If you gingerly mouse over the individual months on the graph, you&apos;ll find that not even in 2022\u2014when #SaveTF2 first emerged\u2014was there a period where TF2 received even a tenth as many negative reviews as players have left over the last day.<\/p>\n<p>I might&apos;ve assumed a healthy number of those reviews were left by players who saw the #FixTF2 posts and wanted to jump on the outrage bandwagon for a laugh, even if they don&apos;t have much attachment to the game. But from what I can see by browsing recent reviews, the vast majority are being left by people with dozens of hours of playtime in TF2, if not hundreds, or even thousands. Maybe I should&apos;ve known better. I mean, it&apos;s Team Fortress 2. It&apos;s basically an institution.<\/p>\n<p>Valve hasn&apos;t yet responded to the latest wave of demands for anti-bot measures. Funnily enough, the Team Fortress 2 official Twitter account hasn&apos;t tweeted since it <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TeamFortress\/status\/1529970640224018433\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>acknowledged the <\/u><u><em>last <\/em><\/u><u>widespread outcry<\/u><\/a> in 2022. If nothing else, the review-bombing leaves a pretty glaring mark. Based on what I can glean from Steam review graphs, Team Fortress 2 has a new claim to fame: It&apos;s the only Valve game to ever drop below a Mixed rating for recent reviews.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/team-fortress-2-plummets-to-mostly-negative-on-steam-as-its-biggest-fans-stoke-the-righteous-flames-of-anti-bot-outrage\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wrote yesterday about the #SaveTF2 movement&apos;s latest campaign, mobilizing once again to pressure Valve into action against Team Fortress 2&apos;s rampant bot problem.
