A lot of people, with a lot of problems still play this game.

In my 10+ years of playing this game, the developers and certain server admins contributed to the demise and destruction of an otherwise excellent Source mod that had stood the test of time with a dedicated player base and loaded weekend servers full of regular faces.

Essentially every update that was introduced into the game with the new development team made the game worse and worse. Breaking all sorts of functionality, breaking balancing that had been in place for YEARS, and introducing extreme censorship and political views into an otherwise free community. Censoring players, banning long known users for no reason, all over personal politics and dramas.

What was left of a slowly decaying player base has been squashed, and now there are long periods throughout the day that has effectively no players online. The game has finally entered into the final stage of dying... As much as I regret it, I'm glad this is coming to an end, along with its awful community and borderline disgraceful development team.

Absolute cash grab scam, don't waste your time.

Turned into a cash grab, riddled with Micro- Transactions.
