While I've poured countless hours of my life into this project to be as faithful a recreation as possible, Valve has not been even remotely doing their job on the original game of Team Fortress 2. For the past 4 to 5 years, they've sat idly by as the game became increasingly plagued with hackers and aimbots. To make matter worse, these malicious users have not only been cheating in-game, but committing real world crimes too. If you are seeing this message and care even a little bit about TF2, the rule of law, justice, or accountability, I highly suggest:
- A: If you play TF2 yourself, boycott all in-game microtransactions. Try to even boycott microtransactions in Valve's other IPs too (if possible). Information about the boycott should be present on the Fix TF2 movement site within a few days if it isn't already there.
- B: Voice your complaints in a negative review on the steam page. A lot of people have been doing this so far and it's helped to bringing news media attention to the cause.
- C: Watch this video and/or read this document for more specific information about the enormity of the issue.
UPDATE: Valve has recently banned over 16,000 cheater accounts. This is a good start for sure, but still a long ways off from a proper solution to the problem, so let's keep up our demands and the boycott, especially since the developers still aren't giving any channels of communication.
The goal is to raise awareness of these grievances and try to put pressure on Valve's reputation so they will #FixTF2!
I have been working on recreating tf2 in Minecraft for the past 4 years, so I thought I would go ahead and share my work so far. Please be aware that this is insanely rough and unoptimized.
