I think one of the main reasons I started this project was a sort of wish-fulfillment, or maybe it was the idea of speaking something into existence.

I am writing this text out on October 23rd, 2023, five days away from the TF2 anniversary and the heavily speculated reveal of TF3. I have loved the game since its release and have put hundreds of hours into experiencing it. And with the recent surge of updates and hype, I have found myself in a pit of rumors, memes, and theories about the number 3 so bizarre I now doubt my own sanity.

But regardless of how many theories I consume, I don't know what will happen in five days. It could very well be another Apex reveal or the announcement of a new game set in the TF/Apex universe. But I truly believe this franchise deserves a second chance. A series as unique and expressive as TF deserves its time in the spotlight, and I hope that Respawn sees the potential as much as the community does.

I will return to this post on the 28/9th either crestfallen or the most excited, happy, thrilled, and every other synonym for a game's release in my entire life.
