I’m not sure valve really cares at this point. I think they still enjoy TF2, but I get the sense that they don’t really know what to do with it at this point and no one really wants to give it enough attention to figure out how to fix the problems it currently has, much less figure out how to expand the game further. Tbh it’s an old game, and they may even feel like they’ve programmed themselves into a corner, where any major changes would require reprogramming large parts of the game or even migrating the game to a newer version of source.
That said, I’ve signed it, or at least tried to sign it. It gave me an error about being blocked due to bot activity, though that might have been my fault. I hit the button and waited for a confirmation but nothing happened, so I hit it again, nothing happened, and then on the third try the site refreshed a couple times before telling me I’d been blocked.
However, hopefully it got through.

There has also been posted videos showing that a vast majority of tf2’s active players are likely bots, whether trading bots or aimbots. This kind of petition may never get anywhere.

My problem with valve is that they do less than the bare minimum for upkeep, while adding microtrandactions to continue profiting. What we’re asking for is an answer to the bot problem, and nothing more. Something that should be a base essential for any fps
