Joker's psychology colloquia part 3

Why TF2 makes us sad

All devoted fans of Team Fortress and TFC have experienced unending sorrow through Fortress history; when Quake's source code was released, the hackers which brought the death of QWTF, and the subsequent fragmenting of Fortress fans into the multitude of TF remakes like
TFC (and NeoTF)
Unreal Fortress
Quake 3 Fortress
Enemy Territory Fortress

Here's the important bit: The Team Fortress player base has been too fragmented for a long time, and now FF, TF2, and Q4F are just the next generation of this fragementation. We here, players of Fortress Forever, want more than anything to play the same gameplay which we had in TF and TFC. We view TF2 (and VALVe's advertizing budget) as the biggest threat to that type of gameplay, and that's what makes us so angry.

TF2 sez "all ur player base are belong to us!"

But TF2 is not Team Fortress. TF2 is Counter-Fortress.
