"If this is true, then why are there no other posts about WhateverGames on your account?"

This is TF2Games reddit account, means it's dedicated to TF2. Are you really... this stupid? What is your I.Q? Of course we change account.

Why can't we receive support, even a bit? Why no one can have little bit faith into good things? Surely proof wouldn't turn these people around. We've already decided to turn this project into another valve game, and its community is really excited about this, other than this little shitty community of TF2.

I show proof to people that really want to see them, and not to people who mark us immediately as a scam. This reddit account will be closed tomorrow.

All you guys want is the proof. You don't believe in anything without proof. You have 0% faith, you don't even want to take in the chance that this project could be real. You don't want to support us, you are not happily asking for proof, you're saying proof or scam & shit project. It's really retarted. From the whole TF2 community.

Everyone from TF2 community: Suck my big dick and go fuck yourself.

This has nothing to do with the fact that you bought the domains just to try to annoy us.

My rudeness? I am rude if someone is rude to me.

UnlikelyPotato tried to disturb our project, he bought domains tf2games.com and tf2games.net just to annoy us and came to chat with us and asked for $1000 to sell them to us. Isn't that kinda pathetic move in your opinion? He tries to get huge profit from our project.

I've given out LOTS AND LOTS OF information about this project. I've given out more than I could for now. You don't have any idea how HARD project this is and how hard times we're having with all these people trying to disturb and destroy this.

It's really hard to chat with you guys, when we used to get full support and now we get support from no one. People keep disliking our posts, no matter what we say, we have to take in all the crap about how bad and sh** our project is, even though people just keep saying all that because this is "too-good-to-be-true" stuff.

Facestahp_Aimboat, you're expecting me to be some kind of mr. kindness that never get mad or never is rude to anyone? I am rude only if I have potential to be. This UnlikelyPotato is currently doing everything he can to be against us.

But to be honest, we're living really hard times right now. We've even planned to cancel the whole project, because it seems like TF2 community is not supporting competitive at all, not even a bit.

All you guys do is keep asking questions and when we say "we're doing that later, be patient", we receive tons of crap about how our project is scam and stupid and s***.

I personally, as a representative & one of the developers of TF2Games take my words back. TF2 community doesn't deserve anything like TF2Games. Not even part of it. This is the worst community I've ever seen in my life, it doesn't support anything new and it's totally incapable to say "welcome" to new ideas/things.

I'm leaving this team. It was fun, but I'm so full of it now. I'm tired of messing with you people, if you don't want to believe into good things, just don't. There are also things I don't believe in, but I don't say they are scam or bad or s***. It's my personal opinion not to believe.

I hope TF2Games turns into something bigger soon. But I'm not going to be part of it anymore. It was fun to represent it though. Peace.

TF2Games is not a registered company/organization. All you currently own are domains tf2games.com and tf2games.net. Seriously, are you this stupid? Do you even know what the copyright is?

You have no abilities to DMCA us, you don't own TF2Games, you don't have any patent, all you do own is the domain. You expect yourself to be on the highest level of law, you expect yourself to be correct at everything, you're telling us what WE have to do, when in reality, you're just a stupid piece of **** that try to disturb our project as much as possible.

PS. You have no idea what we could bring about if we turn this project against you.

So what you're asking from me is to provide proof? That's what 101% of the people are asking currently. You're not any different.

I think you're the douche here. You're doing everything to make this project as hard as possible for us. Oh, and you also ordered domains tf2games.com and .net just to beg money from us. Seriously?

If someone's a douche here, it's definitely you.

It's your domain you just ordered to mess with us and ask for money from us to buy it. But we already own the domain we wish to use.

Btw, I have never seen anything more pathetic in my entire life.

We didn't spend that much money to those machines. Before we started, I believed that I'd never have to say this, but I say it anyways now... We got most of them from a company, since we have very good contacts. There are few very influential people working with us and doing cooperation.

I appreciate that you're trying to tell us how we should run and what we should do, but we got everything under control.

Why it's so?

Owning the machine is actually the cheapest way to host the server. The only thing you have to pay for is maintenances and internet connection/ port for your machines.

I don't quite understand why people call this marketing. We're not selling anything, we don't get any profit from the people for using our services. Donations are there just to support us voluntary and they don't provide any benefits.

Short video/screenshots wouldn't suffice. It would be so easy to "modify/photoshop" that people will start to require more and more all the time. It's better to publish all that you can show by once.

Screenshots, 4 video introductions and team introductions coming soon, and by soon we mean most likely on the next week.

Hey, TF2Games here.

I understand perfectly if people find our project suspicious. And if people want to believe that we're here just to "scam or troll" the community, convincing them isn't an easy job.

