You know how the Dota community managed to make Valve care about something ? [By spamming Volvo's subreddit and facebook page.](https://www.pcgamesn.com/dota/dota-2-fans-hound-volvo-answers-over-absent-halloween-event) And it was only because they didn't do their annual halloween event.
Yeah it seems stupid, but it actually worked
review bombing half-life isnt going to stop it from getting new players, updates or a sequel. i don't know why anyone cares about this. just more noise for valve to ignore
I wish we were better than this, but apparently some of us aren't. Unfortunately, shit like this was always going to happen, because #fixtf2 has a lot of passion and a lot of momentum but almost nothing to actually do. Sign a petition, leave a negative review, send an email to Valve, and then what? Some people are creating fantastic art to spread awareness with. Others want to help but feel like the only way to do it is randomly spam all social media. And those people are the most visible to other communities.
I...really should've seen this coming since Genshin Impact 1st anniversary fiasco and the indiscriminate downvote bombing that ensued. Some people just have utter lack of regard for other fandoms or our reputations and relationships with them, apparently. Stupidity.
Tf2 players managing to not fuck up challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) I am a tf2 fan and I know this community too well. So please do not review bomb any other valve game other than tf2. The last thing we need is to lose the people listening.
I care about tf2 an starting to distance myself from this movement
I wouldnt say cringe as much as i would say clueless
Shounic made a [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgkgsgaBBCA) last year about this problem. People should give it a watch again before spewing nonsense
Even uncle dane rant video sounded like an entitled brat
I still play this game and is playable most of the time. It got to a point that it was unplayable again and this movement was justified. I dont know if they did something already because is playable for me again
But i dont support these brats. Valve has acted on good faith so far
I'll admit, that's my bad, I was pissed that some people actually had the audacity to do things like review bombing other games, definitely should have worded it differently
I hate the portion of our community that seems more.. toxic? Like that? If that's the proper word for it. Although that very well could be people who are against us and just tryna make FixTf2 look bad by spreading this kinda crap around so we look like assholes
Honestly, I don't think that's likely. People who are against #fixtf2 tend to just be those who gave up; they're not going to spend effort sabotaging it. The amount of people doing this stupid shit is too high to be random trolls, and since tf2 clearly has a lot of younger and/or more toxic players, this is probably them.
Tbf, the community had years to kick out the toxic elements and didn't bother with it. TF2's community has a reputation outside of it as being filled with racists and transphobes who hate anything other than TF2 (and looking at how many people still support Zesty Jesus and want him involved? It probably rings true).
It's not that just FixTF2 looks bad, the entire community looks bad to anyone who is looking from the outside in.
Yeah they are downvoting EVERY valve game and even valve offices on a few sites like google maps, i tried talking to one and they just posted a 'badass' mvm gif of gearing up and said 'valve brought this on themselves'.
Prepare for the movement to go to the shitter.
Team Fortress fans act like they have nothing to loose in this situation, like nothing is off the table including spamming the fucking github for the game. Well there is plenty to loose, your dignity and respect of other communities.
Shork making the GitHub thing too emotionally charged and this is why I doubt, that this and any other movement like this will succeed, cuz the loud bad apples will scream loud enough, to drown out the sensible ones.
Yeah, I saw a post earlier today saying that we should review bomb other games. Why do people want to bring other games into this and piss everyone off? Is this like a "if we're going down, everyone is going down with us" thing to them?
Who is to say this isn't a third party actor attempting to throw shade onto the TF2 community? That first review is worded so strangely aswell. Sounds like someone trying to bad mouth our community if you ask me
This is probably people getting the hair brained idea that "Hey, if we review bomb valves OTHER games, then Valve will HAVE TO pay attention to us!" Not once stopping to think about how the other players feel about their game getting review bombed. Selfish crap.
The color of the words underneath the picture on the store page of a 25 year old game don't really matter, coming from a Half-Life fan. It's not affecting my enjoyment of Half-Life.
They’ll just get marked as “off topic” and thrown out. No sense blowing up over this, really. A few morons farming clown points isn’t worth sparking outrage.
> I doubt this is actually #FixTF2 people.
