A lot of people were afraid Overwatch would somehow wholly absorb the playerbase of TF2 or it least cripple it. But its presence made TF2 afraid and made the game think it had to change to compete. Gun Mettle ruined the spirit of TF2. Focus changed from silly fun to better balance changes, a terrible competitive mode, an 'esports' server browser that took out the old hand drawn depictions of game modes, changing how official servers ran from being time based to giving either side a best out of three count as if people care about the score and not playing the game. TF2 ended up destroying itself. Now it's just bots.

TF2 killed TF2 long before OW was a thing.

literally zombies

But as I alluded to in my OP, TF2 did not die a playerbase death, but a spiritual death.

I stopped playing it shortly after the mannconomy and f2p updates that put mtx into the game and turned it into a game as a service thing. It seemed like they were just set on putting a bunch of trash into the game for the sake of having things for people to buy rather than it improving the actual game itself.

Maybe I should install again just so I can see how recognizable it is compared to when I played before

People still randomly add me on Steam to try and get me to trade my Sunbeams Hound Dog. Ain't happening.
