Death of An Artstyle

  Since this is popular again: I still agree with this video, I don&apos;t regret making it. In hindsight, I think the modern art style is a mix of both valve poorly planning things AND valve intentionally lifting their own restrictions for the sake of player expression. I don&apos;t like that people see this video and forget that second part. Mostly because I hadn&apos;t considered it when making the video. <br><br>I don&apos;t &quot;walk back&quot; any of my points, I just find awful loadouts more funny than upsetting today.

  If you made this today you would have been brushed off and deemed a fun hater.

  FUNKe in 2017: Tf2&apos;s artstyle makes no sense.<br><br>Tf2 in 2020: You can now play as Foreskin.

  Original TF2 artstyle: Clean, describes the character function, easy to reconize a class and team<br>TF2 now: a cluster of gags that lost the punchline

  How to fix it:<br><br><br>Give me a tickbox that lets me disable all of the hats and other cosmetics clientside visually.

  You know, it is a trend I have seen in Free to Play games. As the game gets older, the devs have to push the boundaries in order to continue selling stuff and thus making the game self sufficient. World of Tanks used to have mostly real vehicles; Team Fortress 2 had little cosmetics, and they were very restrained; War Thunder&apos;s cut off date was supposed to be the Korean War. And so on and so on...

  I recently started playing TF2 again after a ~2 year break and when I saw the Banana Hat I just said outloud &quot;what the fuck is that?&quot;

  I hope they never fix the Hazmat Headcase. The only reason I still have it is because I can wear it on Sniper and anyone I kill is forced to look at my complete abomination of a mercenary.