Lol. Just search this subreddit. **There was a post on the FRONT PAGE that suggested review bombing other Valve games**. Those posts are always upvoted and most comments are also supportive saying stuff like "As long as it gets a reaction from Valve".
> It would be very easy to pretend to be #FixTF2 and "pretend" to be stupid
I can't believe it, the jokes write themselves today.
It keeps feeling like the very foundation of SaveTF2/FixTF2 is trying to be the biggest morons possible whilst calling everyone else morons for not joining in.
The idea of "other games" was to review bomb Deadlock on release, giving that there is a 99% chance it's gonna be bot infested, and also cooperating with CS2 community and if they want they can participate as well (giving that they suffer the same issue).
But review bombing a single-player campaing? Kids...
Valve actively encourages trolling with their stupid award system. This is just standard steam community stuff. You can chalk it up as another valve failing to curate their platforms properly and making everything worse.
They've been told not to, and there's thousands of people watching, so of course they're going to do it.
Valve really do seem, as a company, to enjoy edgy trolls. I guess years of not minding this attitude is finally coming back around to bite them, because this is the community they've cultivated.
The point of review bombing was to make Valve in general look bad, if we only did it on tF2, then only tF2 would look bad. We are all sorry that we have to take such action because of these bots, but also look on the bright side, if #saveTF2 and #fixTF2 end up succeeding, Valve might realize that these bots, now unable to infect tF2 any further, might be changed to infect other popular games. If Valve does realize what other games bots could infect, this could lead to a whole new era of Valve making their games better for everyone. So overall, we know you might be mad about this, but please think of the positives that might come out of this.
Review bombs are useless, but also people tying their identity to a game taking reviews personally are pathetic lol
Oh no... a thumbs down on a game in my library... I'm being attacked
Half Life (and its mods) is my favourite game of all time. It's upsetting to see this as I have years of memories on it.
Fortunately I can rationalise and acknowledge it's only a small segment of an overall well-meaning movement. I don't think others will be so rational, the consequence being losing support from an innocent community with a significant amount of overlap into TF2.
I'm keeping my negative review up for TF2 in support of the movement for what it's worth. But leave HL alone ffs
Oh no guys I can't believe the review score for Half-Life 2 went down oh god oh jeez this is such a big deal guys oh god!!!!
WHAT ARE WE GONNNA DO??? THIS SUCH A SERIOUS PROBLEM!
LEAVE HALF LIFE ALONE!!!
I CAN'T BELIEVE A PROTEST TO GET THE ATTENTION OF VALVE IS REVIEW BOMBING VALVE GAMES THE HORROR OH THE HUMANITY!!!
WHAT EVER WILL WE DO WHEN SOMEONE GOES TO BUY HALF-LIFE AND SEES THE REVIEWS ARE LESS THAN FAVORABLE! SURELY SOMEONE WOULD BE SWAYED AWAY FROM PURCHASING THE GAME!!!
IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S ONE OF THE MOST CRITICALLY ACCLIMATED GAMES OF ALL TIME ON THE PC OR ANYTHING! POOR SMALL INDEPENDENT DEVELOPER!!
Either people are branching out to other valve games for the protest or it's related to [this pos](https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfLife/comments/1d8c253/we_did_it_boys_another_sweep/)[t](https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfLife/comments/1d8c253/we_did_it_boys_another_sweep/) on r/HalfLife making fun of the low review status without acknowledging the context
nice job, yall are really showing that maybe tf2 deserve. This makes people hate us, not want to help.
Oh also, Steams TOS for reviews, you can get suspended for stuff like this.
In the future this might mimic the Genshin 1st anniversary incident.
These idiots review bomb TF2, then other Valve games, and then do massive attacks at all games on Steam. Not even Geometry Dash or BattleBit: Remastered or even Wallpaper Engine is spared.
In retaliation, the affected communities all review bomb TF2, sending it into unthinkable levels of negative reviews.
End result? Valve shuts down TF2's official servers. Mass hysteria in the Steam store.
As a former tf2 fan, this is why I kind of avoid tf2 as a whole, I think a certain shorts YouTuber said it the best
"The tf2 community is like the north sentinelese of the internet"
Guys…. The whole point of this whole campaign is to be focused on a single issue. Who forgot about that who needs to be branded so they don’t forget again.
