In case you didnt know, Robin Walker, creator of the Team Fortress mod for quake (which was the "REAL" first Team Fortress), TFC and TF2 left valve a couple of years ago. Reasons? I don't really know, but something that a lot of us are aware of is that a lot of devs left valve time ago, and we didnt even notice when Half Life's writter was fired by Valve until he posted it.
A lot of the most iconic players of the game including b4nny and even the devs themselves stated that something BIG was going to happen today, a lot of changes, hats, maps, etc, stuff that at least 90% of the people I met on steam didnt really care about. I was expecting to get at least 1 map where they put a sign thanking us for literally spending THOUSANDS of hours and even money in this game.
at the end all we get is "SOMETHING BIG IS GOING TO HAPPEN SOON! You know that when we say soon it means years"

I loved tf2 yes, I spent a lot of time playing it, met a lot of friends, enemies, mostly enemies, but when I quit I had no regrets because I had fun. But it does get me angry that the company just gives back to one of their most commited community. Tons of money was spent for this company and they keep leaving their games on a cliffhanger.
Is every valve game now going to be ignored just because it doesnt get the same competitive scene as DOTA 2?
This doesnt mean that people should not play valve games or have fun with them, all of them are timeless classics, but you should be aware that your beloved communities gave way too much commitment, love and dedication (and a shit ton of money). This might not reach Valve but I do hope anyone from valve is reading this. My best regards:

edit: I might get banned again so I wont be able to argue back
edit 2: I've been saying this for so long, reality is valve reached the point where they dont even care about half life, their most iconic game. bottom line Valve doesnt care about any game. even if you keep saying that they didnt even promise an update for today. Its like they raised a bunch of prodigy children that grew up to be the best of the world but they dont wanna know anything about them anymore
