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.

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

blob opera is a fantastic blend of fun and education, providing an incredibly engaging way to experiment with music.

If I had to guess a real reason why: a new TF game in Source 2, or something similar is in the works at Valve. It may never make it out of pre-production, but it wouldn't surprise me.

It would surprise me if they did it to capitalize on Overwatch, which would show that Valve leadership can't make an original idea, and is chasing an also-ran that's not successful.

Team Fortress 3? Everyone knows that Valve can't count beyond 3.

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to two. No more. No less. Two shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be two. Three shalt thou not count, nor either count thou one, excepting that thou then proceed to two. Four is right out. Once the number two, being the second number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."
