Aight, that's gonna be a long thread so here we go:
7 years ago i installed Steam for the first time. Before that i was only playing stuff on my oldass PS1 and PS2.
Watching kitty0706 (rest in peace) back in the days made me install TF2 as my first game. I was having a lot of fun.
I was having fun. At that time i was only focusing on the gameplay not the community since i was a kid who didn't believe that you can make friends online.
Then on some 4fun server i've met a guy named Michal2222. Dude introduced me to trading, other servers and the community.
I was meeting more and more people. Back then i was barely speaking english so i had to step up and start learning more. Outside of polish servers i've made friends with many other folks. That game made me better at speaking that damn language.
I can say that it even motivated me to start getting the best damn grades in the english classes. I fell in love with this fucking game. Whenever i was having a shitty day because of family problems i just launched TF2 and talked to my pals while kicking others' asses.
I was playing it almost every day for 7 years straight and refused to play anything else. Constant updates, awesome people, great game.. what do you need more?
Then Valve started slowly stopping with the updates.
Some of my best pals started disappearing from Steam.
The game became more annoying due to a massive amount of bots and cheaters. The main thing that was keeping me in there was the community. Animators, artists, comedians, content creators, players i look up to.
But a big part of them also decided to abandon ship.
I still had some hope that they might come back but thing didn't happen. Later - dramas.
First it was dumb shit like someone big being exposed as a cheater.. then someone as a child diddler. I would never expect that shit like this could happen in fucking TF2.
It was a rare occasion so i didn't care that much. I just continued playing the game and meeting people.
But now it's mf 2020 and each month another pervy dickwad is getting exposed. I am so done with this fuckery.
After all of that the last thing that was keeping me in the game were muh expensive items.
Which i just started to sell because of my current money problems. So nothing keeps me in the community anymore.
So after 7 years of TF2 sitting on my hard drive it's time for me to finally uninstall it. It already hurts like shit because this piece of shit meant to me A LOT.
But by looking at it i've met better people outside the game.
By starting making Payday 2 content i gained a lot of viewers, met amazing people like SirCrackerBulb, Crasherbasher, Peasemaker, JFJ... and someone who besides of subbing to me on youtube followed me here on Twitter as well.
I'm talking about the one and only person who i would let to drag me through Hell back and forth and i wouldn't mind. You guys already know who i'm talking about, hah.
Sophie, you have no damn clue how much my life has changed because of you. Love you.
So that being said, i'm sick of the shit that is currently happening in TF2. I'm done with the game updates being halted, i'm done with Valve doing jack shit to prevent bots from joining the game and i'm FUCKING DONE with pedos in this goddamn community.
From now on you can find me playing War Thunder, No More Room In Hell, Terraria, Payday 2 and occasionally i'll be still sitting in SFM making "stuff".
But i don't associate myself with TF2 community anymore.
Thanks for everything, TF2.
It was a wild ride.
