I love this game, and I always will. However, I cannot keep a positive review of it because the bot crisis is beyond out of hand. The bot crisis has been around a long time, but the escalation really started with the Meet Your Match update of July 2016. Yes, July of 2016, so as of the date of this review it has been just short of eight years.

EIGHT. YEARS.

The bot crisis has been plaguing this game for almost HALF OF ITS LIFESPAN.

While I could go on about how bad the Meet Your Match update was/is, there are plenty of videos on YouTube that do it far better than I could. The reason it matters and why I bring it up at all is because the changes that were made allowed the bot crisis to come even close to what it is now.

The good news is that it does not have to stay this way. There is a big community movement to pressure Valve to remedy the bot crisis, and this review is a small way of helping making that demand heard. This community is incredibly dedicated, and despite all the problems it does have, we all want this game to succeed. Vote with your wallet, and with your words to FixTF2.
