i dont believe that most people that play this game are real.
team fortress 2 has an average supposed ingame playercount of around 50000 ppl at any one given time during a normal day. most of these people do not exist. out of that 50k playercount only 5000 are real players. the rest are bots. someone is training an ai to play the game.
fenomeno. mxr. elijah. these players were not cheaters. they were the most sophisticated products of this ai trying to create the perfect tf2 player, each with a human handler to be their "face", as you will, in order to conceal the ai. the cheating scandal was a fabrication put on by the shadow programmers in RGL once people started to catch on that they were not human. sin karma may be another of these ais, but a much more refined version, one that learns much faster.
"but who?" you ask. "who would benefit from a near endless supply of cannon fodder pubbers and an elite cabal of players who can quickly rise to the top, pushing human opponents out except for those at the very top?"
isn't it obvious? who in this community pubstomps daily without tiring and yet still sits atop his competitive throne?