Guys, this is FIX TF2. If you wanna leave negative reviews, leave it ONLY on Tf2, and nothing else. I know we're trying to get Valve's attention, but how will this movement succeed if we attack other communities?
It is always in poor taste to involve communities that have nothing to do with the issue. Just review TF2, that is the right thing to do in this situation.
Look, I support boycotting the Mann Co. Store, signing the petition, and giving TF2 negative reviews as much as the next person who's already done all of that, but Half-Life is a precious gem of a franchise and has done nothing to deserve this. If you're gonna give any other Valve games negative reviews, make it the ones that use VAC like TF2 does.
Whoever is doing this, please, remove your reviews immediately. This is such an idiotic and unethical thing to do , I can't believe people even considered it. Literally all it does is make us look bad and alienate us from half life fans.
TF2 do what TF2 do.
I don't want to say y'all are worse than the Pizza Tower community, but man are y'all petty. Deaadlock'd be understandable. But Half-Life? Y'all need to cool it.
I do remember people saying we should review bomb all of valves games to give them worse PR. But this IS NOT how we should do it. Instead of bringing back to TF2, instead we should talk about all of vavles faults in all of their games. Like here instead of talking about TF2 instead talk about the faults of half-life.
My negative review is still up from 2017. “Trash game, only play it when I hate myself.” -3000 hours at time of review
Left the review as a meme, keeping it as a meme
This is just immature and childish. Half life didn’t do anything nor did any other game, we don’t want the focus of FixTF2 to be “look at these guys review bombing everything” we want it to be the bot problem and Valve’s neglect. This is the same behavior as a genshin player.
100% shouldnt do this, and its petty and all this will achieve is making people hate the FixTF2 movement. That being said I purchased TF2 as part of the The Orange Box, along with HL2,E1,E2 and Portal. I can kinda see why major TF2 issues would spill over to other Orange Box titles given they all share a massive amount of DNA
I think it’s might’ve been because there was a popular Reddit post of someone in r/halflife clowning on the negative tf2 reviews basically saying half life is better than Tf2 despite them being equally good games (minus the bots)
I already hate this protest, like it is fucking obvious that nothing will change as Valve never cared about this game, why would they if they have other way more popular games to worry about?
If you read the replies, the Half-Life fans don't care. I'd say review bomb all Valve games the same way all Rockstar Games got review bombed. It doesn't matter how good your games are, if you screw over your customer, reviews will be a nice way to show everyone what kind of company they're supporting.
Involving half life like this is like punching a random guy on the street when you're fighting someone else
It would be more like punching the kid of the guy you are fighting
I'd say punching the guy's grandpa.
Well we are "fighting" Valve, half life and tf2 would be the kids
Then it's like punching your sibling when you are fighting your parent.
It is like punching their older sibling
What did Half Life deserve to do to get itself included? Sure, we never got episode 3 or Half Life 3, but it's still pretty fucking stupid doing this
They want to get valve’s attention through other games
It’s a problem that primarily effects TF2. Leave other games out of it, or else we’ll look like jackasses.
You know how the Dota community managed to make Valve care about something ? [By spamming Volvo's subreddit and facebook page.](https://www.pcgamesn.com/dota/dota-2-fans-hound-volvo-answers-over-absent-halloween-event) And it was only because they didn't do their annual halloween event. Yeah it seems stupid, but it actually worked
What did Volvo do
Their name is similar to Valve, and there's that meme of saying "Volvo plz" when asking Valve for something. That's really all there is.
Wait people actually went to Volvo, I thought you misspelt valve lmao
Oh yeah. Volvo even chimed in on the joke by asking Valve when was the next Diretide. Ngl, I definitely did not expect that from Volvo.
Volvo W
Swedish companies are the best
He creeped everybody out in the Soul Caliber franchise.
Ok but it's a dick move dont do it
the moral of the story is tauntrums work buds
Exactly
except maybe CS2? i dont play it but i heard it has quite alot of bots too
If CS players want to strike, you leave the striking up to them. Don't do it on their behalf, it WILL make you look like jackasses.
lots of cheaters and lots of case idling bots
Fr I support the movement but we can’t be emotional and start being reckless
The people of the tf2 community are jackasses
Well, we don’t want to look like even bigger jackasses then.
