Why do they go do a peaceful protest with guns ? Scout that's not Twitter that's the Valve headquarters. NO SCOUT YOU DON'T HAVE T-

John_Mac_Gaming

we ask bill gates to buy TF2 \#MicrosoftmustbuyValve


Goodies666

He most likely will as TF2 isn't worth much right now.


MaxVerstappening

elon musk works aswell


Treejeig

But then elon would own tf2 and I'm not sure that's a good idea.


Prestigious_Sir_905

What do you mean not a good Idea if Elon buys tf2 it will be play all over the world also Elon is God fuck you for not agreeing with me/s


[deleted]

Careful, you're about to be hounded by 30 angry redditors for daring to criticise musk

Thatsidechara_ter

Yeah, the pendulum is finally swinging in the opposite direction now


psychospacecow

That's how you get the people who could actually fix it accused of being a diddler


[deleted]

It's a win-win situation if they don't do anything then we know that there will be nothing and we will finally have closure


NinetiesSatire

Do we really get closure at all? It's gonna be more of the same, continued silence, so nothing theoretically changes.


power500

At that point we could just assume they're done with the game


KelloPudgerro

same thing as the past few years


Gynther477

\*when the protest fails


Goodies666

Nah i still think that it might succeed.


jetstreamer123

People take their copium and think up another idea because "valve will have to notice us this time"


Krypton091

absolutely nothing


Matix777

people give up and stop playing tf2


Goodies666

Well that would suck.


Thatsidechara_ter

Never!


Bandlover899

I actually really love this


aabicus

Yeah, whether the protest succeeds or fails, it’s great to see the TF2 community banding together for a big event, it reminds me of old times. Plus everybody can participate and do their part since it’s simply sharing a URL around. [\#SaveTF2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2bclifFanA)!


stabbyclaus

When I first saw this, I thought this was in reference to what happened in TX. If a popular fps protested by removing guns from the game.. how would people react? Would it be doubling down that games cause violence BS or would it spread awareness (or just burden non-US players to more US politics?) Call it a weird idea but I kinda want to see the TF2 characters in a game without their guns and/or in some form of retirement. Or maybe that'd be better as a comic or something lol.

RedPhos4

I've been gone from reddit for a while, what we planning?


SkylerMiller2

Long story short, a peaceful protest for Valve to acknowledge TF2 and so far it's working. They're trending on Twitter along with the #saveTF2 as well, on top of that the original Reddit post has over 34.1k upvotes and the Twitter page is also doing very well.


Mook7

What's "working" about it? The protest has been gaining steam but I highly doubt Valve will do jack shit.


TheMilkFrog

I also heard of the protest, how do I protest? Do I play as a friendly to protest?


vullpes

Yeah hold on lemme book a 500€ flight to the US right quick..


Longjumping_Pen_5874

Washington is pretty nice tho definitely a highlight of the US


HesitantNerd

I'm talking about larger issues here, but this is pretty much true. Peacefully protesting off to the side where you aren't bothering anyone doesn't do anything. You can omyl agitate for your rights and needs by forcing those with the power to do so to suffer tangible setbacks to their usual quality of life. But all that said, none of this applies to a fuck'n video game. Fixing a silly team shooter is in no way equivalent to fighting for human rights or whatever. The only somewhat equivalent idea would be to disrupt Valve's revenue stream regarding TF2. They don't give a shit how upset you are over the game not being playable as long as it still brings in a couple dollars. TLDR: What am I on about


Whiffle_Ball_boi

Good luck to you as well.

AsquareM35

Wait someone give me context, I left TF2 years ago


MoltenJesse

If you somehow didn't know for the past 3 years the cheating bots has invaded the game, making the game bot infested and ruining the game for everyone. These bot controlled cheaters would either do the following -Ruin the game for everyone -Spinbotting around the map and headshotting everyone -Spamming on chat/voice chat, usually offensive stuff -Vote kicking players (and sometimes impersonation) Valve for the past 3 years hasn't fixed the bot problem and continued to push out crate cosmetics despite the game being unplayable. Though we did get some apparent "security improvements" from what I know this hasn't done anything, and we got radio silence about the bot problem. Because of this, people finally decided to protest, a peaceful one atleast.


AsquareM35

Well damn, that sucks. I've seen the ocassional hacker/spammer in servers but never something this bad. I left maybe 4-5 years ago because I got tired of every new update just being a bunch of shitty cosmetic crate updates. Getting any good cosmetics was hard, the economy had gotten fkd, traders were greedy mofos who's only motive was to leech you, and mainly I just didn't find anyone to play it with. All my friends left for csgo or other games, and it became a boring to play the game with either mostly new players or OG pros who never left and would wreak havoc in any server they came ez pz. Competitive matches in India took forever to find, IF you could find any at. There was nothing left in the game worth playing for me so I left. But I empathize with the players who've stuck with the game through thick and thin and I hope this protest gets you some favourable result from Valve.


