The fledgling team responded to the Fortress 2 community movement to defend Valve’s mega-boat problem, assuring players that it is “working things out”.
In a tweet today from the official Team Fortress 2 account, Wolff said, “TF2 community, we’re asking you! We love this game and we know you do too. We are seeing how big this problem is and we are working to improve things.” This is the first tweet from the account since July 2020 (not counting a single retweet from an official Valve tweet since October 2020).
TF2 community, we ask you! We love this game and you know it. We’re seeing how big this problem has become and we’re working on making things better.

This is in response to the hashtag #SaveTF2, which has been adopted by the Team Fortress 2 community over the past few days to draw attention to the massive swiping issue that has been occurring in the game since 2020. This hashtag is widely accepted. Team Fortress contains 2 banners and eDescribed as a “peaceful” struggle About the state of the game. Boat Infection has popped up on the regular servers of Team Fortress 2 with spam, flawless snipers, and recently bots that can disrupt the entire game or plan a joint kick from human players. Earlier, community leaders organized an email campaign to reach Valve and the media, highlighting the problem.
Although individuals who use the hashtag #SaveTF2 may have different motives, most believe that the group is gaining some level of approval from Valve. Others believe that the updated focus on Team Fortress 2 will result in the game getting regular updates again as the larger community is still interested. For over a decade, Team Fortress 2 has been incredibly popular and has played between 70,000 to 90,000 simultaneously every month for the past year.
At the moment it is not clear what improvements have been made to the Wolverine cover, but we hope that they can bring Team Fortress 2 to a more stable level.
