People get their Merasmissions, they get a few items from said Merasmissions, some people get rich on new Halloween Unusual Effects, a bunch of people waste money on limited crates… it’s a simple formula that continues to make Valve money with almost zero effort on their part. How has it boiled down into nothing more than a few community maps, a crate, a key and a bunch of cosmetics taken off the Steam Workshop?
This is Scream Fortress we’re talking about, one of the biggest updates of the TF2 yearly cycle! This is the beloved series of updates that brought us Merasmus, Monoculous, Soul Gargoyles (still available), Spells (no longer available), Paper Masks (somewhat available) and free cosmetics that you can earn (also somewhat available maybe?). It was literally just an announcement on the Updates page of the TF2 website, and a couple of follow-up updates.īut honestly, this is a pretty sorry state of affairs. But that’s still 20 minutes more effort than Valve put into THEIR Scream Fortress update page. The result is a strange mess of scribbles which gets worse every year, starting from a genuine effort for Scream Fortress 8, dipping down for Scream Fortress 9, getting worse with Scream Fortress X and, frankly, the Scream Fortress XI page is fucking atrocious since I only put like 20 minutes into it. Then again, there hasn’t been a Scream Fortress update page since Scream Fortress 7, which means I’ve made a fake update page for the last 4 years. I didn’t make an article about it because there honestly was very little to write about, but what I DID do was make a fake update page for Scream Fortress XI (ELEVEN for those who can’t read Roman Numerals) because guess what, there wasn’t one this year. Scream Fortress came a bit early this year, with very little going on with it.
