    quite insane that nobody has managed to beat tf2 gameplay yet

    helps that it has fanmade map scene and many become official maps frequently, which most modern studios dont support these days. Id guess valorant and overwatch would heavily benefit from community map designers creating something fresh for those games

      It’s not that crazy. Modern game studios are monetization first and gameplay second, which isn’t going to work unless you luck into amazing gameplay.

      I don’t think that other games haven’t beat TF2, it’s happen a couple times already.
      The thing is all those games keep getting greedy and ruined by their own companies, then the servers get closed and the game dies forever.
      TF2 is no longer being developed, at least its monetisation can’t get worse, so people play it as it is or not, Valve still hosts some servers but even if they don’t, the community would still play because they could get their own servers running, so it’ll be there for whoever wants to play even after their favorite gatcha closes along with fixes made by the community.

      Another example would be L4D2, the community patch really shitted all over the game, they haven’t been able to fix it and Valve doesn’t care so there won’t be a rollback… But the servers can be run by the community along with Back2Vanilla which basically is a rollback of sorts, so people can keep playing and hosting their games even after other games close.
