Valve makes $24M+ a year from TF2 while ignoring broken Casual servers. Stop accepting the bare minimum. Demand a working game.

Valve will not shut down a game that makes them millions of dollars just because you ask them to make the game a better playable state for them to leave on autopilot. If they did, that would show the game that makes them way more money. Aka c s go that the items in their inventory are, in fact, just pixels. And then they will stop spending money

You can't keep up the illusion that pixels cost money. If you destroy the very first thing that started the idea of pixels cost money.

are you going to actually demonstrate how casual is broken or are you just assuming everyone already agrees with you

how exactly do you want us to do by demanding?

the game works, ever since they got rid of the bots the only thing we can really complain about is no balance updates but at this point there's no reason why we should expect balance updates

Valve isn't forcing you to spend money on it.

Guy posts genuine concern from the game. 4 comments ignoring the issue and indirectly deflecting blame from valve(?) Welcome to tf2 reddit where only the most masochistic playerbase with the highest degree of Stockholm's syndrome reside.

Nah there are some legitimate flaws like no team scrambles and unbalanced teams.

I think it's just what he said. If he said "TF2 makes 24$ million dollars yearly while copy pasting community content with very inconsistent quality control (incorrectly as often a map won't work, an unusual effect will be missing textures, casual just breaks, ect.) If they want to profit from a live service game, they should actually try to run a live service game and not just poorly copy paste bad community content".

Vs "Casual is broken, also the won't shut down the game." Casual isn't broken it just kinda blows.

A… A legit question? Hot dang!! Here this guy is completely unbiased/neutral and allows the audience to come to their own conclusions. He isn’t as funny as Lister but he shows all the receipts
