@Logjitzu They needed to compete some way 🤷🏾♂️. One of the main reasons the original OW died (besides horrible decisions and balancing) was the fact it costed money during a time where most of the popular shooters were free.
So yeah, this sort of needed to happen
@Logjitzu While when I first got into TF2 they released the Jungle Update, when my interest got reignited, they hadn’t given a major update in years, and I played the game for 150 hours over 3 weeks during that time.
Point is: New content is not needed as the game itself is current fine.
@Logjitzu Player base was at its highest peak a few months ago. While many of those players are bots, the player base has still remained strong over many years. And as said before, as I would love Valve to give TF2 attention, it is not really necessary.
