I know this isn't all that related to Death Battle, but...I just really need to say this.
The crisis Team Fortress 2 is going through is just saddening to see.
I know no one really knows this about me, but I actually got my start as Salty Gibus through TF2, a game with so much charm and comedy, alongside just genuinely fun gameplay. I can remember playing it online at a friend's house, just having fun setting up Sentries and moving super fast as Scout. Carrying me through the long summers as I made and lost friends. Going on community servers and being astonished by the sheer scale of things--even something as simple as watching now famous videos like 'Team Fabulous 2', 'End of the Line" or 'Pootis Engage'!
And seeing how absolutely harmful the situation has gotten, where bots are rampant and people are genuinely trying to commit crimes just to keep cheating in this silly game where guns and violence can coexist with peace and congas...it lit a fire under me, I suppose.
I won't let it die. WE can't let it die.
Sure, Death Battle and TF2 aren't exactly the closest fanbases or franchises--but these are people just trying to keep a legend of a series alive. A community trying to stay together despite corporate abandonment in all but name.
I know we can understand that feeling of desperation, of uncertainty.
As both a Death Battle and TF2 fan, I won't take this lying down. Today, people are posting a singular message. A unified message that no one can mistake. As a community whose had our own share of fear for our favorite series' fate, I hope, at least for now, you can help do your part and carry on this message.
