew are gone for good >Community servers are scarce, only Skial and UncleTopia >Hackers only joining Valve's servers just to not get tracked down How the hell this doesn't affect the game's market for polygon crap?

>>2121 >Knowing the artist Advanced coomology.