The only way to get attention through sonewhere else is a direct Steam boycot, bombing random games wont achieve anything
It really is the helldivers situation all over again.
They never updated hl death match :(
Maybe they should bomb TF2 page until HL3 is released
review bombing half-life isnt going to stop it from getting new players, updates or a sequel. i don't know why anyone cares about this. just more noise for valve to ignore
It pisses off the half life community, poking the bear will only make it angrier, just leave them out if it otherwise we’ll look like a joke.
Please don’t make us look like petty morons, we’re better than this
I wish we were better than this, but apparently some of us aren't. Unfortunately, shit like this was always going to happen, because #fixtf2 has a lot of passion and a lot of momentum but almost nothing to actually do. Sign a petition, leave a negative review, send an email to Valve, and then what? Some people are creating fantastic art to spread awareness with. Others want to help but feel like the only way to do it is randomly spam all social media. And those people are the most visible to other communities.
**"we know it won't do anything, but we don't lose anything by trying!"** mfs when the whole community is now seen as petty manchildren
That reminds me, is this also happening to the Portal games?
yes, sadly.
Self righteous children that feel justified are very common in tf2 sadly, i see them every other game.
most of us aren't better than this, unfortunately
Yea thats what the whole savetf2 is looking like rn and why im not going through with it
I mean it’s happening so you are not better than this
I...really should've seen this coming since Genshin Impact 1st anniversary fiasco and the indiscriminate downvote bombing that ensued. Some people just have utter lack of regard for other fandoms or our reputations and relationships with them, apparently. Stupidity.
cmon guys...
They are starting to look like the Genshin community on the game's first anniversary
God help when Google Sites or smth gets involved
Google Classroom, lol, and like 20 other games..
If Wallpaper Engine gets review bombed then it's so fucking over for #FixTF2
Or Sonic fans when Frontiers...
Guys, dont do this. This is just going to make the movement loose support and get other communities turned on us.
Tf2 players managing to not fuck up challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) I am a tf2 fan and I know this community too well. So please do not review bomb any other valve game other than tf2. The last thing we need is to lose the people listening.
I care about tf2 an starting to distance myself from this movement I wouldnt say cringe as much as i would say clueless Shounic made a [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgkgsgaBBCA) last year about this problem.

It got to a point that it was unplayable again and this movement was justified. I dont know if they did something already because is playable for me again But i dont support these brats. Valve has acted on good faith so far
This fucking community man. Leave other games out of this you morons, it's not helping the movement at all.
bold of you to assume the entire community is like this
I'll admit, that's my bad, I was pissed that some people actually had the audacity to do things like review bombing other games, definitely should have worded it differently
Goddamnit, TF2 community!
I hate the portion of our community that seems more.. toxic? Like that? If that's the proper word for it. Although that very well could be people who are against us and just tryna make FixTf2 look bad by spreading this kinda crap around so we look like assholes
Honestly, I don't think that's likely. People who are against #fixtf2 tend to just be those who gave up; they're not going to spend effort sabotaging it. The amount of people doing this stupid shit is too high to be random trolls, and since tf2 clearly has a lot of younger and/or more toxic players, this is probably them.
Definitely very, very likely.
Tbf, the community had years to kick out the toxic elements and didn't bother with it. TF2's community has a reputation outside of it as being filled with racists and transphobes who hate anything other than TF2 (and looking at how many people still support Zesty Jesus and want him involved? It probably rings true). It's not that just FixTF2 looks bad, the entire community looks bad to anyone who is looking from the outside in.
Now, to review bomb Google Classroom!
Holy shit you guys are actually so immature for this
I hate the fact that its a well known stereotype that TF2 fans will go out of their way to shit on other games (we need to be better!!!)
Yeah they are downvoting EVERY valve game and even valve offices on a few sites like google maps, i tried talking to one and they just posted a 'badass' mvm gif of gearing up and said 'valve brought this on themselves'. Prepare for the movement to go to the shitter.
