Why doesn't Valve care about TF2 anymore? Are they that heartless?

i think its a combination of two things
one: its a decade old game and most of the staff don't want to work on it because its old
two: its a decade old engine thats a complete cluster fuck to use, and the game's shit performance is a testament to that being true since it wasn't originally designed to handle the 6 gorillion hats, coats, beards, unusual effects, weapon skins, different weapons, those different weapons with their own weapon, skins, etc etc

The game being old is no excuse this level of neglect.
People would be happy with maps added in the pool that they wouldn't even have to make.

bump

doesnt make anywhere near as much money as csgo or dota 2

>The game being old is no excuse this level of neglect.
Sure it is, there are very few games over 12 years old that receive regular updates

world of warcraft?

They don't want to admit they fucked up leaving it for Artifact which makes less money.

The past few major updates left the game in a rough state which the community was very vocal about, so they might not want to do anything in case it fucks with more things and makes fans even more upset

Valve is not going to update a 12 year old game that doesn't make them money anymore you dumb faggot.
Enjoy your quickplay valve server gibus shitfest

you say that but they're putting more effort into fucking ARTIFACT than tf2 right now
its fucking bizarre

Artifact has a chance for redemption in their eyes
TF2's decade old spaghetti code puts them off from trying more with it

>doesnt make them money
yeah... about that

I don't care if they stop working on it but at least give the us the last comic for fucks sake. At least do something like that and then announce that they're going to stop working on the game instead of leaving everyone in the dark

both of those things could be said about CS:GO though and that game still gets plenty of support

Why do you care about TF2

>not even a mention of Rick May's passing on the website :(

CS has a strong competitive scene. TF2 is just a fun casual game.

Being realistic, how hard will be to left it to the community?

Came to post this. It's a real son of a bitch.

Everything outside of Mercenary Park and the weapons have all been community made since Jungle Inferno. Namely cosmetics. But apparently the community fucked up during the Invasion update which soured Valve's willingness to delegate major updates to the community. Something to do with who got how much money from items and such.

The game either needs a massive overhaul or a sequel at this point. I honestly think a sequel would be less effort than fixing the game.

i think it's more heartless to keep the game alive artificially, it had to be euthanized, honestly
t. 5000+ hours

>tf2 constantly releases extra content, new game modes, maps, etc.
>fans love it
>code starts getting rough to work with, difficult to manage, system requirements go up and the baisc quality of the game goes down, downloads are absurd and everything is impossible to balance
>fans get mad when more things break, fans get mad when nothing is added, fans get mad when theres updates they dont want, its literally do anything and lose

meanwhile, in other, smarter game development studios:
>multiplayer game is released
>some free patches, some added content, but big game changing updates are curiously missing
>once it looks like the game has lost all its steam, Mutiplayer Game 2 is announced
>refreshed code, streamlined engines, updated for new systems, etc.
>release new game modes
>once it looks like the game has lost all its steam, Multiplayer Game 3 is announced

Agreed
Kill it already

What matters is that people are still playing and still love the game.
Its over a decade old but it still looks good because of its art style and the gameplay is better than any modern FPS, It's a game with the potential to be polished for another 30 years+.
Eventually you polish the game to the ideal form of shooting a movement and its hard to imagine what making a sequel to it would even improve.

Let it go

they could add a character that has a gun.
Fortnite's generic soldier character has a gun, just a regular fucking gun, and its already an improvement over every early 2000's meme yelling asshole in tf2

not him.
and?

make something new to fill the void.

Is that comic from years back still going? Wasn’t it supposed to be bi-annual? I haven’t played tf2 since about 2014

>Something to do with who got how much money from items and such.
Like some kind of mafia behind the update?

effectively one guy in the community redirected all the money valve would give everyone to his account.

Absolutely based

>that guy who can't do a thing without benefits in his favour
This is why we can't have good things
