Yea, they’re probably making some point, but I’m not gonna bother watching if the thumbnail is already wrong

Oh damn I guess I should learn to read
I play pretty consistently and don’t notice a different after most updates

I mean yeah, that’s why I said it’s probably not the updates people want, but they’re still allowing mostly community backed updates and add them quite regularly.

The patches are mostly community fixes, which is not the way to treat a game that makes tens of millions per year. The game’s matchmaking is broken and needs either a major rework or outright removal. Some recent change broke MvM to the point it takes hours to queue up.

Matchmaking? TF2 moved away from community servers? Bleh.

They mean specifically “major” updates, ever since 2017 after Jungle Inferno it’s just been cosmetic additions, bugfixes, and the yearly holiday events which are typically pretty big but not big enough to be considered major.

There hasn't been a major update since Jungle Inferno in 2017.

What the tf2 community considers an “update” is the updates with names.
Every update of the last 9 years has been to celebrate a holiday or event and not actually a properly named update like Gun Mettle, Meet Your Match, Sniper vs Spy, Jungle Inferno, etc etc.
Even checking thr history page on the website you can see that its just “Halloween” a bunch of times and then finally jungle inferno back in 2017: https://www.teamfortress.com/history.php
