Why did we abandon this?
self hosting servers is antisemitic
because modern gamers are stupid with an attention span of 1 ms
>>736350202I never did, every time I wanted to play tf2 with my brother I dropped him a random server IP i found on the browser
>>736350202Easier to press the big button and wait. Normies will always choose the most convenient solution
>>736350202matchmaking is fairer, you dont have to fight to get into a non dead server
We didn't, companies did
>>736350202doesn't valve still do it that way?
>>736350202You will not have control on what server you play on you fucking chud
>join random community server >immediately kicked unprompted by trooncord clique that rules it many such cases
>>736350202People got too good at reverse engineering discrete dedicated server binaries which made datamining possible, cheating easier, and in some cases made player's systems vulnerable to exploits.When hosted microservices gained popularity developers realized they could build elastic service architectures with no code exposed to the end user without breaking the bank on server racks.
>>736351572>you will not say "nigger nigger nigger"
>>736350532No, they ban you and your Steam profile instantly upon entering TF2 after they added a report button a year and a half ago and if you accidentally call someone a "he" because they sound male. https://streamable.com/fh0sr3
>>736351958You are being dishonest, they actively search all of your online profiles upon you joining a server, these are the same NPCs that also have "shinigami eyes", an app for tracking "chuds" and putting them on a list.
>>736350202For microtransactions. Hosted servers can mod and skip paying microtransactions.
>>736352476maybe don't be a bigot?
>>736350202I don't want to join troon servers
>>736350202We didn't.Both cases are still possible and neither are a bad thing.Not our fault if you play shit game where playing online feel like a chore.You can blame esport&compet-fag for matchmaking that are made to trick players into remaining on the server match after match after match after match... with a 50-50 win-rate. Companies learned long ago to hack players behavior.But it's not like server-choices alternative has much merit unless game can be personalized with specific choice like "team kill allowed" or "map X only" (way to reveal your other map are considered boring).
>join server with the most female sounding names Every time
>>736352551>these are the same NPCs that also have "shinigami eyes", an app for tracking "chuds" and putting them on a list.>look it up>it's realwtf?
>>736352551>"shinigami eyes", an app for tracking "chuds" and putting them on a list.And (You) thought the worst list you could be on would be the "Feds".