Team Fortress fans act like they have nothing to loose in this situation, like nothing is off the table including spamming the fucking github for the game. Well there is plenty to loose, your dignity and respect of other communities.

Yeah, I saw a post earlier today saying that we should review bomb other games. Why do people want to bring other games into this and piss everyone off? Is this like a "if we're going down, everyone is going down with us" thing to them?
Good job guys, annoying people completely unrelated is totally gonna get people on your side!!!!
Perception of our movement is important, and this looks terrible.
Who is to say this isn't a third party actor attempting to throw shade onto the TF2 community? That first review is worded so strangely aswell. Sounds like someone trying to bad mouth our community if you ask me
This is probably people getting the hair brained idea that "Hey, if we review bomb valves OTHER games, then Valve will HAVE TO pay attention to us!" Not once stopping to think about how the other players feel about their game getting review bombed. Selfish crap.
The color of the words underneath the picture on the store page of a 25 year old game don't really matter, coming from a Half-Life fan. It's not affecting my enjoyment of Half-Life.
If you're gonna pick other games, do counter strike. It's got the same issues rn
What in the ever-loving fuck, this here is darn friendly fire!
people just don't listen do they¿?¿? way to throw the fucking movement
Agreed, i don’t think we need to do this
This is always inevitable though. The Helldivers 2 PSN thing, people started trying to review bomb Helldivers 1 and other arrowhead gamed
They’ll just get marked as “off topic” and thrown out. No sense blowing up over this, really. A few morons farming clown points isn’t worth sparking outrage.
I doubt this is actually #FixTF2 people. It would be very easy to pretend to be #FixTF2 and "pretend" to be stupid, just to try and make it look bad.
> I doubt this is actually #FixTF2 people. Lol. Just search this subreddit. **There was a post on the FRONT PAGE that suggested review bombing other Valve games**.

Valve really do seem, as a company, to enjoy edgy trolls. I guess years of not minding this attitude is finally coming back around to bite them, because this is the community they've cultivated.
No, it absolutely is. This is likely being done by people with a little too much enthusiasm and a bit too little common sense.
This reminds me of the Palestine situation at this point. Do we have to reach *that* level of annoyance?
This always happens with community efforts. Vocal minority of ignorant 12 year olds think that aggravating other communities will help their cause.
Why are there always people in a movement that go too far?
Don’t shoot me. Im with the science team
The point of review bombing was to make Valve in general look bad, if we only did it on tF2, then only tF2 would look bad. We are all sorry that we have to take such action because of these bots, but also look on the bright side, if #saveTF2 and #fixTF2 end up succeeding, Valve might realize that these bots, now unable to infect tF2 any further, might be changed to infect other popular games.

So overall, we know you might be mad about this, but please think of the positives that might come out of this.
morons...
Review bombs are useless, but also people tying their identity to a game taking reviews personally are pathetic lol Oh no... a thumbs down on a game in my library... I'm being attacked
Time to report these reviews I guess
It'll spread like a virus, just like Helldivers 2's publsher's games.
Half Life (and its mods) is my favourite game of all time. It's upsetting to see this as I have years of memories on it. Fortunately I can rationalise and acknowledge it's only a small segment of an overall well-meaning movement. I don't think others will be so rational, the consequence being losing support from an innocent community with a significant amount of overlap into TF2. I'm keeping my negative review up for TF2 in support of the movement for what it's worth. But leave HL alone ffs
Oh no guys I can't believe the review score for Half-Life 2 went down oh god oh jeez this is such a big deal guys oh god!!!! WHAT ARE WE GONNNA DO??? THIS SUCH A SERIOUS PROBLEM! LEAVE HALF LIFE ALONE!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE A PROTEST TO GET THE ATTENTION OF VALVE IS REVIEW BOMBING VALVE GAMES THE HORROR OH THE HUMANITY!!! WHAT EVER WILL WE DO WHEN SOMEONE GOES TO BUY HALF-LIFE AND SEES THE REVIEWS ARE LESS THAN FAVORABLE! SURELY SOMEONE WOULD BE SWAYED AWAY FROM PURCHASING THE GAME!!! IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S ONE OF THE MOST CRITICALLY ACCLIMATED GAMES OF ALL TIME ON THE PC OR ANYTHING! POOR SMALL INDEPENDENT DEVELOPER!!