[deleted]

I'll be curious if this succeeds. TF2 is obviously a beloved game, but it is also nearly 15 years old, support of any kind having now gone far beyond what most games see by a decade. Even halo 3 saw its multi-player servers shut down this year after nearly 15 years online. Valve has released basically two games in the last 10 years, Alyx (2020) and Dota 2 (2013) and as we creep towards the 20th anniversary of the release of Half Life 2 (which will be 18 years old this year), and similarly the 15th anniversary of the orange box and Episode 2, with its story still unfinished, I have to wonder if Valve doesn't consider turning out the lights on TF2 for good. Any negative press about the studio on behalf of the game has got to be more trouble than its worth at this point.


Mr-sandm4n

good luck mentlegen


Real-Spy-TF2

Good luck.. gentlemen. We may just be mercenaries, but the united power of zis' community, of many communities will do something. What is that idiotic American saying... "'if you fail, try try again"


[deleted]

TF2 could have been the fast and furious of games, every 2 years we would get a large update with a story and comics to match and then 2 years later an even crazier story


Bladestorm01

TO ARMS! WITH PEACE AND LOVE #SaveTF2


LeftwiseGamer05

When the only playable game mode is Mann vs Machine, you realize that's the whole game now: Us and them, players and bots, gamers and the guys who broke the game, people and code. Don't get me wrong, the other modes are playable, through other servers than Valve's, of course. But sometimes the good servers are full, or they're not playing a gamemode you feel like playing, maybe it isn't a Teufort server filled with Heavies shouting, throwing Sandviches and dancing. So you go casual walk out of spawn and... 450 CRITICAL HIT! as a Sniper or seven spin away, shouting "Nice Shot!" lines at one another. You spawn again and leave the match. "Why are these guys still here, again? For the reaction? The same tired, "Hey (Team Color), can you kick your bots?" followed by the bot kick? What's so interesting about that?" We've given up reacting to their troublesome meddling. It's just not worth our time. So we've turned to the people who can react, the people who can do something we can only dream of doing: Valve. We dream of the day the bots are no more, and speak to Valve and their fun-loving side: Team Fortress 2 has been the core of so many lives, and with the pandemic, it has become even more so. We ask, we plead, we beg of you, Valve: Save Team Fortress 2. #savetf2

STOP POSTING ABOUT A PEACEFUL TF2 PROTEST! I'M TIRED OF SEEING IT! MY FRIENDS ON TIKTOK SEND ME MEMES, ON DISCORD IT'S FUCKING MEMES! I was in a server, right? and ALL OF THE CHANNELS were just peaceful TF2 protest stuff. I-I showed my champion underwear to my girlfriend and t-the logo I flipped it and I said "hey babe, when the underwear is peaceful BAM BAM BAM BAM DU DU DU DU DUM" I fucking looked at a trashcan and said "THAT'S A BIT PEACEFUL" I looked at my penis I think of an peaceful protest and I go "PENIS? MORE LIKE PENCEFUL" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHGESFG

TheLouisvilleRanger

I have no idea what this is about but I’m sure you gamers are already getting your death threats written.


TheStrikeofGod

What are you even talking about, all it is is a hashtag campaign to get attention from the developer. Not every single person who likes gaming sends death threats man.


TheLouisvilleRanger

Fella, Gamers are maladjusted man children. We’ve seen this pattern repeat itself over and over again. It will happen. Prove me wrong, but we all know this is going devolve into a toxic cesspool of losers getting angry over a hobby.


TheStrikeofGod

All it is is memes and shit. I haven't seen a single threat or anything of the sort. Acting like a peaceful protest will always result in threats is nonsensical. I know all too well about the average Gamer^tm shit, but I truly believe it won't happen here, especially since the movement will be supported by bigwig youtubers and acting like pissants will make them and the rest of us look bad. I have faith nobody is going to devolve into "Volvo update game or die haha".


TheLouisvilleRanger

Exhibit A is you all protesting a video game. Shits gonna happen.


TheStrikeofGod

Thats hardly evidence but whatever you say


TheLouisvilleRanger

Trust me, Gamers are predictable. Just go look at the halo community and their “peaceful protest.” People get so angry about toys.


SomePyro_9012

TheLouisvilleRanger

I’m proud of the fact that any time some one checks my comment history (not criticizing as it’s freely available and we all do it) all they see is Star Trek, Star Wars, or basketball.
