This peak is obviously because of the update, but why is it keep getting more popular in general in the last 3 years? It was on downward trend before that. What changed?
You’re able to fuck around and get into shenanigans with taunts and stuff. It’s not all just competitive, so I think that giving the option to goof around is great!
Since the game doesnt take itself too seriously, it lends the opportunity to play however you want. It’s neat!
The art-style and character designs has also aged super well, too.
Within my own personal circle, I’m pretty sure it’s because Overwatch imploded. Most of us saw it as the spiritual successor to TF2 and got really invested because it was pushing the genre forward. As OW2 slowly shat itself, everyone kind of just split off and fell into mourning. Now that it’s been around a decade I think we’ve collectively begun feeling that nostalgic itch and are steadily coalescing back around TF2.

nobody has made a better team shooter so no competition
My kids love tf2, maybe it’s just old enough to have a whole new generation of playerbase.