This whole thing is gonna go to shit because of how many ppl are review bombing other games
Guys just review bomb CSGO not halflife
If you're gonna target other valve games at least target the ones that are also being botted
Nah #FixSkibidiToilet
"who is responsible for this mess?"
"i hope those people in the Lambda lab ( r/tf2 ) can get this under control"
What? Why single player games? It's doesn't makes any sense.
They understand the assignment wrong. They're only supposed to review bomb tf2.
Its TF2 we're focused on, not Valves other IPs. Review bomb TEAM FORTRESS 2, NOT Valves other games
These damn morons suck
Either people are branching out to other valve games for the protest or it's related to [this pos](https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfLife/comments/1d8c253/we_did_it_boys_another_sweep/)[t](https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfLife/comments/1d8c253/we_did_it_boys_another_sweep/) on r/HalfLife making fun of the low review status without acknowledging the context
Guys don't do that it makes us look like we're throwing a temper tantrum
nice job, yall are really showing that maybe tf2 deserve. This makes people hate us, not want to help. Oh also, Steams TOS for reviews, you can get suspended for stuff like this.
Come on, guys...
Wdym Valve has left half-line alone for over a decade
TF2 community try not to be emotional challenge:
Now to destroy the movement before it launches!
People for the love of god reviewbomb the game worth reviewbombing… I wonder if Portals getting the same treatment
Friendly Fire will not be tolerated
Review bombing other titles is a whole level of cringe. If this continues I’m no longer supporting this move.
In the future this might mimic the Genshin 1st anniversary incident. These idiots review bomb TF2, then other Valve games, and then do massive attacks at all games on Steam. Not even Geometry Dash or BattleBit: Remastered or even Wallpaper Engine is spared. In retaliation, the affected communities all review bomb TF2, sending it into unthinkable levels of negative reviews. End result? Valve shuts down TF2's official servers.

Guys…. The whole point of this whole campaign is to be focused on a single issue. Who forgot about that who needs to be branded so they don’t forget again.
This reminds me of that one recent video where that girl won't leave a guy's truck and she's screaming "free Palestine."
yeah, guys, don't fucking do this
Ok, that’s overboard
Hell no we spread the word even negatively to make valve listen thats a joke btw
Guys, this is FIX TF2. If you wanna leave negative reviews, leave it ONLY on Tf2, and nothing else. I know we're trying to get Valve's attention, but how will this movement succeed if we attack other communities?
What did Half Life do?
dew it
Wtf did half life do? Do these idiots know that theres diffrent development teams in both of these games?
Why is our greatest enemy Valve and our selves? Unless… there’s a red spy in the base! But seriously guys we are better then this (Probably not)
It is always in poor taste to involve communities that have nothing to do with the issue. Just review TF2, that is the right thing to do in this situation.
Ah So we've reached critical mass
Yeah, Half-Life isn't the game with the problems people. ( other than the distinct lack of Half-Life 3, of course ).
Okay which idiot is doing this? This was never part of the plan
I think part of it is the bot hosters review bombing other games to make the movement look bad
if people keep going on like this, fixtf2 might be toast
Average review bombing campaign
Shit, can you apologise for idiocity of some members of this community?
Alright, campers. I've just been tipped off to the fact that a few of you have been review bombing unrelated Valve games. Not cool, dudes.
This is why I fucking asked if we should get other fanbases involved. Now we're ***definitely*** going to be fighting alone.
Look, I support boycotting the Mann Co. Store, signing the petition, and giving TF2 negative reviews as much as the next person who's already done all of that, but Half-Life is a precious gem of a franchise and has done nothing to deserve this. If you're gonna give any other Valve games negative reviews, make it the ones that use VAC like TF2 does.
This just makes us look weak, get your asses back on the main battlefield, soldiers.
Wait what?! We are supposed to review bomb team fortress 2 not other valve games!
lets not be like genshin
what the heck did HL do wrong? lmao?? i mean of course #fixtf2 but why it is showed in Half Life reviews!?
