Players have been asking the developers for this for months, since their policy completely changed.
Initially, you could play with bots on any map by setting the PORTAL mode to your liking. Then, "farms" appeared, flooding and burdening their servers to the point that creating anything for your own personal enjoyment bordered on the impossible.
Then the developers removed the ability to earn full rewards for the game, leaving only 150% experience for the game. And then they imposed conditions that most of us cannot normally meet – the game launches when there are eight real players in the game.
Apparently, with this action, the developers wanted to put an end to the PORTAL mode, which they initially advertised would give players such freedom and enjoyment – and it has proven to be as they always have. And so far, they haven't done anything about it, although players are asking for the ability to play with bots solo/with friends, even without rewards, to be restored – just for fun, but they clearly don't care.
And if it weren't for talented players like Ty_Ger07 and his game servers, we wouldn't be able to enjoy this game the way we want - for fun, because that's what these games are all about.
