have you considered that he's just an idiot and you're just paranoid

What makes you say it's "just a campaign update" when we have confirmation there's going to be at least matchmaking?

If there are any sorts of intoxicating materials there, you may have a lot of fun with "Rockets Rockets Rockets". It's not so much fun sober, though.

never that shit is fucked

I can understand putting a few hundred into a really nice pair of shoes but I've never really understood the brand affiliation many people seem to have

When you tell the community something before it's absolutely confirmed (which only happens on release), you're either locked in to doing that thing in the way you said it (which means you can't iterate on it and improve it before release), or you have to disappoint a lot of people.

They probably just haven't had the opportunity to iterate on it yet. That may be fixed in the next major update, or maybe not (I do not know if they plan to do anything with the DDS)

You're never going to get information on future updates from valve. You can't promise those sorts of things in their position.

We certainly talked about some of the things you bring up but because I can't speak on them (my job is not to be a liaison) I won't speak on how they view those things.

My post's intent was solely to say that valve know what they're doing. If I wanted to share privileged information I would have.

A bit. All I can say is what b4nny said before: Valve won't do a major or sponsor a tournament unless it makes sense to do so. If people don't care about comp tf2, it doesn't make sense for Valve to be involved in it.

Sandwiches, nature valley bar, and a coke. They had other stuff too that I didn't eat. It was pretty good!

if I had I wouldn't talk about it to be honest

Basically all I'm saying is that Valve is way better at what they do than many people here seem to think.

This isn't necessarily anything new. I don't want to give the impression that "all of tf2's problems will go away!!" because that'll never happen. A "problem" is just something in tf2 that should be changed -- which every single patch does. I can't tell you which "problems" they care about, or what their solutions are -- but I can tell you that when they identify and prioritize a problem, they're really good at solving it.

Perhaps they don't solve it in the way you might want them to, but they don't seem to just make decisions for no reason.

What I mean is that Valve does care about competitive matchmaking -- my bad. That is, it's not something they're putting minimal effort into.

shit idk
