The Amanda's Letter add-on for The Pig has been Kill Switched due to an issue with incorrect RBT count.

Isn't it about time...
You added bots to 2v8? I mean… functional ones, preferably, cause 35+ minutes to play as Killer is simply NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL.
4 Players + 4 Functional bots + 2 Killers = half the time, or possible queue normalization.
Seriously… imagine waiting 35 minutes to play and your game crashing out of the blue, for no reason at all.

You are asking for something that will never happen.

And how do you know? Scientists should start looking into why people are so damn fast about accepting "nothing good will ever happen" just to self-affirm their own lack of commitment when fighting for improvements. Of course basking in the ambience, chillin' around is GREAT and everybody loves it, but how about a little commitment every now and then?

Are you blind? People have been asking for improvements for almost 10 years. The devs don't care nor listen.
Why fight a losing battle?

They tried adding bots in lobbies in one of the earlier iterations of 2v8 and it was a disaster. Nobody wanted to play with bots in the lobbies. Also, just play survivor while you’re waiting. Also, how are you waiting 35 minutes? I think the most I’ve waiting is like 15-20. The estimated wait times have always been longer than actual wait times for me.

Oh, really? And how exactly are people fighting? By getting a thread like mine 10~15 comments? Hell of a fight, eh? With that much fighting I'm not surprised nothing gets fixed.
But of course. The bots we have today are simply brain dead. With the proper care, bots could become "intermediate level players". But that requires investment, requires good programming, etc. The Meg bot, in "The Game" map, sometimes keep jumping from gaps right above stairs and repeating the proccess over and over again, really "dooooh". That's just one example.
As for the estimated times, for me, they're always longer. A 30 minutes wait = 35 minutes, basically.-3 -
The bots were a lot stronger back when they were added to 2V8 but that didn't make them any more popular. Though I think if BHVR wanted to make the mode permanent, bots would definitely have to be an option to keep the queue times down.
If they did come back, they'd have to be coded not to make a beeline for tonics and hatches like they did the first time around. I even had one bot jump into a hatch right in front of my cage without having the decency of saving me first. And it was so frustrating to see the bots be the only Survivors to make it out alive. It might be different now with them being coded to be more altruistic and not to prioritise self preservation so much.

Were you not here for the previous iteration, where they did add bots and it actually increased queue times because even less people wanted to play survivor as a result?
