Is TF2 officially dead now?
>>342461634
It's been dead for long.
A mere shadow of what it used to be.
>Now
TF2 has been dead for over half a decade, mate.
It's still fun
>>342461862
Yes, actually, it is.
Played it today. I unironically love TF2 and likely always will. I apologize for nothing. I don't think I've ever loved a game as much as TF2 or played a game as much.
>>342461634
That competitive update should be coming out sometime soon. They just released some preparation patches for it today.
>>342461634
It is so dead you have no idea.
Making it F2P was the final nail in the coffin. It peaked maybe half a year or a year after the Orange Box was released.
TF2 will always have a very, very special place in my heart.
>>342462170
lel Overwatch didn't impact its player numbers at all.
>>342461634
Exactly what was so great about TF2?
>>342462279
It's like the two coexist somehow.
>>342462279
used to consistently get 70 - 80k
>>342462279
Of course not. You think a F2P game is gonna bat an eye when a competitor tries selling an inferior product for 40 bucks?
>>342462279
Only hat autists are left.
DotA wasn't affected either, their obsessive desire to play DotA and only DotA was stronger than the allure of waifus.
>>342462279
That was my point.
>>342462326
it was free
>>342462424
What is a hat autist?
>>342462402
>last 30 days
>50k avg
Someone's bullshitting.
>>342462279
the only people still playing TF2 are penniless kids an neets that can't afford overwatch
>>342461634
Not so long as it keeps paying thirdworlders to play it.
Same with CS:GO and dota2; I can only imagine how many of the "active players" are just item farming bots.
>>342462424
the meme again
>>342462567
And how many days has Overwatch been out for, anon?
>>342462661I honestly can't recall.
>>342462402
Yeah,maybe before 2012
>>342462632
in dota you need to finnish the game to have a simple chance to loot something
and you cant sell them anymore
>>342461634
TF2 won't "die" until Overwatch goes F2P or some other competitor competes for the poverty demographic.
But it's "dead" in that Valve's clearly stopped giving a fuck.
>>342462768
>But it's "dead" in that Valve's clearly stopped giving a fuck.
By that definition everything Valve has ever made is dead, because they only "update" their games when they want to add cash farming features in them.
It kinda all makes sense.
>>342462170
>117k peak while overwatch boasted having 10 million players
>>342462279
Here's your fucking reply
>>342463165
(You)
>>342462880
>By that definition everything Valve has ever made is dead
That is correct, yes.
>>342462768
It's 'dead' in that only children, bronies, ERPers, and botters play it. The game is basically creatively bankrupt and Valve just takes whatever the community wants and throws it in in the form of hats and cosmetics.
Apparently the competitive update is supposed to save it, but I highly doubt this since before I left the queue was basically dead. Even if it was fixed I have the feeling it won't flourish again since most of the TF2 competitive players moved on to Overwatch, so Valve would have to pump money into it to get people to play (like DotA2).
>>342461862
yeah but i also find making finger paintings out of my own shit to be fun
is battleborn officially dead now?
>>342461634
As long as Overwatch continues to not have dedicated servers, it will be worse and have a much shorter lifespan compared to TF2 IMO. I speak from experience when I say I would have put in a LOT less hours if TF2 had matchmaking like Overwatch, the few servers I went to really made the game for me.
>>342461634
TF2 has over 40k active player. More than Overwatch ever had.
And the Overwatch players are dropping like hot cakes
>>342463410
Sauce? Iqdb & saucenao give nothing.
>>342463629
Yeah but you aren't the kind of guy to pay for a videogame anyway.
>>342463953
What? I paid for TF2 when it came out and I own Overwatch. I just want to play with people I know are decent, have fun playing whatever I want without dealing with rages, and listen to that delicious micspam.
TF2 and Overwatch play nothing alike. TF2 will continue to exist long after Overwatch has died only because it allows players to make their own servers.
>>342464019
You do realize there's a friend group option, right?
>>342464416I have no friends and people on /owg/ don't group up
>>342464509
I've grouped up with /owg/ several times.
But yeah, I hope Blizzard will give OW dedicated servers. If not, then I at least expect a very competent ranked mode.
>>342464634
I have a feeling ranked mode is going to back the "forced 50" regular matchmaking has, where it feels like MMR doesn't exist at all.
>>342464634
>a very competent ranked mode.
oh wow
>>342463410
I remember I loved getting on TF2 lobby and actually communicating with people to actually try to win games (you could play pugs with TF2 General but fuck them)
Once that site went down, I gave up on TF2
will there ever be more official tf2 shorts?

>>342465807
Don't think so. Most of the original voice crew is hard to reach/are getting fucking destroyed and due to the new Valve policy "why put effort into it if you can just let the community shit out something instead".
>>342465807
Maybe for the next update since it's supposed to be some big stuff. Last one was expiration date?
