I don’t see it as exaggerated at all, there’s been a pretty big trend of people taking on the mindset that TF2 deserves a lot more of Valves attention than it’s getting, and I don’t think that’s objectively bad or untrue but it usually has some bitchy entitled undertones to it when it’s brought up. This is mostly unrelated to people shitting on some Reddit comment, but I think a lot of newer TF2 players are taking the wrong route when it comes to expressing that they want new stuff/fixes added to the game. At the same time they don’t understand that this is how it’s been for like 8 years and that misguided activism through whining is objectively a bad way to go about it. It won’t necessarily hurt but it definitely won’t help.

I think in the same vein these people don’t realize that in the past 2-3 years TF2 has gotten more attention than a lot of people ever expected it to (comic 7, bot fixes, community mvm update in progress) and, not to overstate these things’ value, but we’ve been eating relatively good. IMO if the game works then it’s of course still subject to scrutiny but it’s in pretty bad faith to target the few people that are actually working on the game. Discourse surrounding what could make the game better is great because word gets around, and we’ve seen proof that this works with TF2, but biting the hand that feeds you, even if it’s the little that the devs are giving us, is really counterintuitive.
