Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Optional TF2 dedicated server update released
They added VPK signing, allowing communities to whitelist specific mods, but of course you'd have to get players into community servers in the first place.

Unfortunately the existence of a few bad servers led them to practically cutting off all access to new players. This was the biggest copout. Instead of facing the problem they decided to screw everyone for their convenience. If they were truly in touch with players this would NEVER have been considered an option. But as we can all see from this update, TF2 seems to be more about squeezing every last bit of money with minimum effort.
