Saying TF2 is old in terms of lifespan is a joke, particularly when comparing it another well-known Valve title, Counter-Strike, which has been continuously played and updated since about 1999-2000. It doesn't matter how old it is, it's sti

In my opinion, they've stagnated not because of laptops, but because of consoles. 5 years ago, the PS3 came out, a year before that, the Xbox 360 came out. Cross platform development has caused things to stagnate. When the next round of con
