I was an adult when the Orange Box came out. Shit was def not free!
I have played tf2, just never got into it:
modern tf2 is basically unrecognizable to those of us who played tf back in the day (Team Fortress Classic)
that isn’t a critical issue for me, but this one is:
the loads and loads and loads of stuff piled atop the old beast… not helping perf or new user engagement. one of our laptops has a gf 2070 mobile that struggles with tf2, and that’s just sad.
Update: Three days later, all-things-valve guy Tyler says gamefinding in TF2 is just broken - community servers empty, populated servers locked behind paywalls… smissmas bott’ed and just a lack of accessibility to users who aren’t already TF2 vets.
It’s an online multiplayer FPS, and I don’t like getting my ass kicked when I’m not on the clock.
I paid money for TF2 back in 2007 and all I got to show for it is a stupid hat.
