 Good evening. Last month I told the world loudly and boldly that TF2 was over in what was probably my most controversial video ever. I felt very confident that six years of radio silence from Valve, even in the face of a nationwide social media campaign, meant that they were intent on never working on the game again and that this massive content leak was probably the last drop of official Valve made TF2 material you or I would ever see. I honestly was trying to brace people for what I expected to be the game's dark ages. It wasn't just my opinion. Most veteran players were in agreement that the game's state was effectively abandoned, save for a mostly automated community content induction system, and that if save TF2 couldn't help it, nothing could. Well today, I'm left looking like a fool, okay? Today, I get to have egg on my face, because something just happened that really nobody saw coming. Valve just put out a blog post on the Team Fortress website with the absolutely ground shaking reveal that quote, The last few Team Fortress summer events have only been item updates, but this year, we're planning on shipping a full-on update-sized update with items, maps, taunts, unusual effects, war paints, and who knows what else. That's right, we have an announcement from Valve that for the first time in half a decade, a full-scale TF2 content update is coming that is not only going to be the biggest event the community has seen in years, but that their kind of hinting may or may not include new balance changes and new weapons. Valve is officially making a yet unnamed and unthemed, but still very exciting summer update for TF2, and if you've been in the TF2 community for any meaningful amount of time, you know how big of a deal that is. There is a huge number of people playing this game who have never actually seen a proper content update. It is going to be historical when this releases. Who knows, maybe this is the start of a second win for the game, and maybe soon we'll get some serious resolution on the bot crisis. Okay, I wouldn't hold my breath on that one, but without making this announcement, I wouldn't say anything is off the table. Of course, this announcement makes me look very stupid for that shitty video I made last month, but if me taking the L on that means we're getting another update and the game is finally getting more love again, then so be it. We are so fucking back!
