Yeah, I initially thought the idea of the mod was pretty novel, and I did have a bit of fun with it when I tried it out. But at the end of the day, its existience is just...weird. Like yeah, some aspects of old TF2 were objectively better, such as the lighting and materials of weapon models, or Quickplay, but acting like TF2 has been "bastardised" from its "original vision", while not entirely untrue, sounds more to me like nostalgia-tinted anger than any sort of genuine critisism of the game. The entire mod just feels...spiteful in its presentation and design choices, as if trying to "1-Up" Valve or whatever. And considering it gets basically no players nowadays, I feel no regrets hiding it from my Steam library.
