What makes it unplayable?

The tens of thousands of bots(Estimated around 20 to 30K) that have been flooding the servers and instakilling/capping/stopping people from even leaving spawn for the last 2 years.

So what is this protest going to do?

Honestly? We want answers. That's it. We want to know if they have ANY intention of doing ANYTHING about the problem, or if continuing to try and play the game is a waste of time.

Valve already made a shit ton of money out of the lootcrates/hats/trading and doing anything more with TF2 is completely pointless to them. You should know what their priorities are.

You'd better hope for them to make a TF3 without a shitty real money hat economy.

You forget, they're still making a fortune on this game. This compeltely unplayable game. I'm sure there's laws being violated there, but that's not the point of this. The point is to be as loud as possible so they can't just ignore us anymore. We don't CARE about an update anymore. We just want our game to be playable again.

Multi-billion dollar private company that hasnt touched the game in years.

I'd assume it's not priority as its something that wont cripple them.

It's a massive cash cow for them. The loss of it would absolutely hurt them. Why do you think they kept it running this long?

You and me both, dude. I really wish it never had to come to this.

I never played the game...but I know Overwatch has a very similar concept. The only way to get your answers is to keep pushing, keep asking and not give up. I hope it works out for this beloved game. I hope they finally listen. It isn't the only hame with bot issues. I stopped playing ESO because all of the bots resource farming for crafting materials. It's different but still frustrating and ruins your fun.

Good luck, and I mean it.

Overwatch has a similar concept because it's a love letter to tf2. As for it not being the only game with bot issues.... oh you have no idea how it is. It is, by far, the worst case of a bot infestation that the gaming community has probably ever SEEN.
