Just a fyi, that employee no longer works at Valve either.

Thats where VALVe went wrong. His response says it all. Once upon a
time VALVes customers were important to them. Now theyre just a
complaining bunch of necessary annoyance in order to earn money.

I thought this post by a Valve employee might be relevant to the
discussion.

Unfortunately I don't think we're ever going to get the sheer numbers
needed to force Valve's hand because the average player doesn't
understand the problem. Most players remaining joined after the
change, and they have no concept of how things could be better. Most
of the veterans that quit assumed that their favorites servers
naturally died instead of being killed by Valve. As you can see, that
reddit post only has around 40 votes total.
I tried to warn everyone that the continued removal of server owner
rights would lead to problems for everyone, but many people here
thought that it wouldn't affect them as much as the "bad" servers, and
all the players from the "bad" server would end up on their servers.
Every removal was praised not only by trolls that didn't even play the
game anymore for years, but also quite a few community owners.
It is probably only up to Valve (or Eric, since I heard he was the
only one working on TF2 now) to realize they made a mistake by looking
at how the player counts are faring and seeing the drop in retention
rates.

I've
posted my take on the whole situation here, after seeing some
comments in the thread I am very worried this will turn into a
giant argument of what should be done instead, and ultimately will
have the issue collapse on itself.
