Team Fortress 2’s latest strike against bots is silencing new playersShhh!

Shhh!

In thepatch notes for yesterday’s update, Valve are now doubling down on that action (cheers,PCGamesN). On top of being blocked from text communication, those same suspicious accounts have now been locked out of using TF2’s voice chat. In hindsight, it’s sort of wild that wasn’t already the case - what’s to stop a muted player from picking up a microphone - but fair play for getting around to it.

At least, until Valve can find a more nuanced solution to their robot problem.
