The player count isnt real

[White-Tip]

If what I heard is correct, the tf2 player count is extremely bizarre. Usually games have 50% players in game and 50% in queue, but for tf2, only 10% are in game and 90% are in queue. It is theorized that that the majority of the "players" in queue are bots (not aimbots) just normal bots that idle in the main menu. This could explain why ref is getting cheaper each day.
Feel free to prove me wrong though.

Aren't there YouTube videos about it

I think I may have suspected something like this a while ago when the player count was still rising despite the bots.
It would probably be really easy for Valve to limit this in some way.
Then again I'm not sure how hard it is for just two people to code something /j

idle bots

[NitoAndTheFunkyBunch]

Theres about 40,000 bots at any given time.
Worth mentioning that about half of all players, for any game, are idling in the menu so the current tf2 count should show up as about 25,000 rn on steam charts.
ref is getting cheaper because the bots farm ref
