I was deep into TF2 back when it was one of the only games on my Steam account thanks to it being f2p. I enjoyed my time with it for a few years before I fell out of it. Now I kinda only come back every once in a while for the occasional community Mann vs Machine events from Potato which are really fun. Given the current situation which is likely never getting fully fixed you kinda just have to make the most of it if you want to keep playing the game.
