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.
Not all games need to be officially supported forever, tbh.
You can easily run your own server for it, so like UT99 or so, fans can form communities and play.
Basically, I’d rather them put effort into a Team Fortress 3, even though I know that’s of course utopian given we never got an HL3 either.
If they don’t want to support it that’s fine but they should stop releasing new micro transactions then
