I'm convinced Valve are the ones making the bots to finally kill off TF2.

I mean, that's certainly an idea, but I'm not sure I see your reasoning here. I mean, why would Valve go through the extra trouble of botting their own servers to kill tf2 when they could just pull the plug themselves?
To not entirely shit on the community, I mean why would you want to take the blame?
I mean this would put them against PC gamers, who generally likes Valve/Steam, this would set a terrible precedent for them.
The fact that bots joined all at once on BOTH teams is shady as fuck.
Slightly, yes, I can see where you might see that, however, the bots only target players; having them on both teams to this extent would only serve the botters goal, which is, I believe, to ruin the game for as many people as possible.
But! It's unlikely to be Valve botting themselves. If Valve shut down TF2's servers, they'd recieve a ton of backlash, sure, but they're Valve. They have a large enough company established that shutting down the servers of a game like TF2 wouldn't ruin their reputation entirely.
If Valve wanted TF2 dead, they would just pull the plug or let it die out without any updates. I sincerely doubt Valve would bot their own servers with a third-party aimbot.
