SaveTF2, FixTF2, and How to Handle Valve
May 26th is right around the corner. #savetf2 is almost 2 years old. Things have changed for Team Fortress 2 - some for the better, but most for the worst.
The community is at wit's end with Valve, as seen with the #fixtf2 posts. If a positive movement promoting the joy that TF2 brought didn't get the devs to fix their game, then what will? Let's come up with a few campaigning strategies and see if any are viable.