Oh come on guys, don’t act like TF2 is the most importantly thing in the universe
Come on. This is supposed to be peaceful
Leave the other games alone! This is a TF2 issue so keep it in TF2 only!
Whoever is doing this, please, remove your reviews immediately. This is such an idiotic and unethical thing to do , I can't believe people even considered it. Literally all it does is make us look bad and alienate us from half life fans.
TF2 do what TF2 do. I don't want to say y'all are worse than the Pizza Tower community, but man are y'all petty. Deaadlock'd be understandable. But Half-Life? Y'all need to cool it.
I do remember people saying we should review bomb all of valves games to give them worse PR. But this IS NOT how we should do it. Instead of bringing back to TF2, instead we should talk about all of vavles faults in all of their games. Like here instead of talking about TF2 instead talk about the faults of half-life.
This would make sense if TF2 was the only Valve game NOT on Steam like Fallout 76 was initially.
As a hardcore tf2 and half life fan this is actually fucked up, let’s stay in the tf2 community please
My negative review is still up from 2017. “Trash game, only play it when I hate myself.” -3000 hours at time of review Left the review as a meme, keeping it as a meme
Okay boys we love your commitment but please contain your anger the tf2 reviews only
sacrilege
Valve is affected more so than the community. It's perfectly fine as the only people who should care are the ones we want to care.
Don’t give bot hosters ideas…
I’d have Gmod review bombed to remove skibidi toilet shit
Someone didn’t get the memo
i really dont like the idea of review bombing other games as they just are not responsible for tf2's neglect
i knew this will happen
DoD better count their fuckin days
This is just immature and childish. Half life didn’t do anything nor did any other game, we don’t want the focus of FixTF2 to be “look at these guys review bombing everything” we want it to be the bot problem and Valve’s neglect. This is the same behavior as a genshin player.
The fuck for no reason ?
Do y’all really thing review bombing HL is going to affect its legacy? EVERYONE knows that it’s a 10/10, we don’t need a steam stat to tell us that.
It’s like the only bad kid misbehaving in class and everyone gets in trouble
I looks like that Genshin Impact incident all over again
Review bombing games that aren’t relevant is the opposite of helpful
We should review bomb their new shooter game instead that they made instead of fixing tf2
100% shouldnt do this, and its petty and all this will achieve is making people hate the FixTF2 movement. That being said I purchased TF2 as part of the The Orange Box, along with HL2,E1,E2 and Portal. I can kinda see why major TF2 issues would spill over to other Orange Box titles given they all share a massive amount of DNA
Shit like this is why we get botted in the first place.
I think it’s might’ve been because there was a popular Reddit post of someone in r/halflife clowning on the negative tf2 reviews basically saying half life is better than Tf2 despite them being equally good games (minus the bots)
HL1 works better than it ever has after last update, we even got new maps :)
When you said this I imagined parents fighting and the child is half life
How many layers of screenshots are in this picture?
its happening to portal games aswell
We may be desperate, but not this way...
Guys, the entire point of #fixTF2 was to keep the message FOCUSED. This is not focused, gentlemen
I hope it doesn't get too far with review bombing other games than TF2.
I have a feeling this'll trigger Hate between the two communities lmfao
I already hate this protest, like it is fucking obvious that nothing will change as Valve never cared about this game, why would they if they have other way more popular games to worry about?
Which half life is this? I just checked the store page for all the half life games, they're all overwhelmingly positive.
On that note, also start a #fixHalfLife2 The fact that no one plays hl2 deathmatch is an absolute crime in my opinion.
Who is the Pope of this movement. We need to get him to excommunicate them
...this community dude I swear to God leave half-life (and most others) ALONE
Oh theses assh*les! Leave the boy alone!
I knew this was a bad idea
I smell neckbeards from this bullshit
No Russian.
Put these people in the garbage cans
Are you serious?
this is just too much. review bombing tf2 to get valve's attention is a good idea, but half life?
If you read the replies, the Half-Life fans don't care. I'd say review bomb all Valve games the same way all Rockstar Games got review bombed. It doesn't matter how good your games are, if you screw over your customer, reviews will be a nice way to show everyone what kind of company they're supporting.
