Team Fortress 2 is experiencing a bombardment of negative reviews due to Valve’s inertia in countering a huge problem that is plaguing the game, that of bots, as well as for the scarcity of updates. In short, he is in a fairly delicate situation. 84% of the most recent reviews are very critical of the game’s management (around 25,000), for a total of more than 100,000 negative reviews overall.
Of course, it must be said that Team Fortress 2 has more than 1 million reviewsbut this is unprecedented for a title from the Half-Life company, especially one so beloved (the average rating still remains “Very positive”).
What happen?
Team Fortress 2 remains beloved on Steam despite 17 years having passed since its launch, so much so that it always occupies one of the top floors of the most played rankings on the platform. As mentioned, the community has exploded due to bots, which make it completely unplayable, with Valve appearing to do nothing to combat the phenomenon. Let’s talk about bots used by cheaters, such as aimbots and similar, which have become increasingly common during normal games. Added to the discomfort with the bot situation is the lack of updates, with new content now very limited and having to be waited for for years.
It should be underlined that the negative reviews do not come from new players, but from veterans of the game with hundreds, if not thousands of hours of gameplay, enough to make an even more impression. In short, a turning point would be needed for the management of Team Fortress 2, which at present seems to have been abandoned to itself.
