Team Fortress 2's player count doubles after fan pressure sees Valve step in with a bot-demolishing banwave and a firm line on appeals: 'No' (www.pcgamer.com)

Way back when TF2 was new, Valve put out heatmaps showing how their analytics tracked where players died in each level along with a bunch of other metrics. If that kind of data was public (or a major server collected their own data), I wonder what level of bots we'd have today.

I miss the old days of playing against Foxbot in the original Team Fortress. It sucks that bots are only used by cheaters/drop farmers these days instead of as an official way to pad out lobbies, or to let you play matches entirely single player.
