Why are so many of the SaveTF2 people hung up on the bots spamming "twansphobwic" and "rayciss" stuff when the whole point is the games almost unplayable now

Easier for
Maybe they're also expecting valve to add anti toxicity systems like in overwatch or other blizzard games. There's nothing really preventing you from calling someone a nigger in any valve game, other than risking a vote kick or if you're playing on a community server.

Presumably because the average normie doesn't really give a shit about people cheating in video games, but cares about people spamming mean words. Plus it means it's more likely that a major internet news outlet will pick up on considering how much those outlets moo about "toxicity in video games".

The average normie cares about neither of these things. They have better things to do than to care about a decade+ old war-themed fashion simulator being infested with virgin bots, or care about people saying mean things on the internet

The TF2 team has tweeted their response to the ongoing protests

I'm sure they'll get right on that and-
what? New Steam UI needs some fixes? Everyone we can spare on it?
We'll get to it next week. Promise.

Nothing quite says "We're gonna do something" like the single TF2 dev finding the official twitter's password after two years and posting a vague, boilerplate response 20 minutes before closing time. Good job, TF2 community, I hope it was worth it.
And yes, it was 20 minutes before closing time - officially posted at 4:40 PST. Wasn't even worth a blog post.

How fitting considering the majority of Twitter's userbase is also bots.

I've seen this shit with Gaijin Entertainment and their responses to every War Thunder controversy, I'm definitely not optimistic on this but the number of actual gullible retards that would fall for this still gets me every time.

Why get rid of something if people are gonna just keep tossing money at it anyways.
Remember, think of the jewtubers that upload unboxing videos which activates neruons of other consumers to start spending money on keys for a game of chance to open a box that will give them a shiny virtual hat worth $1000.

Correct me if I'm wrong but because of the source code leak no matter what they do they won't be able to truly fix the bot problem right
This whole gay thing is just for nothing at the end of the day, right

And not to mention that TF2's competitors aren't in a better state, and some of them are in either even worse shape (Overwatch with the diversity chart deal, and Paladins's lack of polish and atrocious matchmaking), or dead. (Battleborn, LawBreakers)

Overwatch has done so much less with so many more resources. It's insane.

Source code leak or not, this would have happened regardless. As has been shown in recent years, decompiling a game is just something you can do, and decompiling software compiled on linux or mac will immediately produce semi-readable source code, so all the leak probably did was just make this whole thing easier to do. And that's on top of there already being a publicly available source sdk released by valve. Even without this latest leak, source games have had a massive cheating problem since forever, and now making a vac undetectable cheat is easy to do with the info on how being publicly available. So some determined sperg making a cheat that plays the game itself was honestly inevitable

translation from corporate PR speech - "lol"
this is still no guarantee that valve will do anything with the game or be successful in whatever anti-cheat measures or content updates they add. remember when gabe said that a new update is coming for TF2?
i'll be waiting for actual action rather than a quick tweet made to appease the twitter and reddit horde.

I honestly think Valve and the TF2 fanbase are perfect for each other. One side are a bunch of complacent greedy fucks that have all the money in the world and refused to improve on their client (the Steam Client being an annoying piece of shit software) and games while also popularizing some of the greediest shit to have been graced in the game industry, lootboxes, battlepasses and arguably, F2P in general. The fanbase is the result of all your complacency and greedy antics eventually cropping up and creating an invariably toxic fanbase that never refuses to shut up, keeps bringing up trans shit and turning the game into a massive shitfest of bots, dogshit anti-cheat and more dogshit players, all because Valve kept looking at things at such a short-sighted way than most game developers when it comes to maintaining it that they should have fostered a healthy relationship with the fanbase through communication.
Both honestly get what they deserve, two birds in one stone.
