ABOUT Boycott Deadlock

Let's make it into Dead(on arrival)lock

Since Valve is clearly poised to make the same mistake they did with Artifact and Underlords - releasing a game nobody asked for in a genre that the market is over-saturated with and already well past its prime - this group exists to focus everyone's hatred and oppose the game with fury. Let your friends, neighbors, associates know that the game will be terrible and will likely be infested with micro-transactions (like every other single modern multiplayer Valve game, including Portal 2) as well as many other bad game design practices, much unlike what Valve was capable of creating back in its hey-day.

Let Valve know that ignoring much better-designed games like TF2, Counter Strike 2, and others, in favor of this garbage, will not stand and should only lead to lost profits. If you're thinking of even trying this game, don't. If you're aware of anyone planning to spend money on it, persuade them not to. There are hundreds of other games which do what Deadlock does but better, and most likely without the malicious practices.

Due to the flat structure of Valve's development department, the team is able to work on whatever they please as befits their whims, but not necessarily the good of the company as a whole or the communities they support. But even Valve's pockets aren't limitless. They'll notice a failure like Deadlock if we keep up the pressure, and make them aware of the games and communities they are neglecting.

This group will dissolve in one of two conditions:
1. After Deadlock releases and eventually goes under 100 concurrent players a day
2. Valve admits they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up with TF2 and CS2 and fixes the rampant cheating/bot problem, and brings back quickplay, bringing community servers back to the forefront instead of their crappy, terribly-executed matchmaking system.

It looks horrendous, like a bad mobile game, it must be a pre-alpha, not alpha.

#SaveDoDs I think this problem extends to Day of Defeat Source aswell as TF2 and CS2.
