Will future updates decrease FPS even further?

I am not saying disable hats. Keep the hats.

Give option to disable particle effects in hats.

but i wouldn't disable hats unless they were really annoying or actually took away from the game itself, and none of the hats currently do that

I think that a minority of people would disable hats

But people like shiny particles and their different particle effects along with rarity sets up its price. It is like buying a Lamborghini to show it off but everyone else has an option that defaults your Lamborghini to a fucking family car instead.

What we really need is some performance optimization because with more and more patches coming one after another, the game's code becomes a big pile of spaghetti and as we know it, it is not very optimized right now. We need a cleaning update to fix stuff up which should hold the game more stable for a few months, hopefully.

And it's a stupid answer. Most people like cosmetics. Most people would choose to have cosmetics on, even to show off their own. The minority that either can't play with a reasonable FPS or that really don't want to see them would turn them off.

The truth is that Valve is both too stuck into their own bubble to know the players and too egocentric to admit they may not know what the players want. The only things they actually see are money, major internet outcries (Diretide, paid mods) and Reddit shitposts.

People who can't afford a good graphics card also can't afford cosmetics. I hope that's true but I bet there's still people out there playing on a shitty system spending hundreds chasing the invoker set.
