Valve is generally supportive of mods (hell, a Portal 2 mod was just released a few days ago) but it seems like recreating Team Fortress 2 was pushing it… Really sad, honestly. I really hope Valve would just strike a deal with these devs and make it official rather than throw away the insane amount of effort they put into re-building TF2.

I wonder if they actually have anything in the works in regards to TF2. It’s a little odd because they were perfectly fine with Black Mesa.
I’d be more supportive of Valve if Team Fortress 2 wasn’t a dumpster fire to play in 2024. The game is infested with bots that make anything outside of independently moderated community servers unplayable.
Even Counter Strike 2 has dogshit anticheat despite the boasts that VAC Live was a solution that could surpass Vanguard, to the point where the only good competitive experience you can have is to play on FaceIt or ESEA servers with their own ring 0 anticheat solution.
I mean TF 2 is 16 years old. They just don’t really support it anymore. I can’t comprehend how it’s still in or close to the top 10 steam games by player count when it’s been dead for years.
It got 14 new maps last year and hit a new concurrent player count record. It’s not even remotely dead.
Yeah dead as in doesn’t receive much love from Valve

There is nothing novel or revolutionary about this. Using the same engine, it tries to recreate the exact same game. They were aware that they were playing with fire, these developers. spacebar clicker
