    Within my own personal circle, I’m pretty sure it’s because Overwatch imploded. Most of us saw it as the spiritual successor to TF2 and got really invested because it was pushing the genre forward. As OW2 slowly shat itself, everyone kind of just split off and fell into mourning. Now that it’s been around a decade I think we’ve collectively begun feeling that nostalgic itch and are steadily coalescing back around TF2.

      Yeah that’s me lol.

      OW came out, I couldn’t get it for 8-10 months, I was already playing TF2 a bit so I went hard until I could buy OW and barely touched TF2 again for a few years.

      OW stopped their updates, I started picking up TF2 again outside of OW’s seasonal events. OW2 launched, I uninstalled and was back on TF2.
