I'm now seeing bots of both survivors and zombies sticking around in the
A2S_PLAYER response. It appears that some of them are staying in the
list between game changes. I have one fork which lists 8 bots and 4
players, and the bots have all been connected for 1 hour and 30 minutes
while the longest connection time for one of the players is 50 minutes.
It also looks like survivor bots aren't always removed from the list
once they are taken over by players. I have another fork running a
co-op game which lists 4 players, and Zoey. This definitely did not
happen before the Crash Course update.