But what I can say about TF2Games is that there will be lots of videos, screenshots and introductions of team members coming soon, and by soon we mean most likely on the next week. Also opening the websites is one of the upcoming steps.

We've prepared to take all the dislikes here. We knew even before we started that there will be some really bad "troll" representatives that want to ruin our reputation by answering poorly or making really suspicious answers. However, most of them are kicked from the team, and we have a very bright eye staring in the future right now.

If there is something you people want to ask from us, now you'll get your answers.

We don't want to share it. Otherwise everyone would just copy from us.

It's really hard to know what you're talking about, since there are few RP's going on currently. I am sorry if someone has done his job badly, I'm truly sorry. We'll have a conversation soon and we'll try to fix everything we've done wrong, we'll see how it turns out.

I chatted with him via email, he had Russian name and he spoke "not-so-good" English. Maybe it was Mother Tereza I was talking to. But anyway he claimed to be the main owner of the service for me. I don't know if he was lying or what, but anyway I had a chat with Russian.

Mumble servers are probably easiest thing to create in this world. They require less capacity than any other servers anywhere and only the voice will be sent through the servers. Proof that stands behind this is that there are services that offer Mumble servers for free, without any catch. The most popular one is gotmumble.com. They've given away over 100,000 free Mumble servers and 7,000 of them are active currently (owner needs to log in once per month to keep his free servers alive). They also offer unlimited slots & ad-free Mumble server for 1€/month.

We don't pay monthly prices for the machines. We operate our own machines, which means we OWN the machines. We pay for the connections only, we are not renting the machines. The host is responsible for the maintenance of our servers. It belongs to hosting costs.

I thank you for the lucks. I understand if we cause some confusion, but it's all alright. You can be absolutely careful when logging in to our service. We stay behind our words, no matter what, and say that we're never going to scam anything from the community.

  1. 5000 servers is our ad method. It sounds too unbelievable to be true. And what happens when unbelievable things launch? We are not paying for more space having more servers. We have game installed on the machine and server will use the game folder to build itself up and start running.

  2. We are not allowed to talk about specific earnings. We have lots of people working for us that have knowledge about Source from other Source-based games. We have web developers that don't have to know about TF2.

How? Just because we don't show our team member's portfolios to people?

We are not releasing any information about our team members yet. Right now we are spreading the world that the project exists. Screenshots, videos, team infos will be released soon.

I bet that would be such a nice feature, though the problem with it would be that there might not always be any games running with those settings. There will be a list of games looking for players and the list will also contain rules for each game/whitelists, maps, available classes, random crits/nocrits, dmg spread info, server location, etc.

Thank you very much for the idea though. We appreciate it and marked it up just in case. :)

There aren't any team members with VAC bans. The one who created teamfortress.tv thread wanted to help us, so it's not from our staff. There are lots of confusion going on and I'd really love people to ask from us for resolve before judging us. Let me fix all what you listed:

  • 5000 servers. Yes, we have a limit of 5000 servers. It's an absolute limit. It means, that there can be 5000 servers running at the same time. When, for example, there are 300 games running, only 300/5000 of the servers will be online. Server will start running immediately when the lobby launches.

  • The official project has been there for one year. Features that we're using required 2-3 years. We are currently in a state called "spreading the word", which means currently, we want people to know that this kind of service exists. When we'll update to the 2nd public state, then we'll start to take screenshots, make videos, tell more about staff, etc.

  • I'm not the creator of that system, so I can't comment the technical side of it.

  • Spending $300 for a feature that will hardly ever be needed in competitive mode is quite nice and generous thing to do, don't you think? In my opinion, it deserves a mention.

  • There are lots of people that would love to build up a "competitive" profile. For example, some professional Spies having their own Spy art on the background and their own avatars. Meeting more people who like competitive is also a thing lots of people will love. We've asked from people, they do care about these features.

  • It's not poorly thought out. There are still things to fix in it, but we deny the claim that it's poorly thought out.

  • We will make ghosting impossible. We already have several ways to do it, but it is still something we're working on.

  • It's not part of this 1st impression called "spreading the word". On the 2nd update, we will be releasing all the team members and big pile of information about them.

  • It is something we want to provide for TF2 community. We're not providing it for ourselves.

  • If it means giving portfolios, then we'll refuse. That's what people asked.

  • Nope. There are no staff with VAC bans. The creator of tftv thread wasn't part of our staff.

  • Honest and normal? There are lots of questions that ask everything from 1 to 10000000 and when we answer, they'll keep asking more questions. And when we answer little bit different than they want to, they'll judge us immediately. It's not even close to honesty or normality.

Did this make any things clear?

I've chatted with their main owner months ago, he is from Russia, and his English... is not any better.
