How long have you been playing tf2?

I started playing during the gun mettle update, and was thinking about how, with the conclusion of the storyline Valve is probably done with tf2. And you know what? fine just keep the game playable for as long as people are willing to play it. Thank you all for playing with me over the years, thank you to the incredible SFM community who kept up interest in the game even when it was unplayable. And especially thank you to Rick May who brought one of my favorite video game characters to life.
