The amount of love I have towards this game can't even described. It has played a huge part of my childhood and helped me get through tough times with it's humor, characters, design and just the nature of the game. But as the saying goes "All good things must come to an end" and that's sadly the case of TF2. This game has been plagued by bots for a very long time and it doesn't seem to get any better. What doesn't make it better is that a video came out recently by "Zesty Jesus" where he tried to make out how many bots there actually are. It turns out that this game is 80% bots and only 20% "real" players. Compare that with Valve almost never updating the game you got a dead game with a delusional community. Unless you want the game to stay like this you shouldn't give Valve any type of money to show them that you won't accept this. And if you think that they don't have the tools to fix it, trust me they do!!

If you don't like first person shooters, you will love Team Fortress 2.
If you don't like online multiplayer games, you will love Team Fortress 2.
If you don't like men, you will love Team Fortress 2.
Heck, even if you don't like videogames, you will LOVE TEAM FORTRESS 2

A title that is not only able to stand out the test of time, with a community (mostly not toxic) active for over 15 years, and a charm so persuasive that literally lead to the invention of SFM.

Even without considering the impact TF2 had on the internet or the videogame landscape as a whole, in a vacuum the game is also really enjoyable: each of the different characters not only have a timeless iconicity and personalities, but gameplay-wise they all have unique gimmicks that can be exploited differenty depending on your team or the overall strategies. I have been a Scout main when I played the game as a kid (mostly because I sucks at aiming and a baseball bat was a call for me), but trying out characters that I never personally tried, like Heavy Pyro or Spy, lead to always fun matches even though Im kinda suck personally eheh.

It is also respectable how one of the most important aspects of modern multyplayer games (DLC AND MICROTRANSACTIONS, my not beloved!) are limited to cosmetics and don't remove anything crucial to the whole experience. Each extra mode even today are released, and show how much the devs care about this title.

One of the best free-to-play experience you can have. Valve invented comedy back in 2007 and nobody topped that yet.
If you don't wanna try it, at least watch the trailers and promotional shorts: Expiration Date is cinema at its finest.
