Players Review Bomb Team Fortress 2 as the Game is Plagued with Rampant Cheating

Team Fortress 2, a free-to-play multiplayer game that’s been around for 17 years, is facing massive backlash from its community due to rampant cheating. Over 20,000 players have left overwhelmingly negative reviews on Steam, frustrated by aimbots making the game nearly unplayable.

And the frustration isn't just about the cheating. It is also aimed directly at Valve. Many players feel Valve has neglected Team Fortress 2, focusing instead on their rumored new game, "Deadlock," which aims to compete with Overwatch. Furthermore, Valve's negotiation of a deal to be acquired by Microsoft has been stirring a lot of dissatisfaction and controversy, as fans worry that an acquisition by Microsoft would ruin PC gaming.
