Valve Threatens Team Fortress 2

VALVE VAC TEAM FORTRESS 2

A dark animated cartoon shows small characters labeled “VALVE” and “VAC” facing a strange top-hatted figure labeled “TEAM FORTRESS 2,” who holds a revolver to his own head. The camera cuts between the characters and increasingly close shots of the gun and the figure’s uneasy face while dramatic music plays, turning the scene into an absurd joke about Valve threatening or neglecting its own game. It works as a reaction to a game studio seemingly sabotaging or abandoning one of its titles.

Hey little buddy, how are you doing? Oh my god! Oh my god! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Oh my god! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hello. What's, uh, what's up, man? What's happened to a big guy? What's up with the gun? Oh, nothing. I was probably going to use it to shoot myself or something. Oh, you didn't do that, man. Why don't you just put the gun down, buddy? Yeah, don't worry. Things are going to be OK. OK. But if you can't help me, I'm going to shoot myself and let you two watch. Okay, not sure about that, but yay!
