What you need to know
- Over a year since Valve pledged to "improve things" in response to fans of its beloved class-based shooter Team Fortress 2 beginning a #SaveTF2 movement on social media, the hashtag is once again trending.
- Valve has done little to shore up TF2's security against floods of bot accounts using hacks to ruin games on official servers.
- Earlier this week, TF2's item servers went down for nearly two days, preventing everyone from accessing weapons and cosmetics that they bought or obtained from random drops.
- Additionally, the community has been frustrated by the studio's continued refusal to revert a chat ban on free accounts, as well as its choice to not implement community-contributed bugfixes.
