  TF2 is iconic and has a loyal fan base, it would be a smart move for Valve to at least listen to their fans/customers.

    Support for TF2 would be undertaken voluntarily by developers since Valve has a flat corporate structure.

    The only way you get continued support for TF2 is convincing devs to work on a crusty old legacy codebase for a game that doesn’t make anywhere near the amount of money as other games that everyone else is working on.

    TF2 is iconic - Valve just doesn’t care.

      I suppose, but on the other hand, it’s not like figuring out ways to mitigate bots and other attacks couldn’t benefit all their games.

        Flip the script - why have they mitigated bots in other games but not TF2? Is it because the strategy doesn’t transfer or is it because the implementation doesn’t translate?

        And if they haven’t mitigated bots elsewhere - why would they do it in a crusty codebase like TF2 vs somewhere shiny and new.

      Most of Valves properties are iconic.
