Would you rather spend your time fighting a non-stop war on bots or instead work on the next gen steam deck/cs/half-life whatever project that valve is cooking up? From what people have said at valve, the work culture is very much find a project that interests you and put all your effort towards it. There's very little incentive to do work like fighting hackers/botters which is grueling, unfulfilling, and thankless work.

Valve hires industry veterans and people who worked on major projects. None of those people would want or be put to do entry level work like moderating/banning bots 24/7. This is probably some temporary intern or someone drew the short match after that Scout cosplayer was loitering around their offices a few weeks ago and they do this as a temporary solution so people can stop bothering them.

yeah i honestly doubt valve put in the amount of work that would be required to get an anti-cheat that actually works up and running in the time its been since that whole save tf2 thing started. it makes much more sense that they'd been working on it for a while now, and the "save TF2" trend merely got them putting in a bit more effort ot get it out sooner, IF even that.

This botting issue doesn't only exist in Valve games, it exists in World of Warcraft very rampantly right now as well in both Dragonflight and Cataclysm Classic. Botting seems to have had a severe rise. Due to it's extremely lucrative nature in itself, it's the smartest way for these scripters, hackers, and cheaters, to bot for Stats, Money, Fame, Etc.

How can we as adults have healthy loving relationships when Valve has been gaslighting us for the past 15 years... Gaben is drunk weird uncle that we can't help but hate to love.

Congrats on Valve for doing the bare minimum.

And the bot hosters and cheaters are playing victim and crying, "I like the way you beg" Django

My guess here is valve intentionally let the bot hosters and cheaters go rampant on tf2 so that they can train vac live

In CS2 there's a botfarm that spams a certain religious sermon from youtube. I've only run into 1 blatant cheater in casual since this fix. Whether its for Deadlock's security, or the Source Engine hole the cheaters were using is finally patched, its good to see TF2 in a better shape than a year ago.

As in, “rest in pieces”.

I had a guts feels of conspiracies that these bots were much created for some purposes to makes people quits the game and makes game unappealing for some period of time, then those would be former players sold their inventories to some Traders (which i'd assume play role as hostess of that bots) so there would be less some rare grade weaponry circulating around game (because they sold it mostly), so they (Traders) can sell their valuable stuffs at higher prices.

They will eventually come back in my opinion. We will probably have to do the same dance as fixTF2.

now that this demoknight can come out of retirement and come slaying again

I am hoping, that they aren't working on game centric fix, but on fix which is in their user base. Bot accounts have to have steam accounts, and usually accounts that are botting, are doing only that, botting. I hope they are building algorythm or AI system, which detects bot users no matter the game. Such a fix would pretty much save all the steam centric multiplayer games and it would shut anyone up who is whining that steam is anticompetitive and anticonsumer.

remeber lads, we don't spend a cent until after the summer event and only if the bots come back. they only get our money back if they keep up the work.

Valve hasn't really fixed TF2 they just did the bare minimum to make the game playable

"they didnt want to hate valve" you should. they dont care about you, they care about profits. and they dont need to make good things to make money anymore, they have gambling addicts to exploit now. and even while thescore releases critical videos about the company in one vid they will gleefully advertise and promote valve's latest skins and further incentivize valve to continue not giving a shit about you stop talking about skins, thescore. even if you release good vids like this one youre still part of the problem when you get giddy about the latest trend that actually fills these company's pockets

Now only if Rockstar do the same with GTA

You know all you need is like 3 profile names to find thousand of copies of them bots. Look for example for names like Proxy Yoshi or Miss Super E i had blocked and reported tons of them so everyonce in a while I check if they are banned but to this day they are still active, you know they are bots because they all show the exact same hours on the last games they played and some all them have the exact same cs go command written in their comment section things of that nature but the most obvious is that a lot of them have the exact same girls picture as avatar.

Finally I can gamble my pain away and unbox 173652 shitty cosmetics and spend 2 minutes unbothered in the actual game.

I want to know the point of making that many bots. If people stop playing, and stop byuing hats within tf2. Would that not defeat the whole point of the bots to begin with? Whats the point of having a game only populated by bots. You can't crush noobs if no one new joins.

Maybe ill reinstall the game

wait 3 months

Coming out and saying "We have fixed TF2, botting is no longer a thing, let's all celebrate!" would be an invitation for hackers to try harder. Besides, whatever Valve is doing, they can't be sure it'll be a lasting fix, so it's the right move to monitor things for a while instead of declaring victory.

Probably can think it as they secretly implemented some mechanisms into the code or collecting data to detect bot and ban it afterwards, the fact is once the mechanisms been understood by the scripter they will create a new cheating or scripting tool to bypass it. It is better for valve not stating too much on their works, as player I only care they have did something not how they do their job

When read the title, I think that the only thing to fix TF2 is transferred it completely to Steam instead of the EA launcher.
