There is a difference between official servers and officially HOSTED
servers. Minecraft Realms is still community run and operated. Realms is
to Minecraft what Multiplay is to TF2 - A hosting provider. It's not
correct to mix the two.

If hosting servers was a zero sum game, then why would the would Valve
let people do it? Use your brain and think. They do it because it is
NOT a zero sum game. We get something out of it and they get something
out of it.
It doesn't matter if they were on quickplay.I don't know how many
times I have to repeat myself. My point is that even servers that
aren't eligible for quickplay were negatively affected because most
players are now never even aware that community servers exist given
the tiny button that browse servers have. If you ever ran a saxton/ff
server you would know what I am talking about, but you obvious don't
have any experience in this matter. There used to be dozens of custom
servers populated 24/7 and now there are maybe 3-4.
Why is minecraft not a valid argument? You know that there is an
official minecraft host called minecraft realms? And they don't
plaster them all over the top of the main menu. Why does the game mode
even matter? Again, wrong on all points.
And why do the lack of complaints flooding reddit mean that Valve
should ignore the issue? As Henry Ford famously said, "If I had asked
people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses". If
people don't know there's something better, they won't ask for it. The
community players didn't complain about it right away because it was a
slow change and it was hard to figure out that Valve was at fault for
killing off their server because they never use quickplay.
And yes Valve does owe something to communities WHO ALSO HAPPEN TO BE
THEIR PLAYERS AND CUSTOMERS not to break crucial features that were
sold on release such as being able to host the game and have a fair
chance to get players. It doesn't matter if people shuda wuda cuda
shifted to custom game modes which are actually deader than regular
tf2.
If you ever release a game or marketplace, please tell everyone you
are going to screw them over as soon as it is more profitable for
them. Let's see how well that works out for you.
@rd, I think someone was complaining here about your stop the tank
being on quickplay several months ago.
