Valve Plans To Address Team Fortress 2’s Bot Problem

Team Fortress 2 is still a popular and highly played game. However, aimbots have taken over the site in recent years. Valve has responded to a plea from a group of passionate fans for help. 

Yesterday, the official Team Fortress 2 Twitter account posted a message in response to #SaveTF2, a peaceful campaign of fans working to raise awareness about the game’s rampant bot problem. Basically, bot programs have made the game nearly unplayable for some since they’ll instantly kill players upon loading up into match-ups, giving the bots users an unfair advantage. TF2 players have become increasingly vocal about the problem, but Valve has remained largely silent on the issue (even going quiet on the game’s forums) until posting the following message: 

We are here to help you, TF2 Community! We are passionate about this game, and so is yours. This is a very serious issue that we recognize and have begun to address.

Valve doesn’t elaborate on how it plans to tackle the problem or when to expect a solution but getting the notoriously quiet company to respond is an accomplishment and measure of relief for Team Fortress 2 fans. It is hoped that it will result in a substantive response sooner than expected.
