Team Fortress: Source 2 officially cancelled after DMCA from Valve ValveDevs from the popular Team Fortress port, Team Fortress: Source 2, have announced they\u2019ve received a DMCA from Valve for their entire github repository. Team Fortress: Source 2 began as a passion project from fans of Valve\u2019s classic shooter. Back in 2021, a group of over twenty modders banded together under the name Amper Software. Over the next three years they worked to rebuild the 17-year-old game for the Source 2 engine in the hopes it would reinvigorate the player base. And for a time, it did, with many fans praising the updated version and the mod\u2019s work on social media. Today the devs made the announcement on Twitter as well as in the Team Fortress: Source 2 community Discord that Team Fortress: Source 2 was no more. A DMCA from Valve, requesting the takedown of the entire github repository, effectively spells the end of the community-led project. In their announcement, the TF: Source 2 team explained the DMCA was \u201cthe nail in the coffin,\u201d for the team, who were already discussing the project\u2019s future in light of recent changes. It\u2019s an abrupt end for a project so passionately received by TF2 fans. And there was plenty of speculation from the community about what caused Valve to take notice. Team Fortress: Source 2 was not the only project using Valve IP to receive a DMCA either. Portal 64, another popular port of Valve\u2019s game, Portal, also got slapped with a notice for takedown. Some fans drew comparisons between Valve\u2019s handling of CS:GO ports to Source 2 ahead of the release of Counter-Strike 2. However, most acknowledged that sadly, a new version of TF2 probably isn\u2019t on the developer\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
