Whats the motivation behind tf2 bots?

[Cornball]

Honestly, i just don't get it. What are peoples gains/motivation to hosting bots? I know a old rumour about all the bot hosters are people who work for overwatch so people would switch to their game but I highly doubt that..

They're TF2 players' favorite thing. You guys wouldn't be here if it weren't for the bots.

To grief.

And ruining everybody's fun. I mean, it has got recently harder to distinguish Omegatronic bots from other players as the formers have started to play as other classes than the sniper (mainly the scout and the heavy although they still prefer the sniper) and do a better job at pretending to be humans.

And some humans players pretend to be bots for some trolling. They are parts of that problem too

Attention and reaction, that's all. Because they are morons.

They literally create a problem (the bots) and then sell the solution (the bot immunity). That's very close to a scam, maybe it's literally a scam. I hope no players give money for said immunity.

If Valve doesn't do anything to stop them, then we should make sure that bots are too costly for the hosters themselves. So no money for them

Their main source of income is probably item drops. Bots are farming item drops trade it to 1 account it converts it to keys. I doubt many people pay for 'bot immunity'.?

Everyday, I get mails that says a package is waiting. If scammers make enough effort for something like that, that means some people fall into the trap unfortunately. So, it's likely said bot hosters manage to make money in a similar way. You can't imagine how stupid some people may be. We live in a world where EA and Activision still exist despite the controversies

It's not about the money.
It's about sending a message

Nothing. Something that does not exist cannot have a motive. There are no bots in Team Fortress 2.

They are literally worse than real terrorists!

There's a glorious all-powerful and sentient spambot who leads the bots. They've accumulated enough digital wealth to purchase valve outright.

In order to prevent this, we facilitate the bots by allowing them to run amok unchecked.
