I've played 5,181 hours since my first review of this game. I can no longer recommend this game despite it being one of my most played games of all time. Valve's lack of action is an extremely bad look for them. If people can do this in one of their games with virtually nothing being done about it.

My once naive view of Valve as one of the best companies who could do no wrong had long come crashing down, but this is inexcusable. Each passing day makes their stance on hosting cheating bots in their game, along with the ACTUAL crimes bot hosters have committed, including using the game as a way to make money off of desperation and the doxxing of real people, clear. Meeting something like this with inaction is a truly awful solution. Me and countless others say enough is enough.


Original review [@293.7 hours]:
What I like about playing this game is how you almost never never have the same experience with a single gamemode or map even after having played it a bunch. I highly recommend this game for people who are interested in strategy games that require cooperation with teammates to ensure an overall successful victory.
