when we tried with savetf2 they did fix some things and there were less bots for some time. the reason we’re doing it again is so that everyone (even people who know nothing about tf2) knows that the game still needs fixing.
valve does still make games. do you not know about half life alyx and counter strike 2?!?!? they dont make them as much as they used to, but they still do it. also, they dont have to do much themselves. nothing’s stopping them from hiring people from other studios to work on tf2.
