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.

lol did these morons really think they were going to get away with literally trying to steal an IP? ROFL

Life lessons for these people.

This comment would only make sense if they were being indignant about it.

Yeah, how dare they make something enjoyable for the community! Everyone should suffer under valve's dragging of their feet over TF2 promises.

Ah so because Valve isn’t updating the game on an interval you’re ok with that gives them the right to steal IP?

You can make anything you want for the community. But if you do it while stealing an IP then that puts you in the wrong.

It’s pretty simple kid.

IP laws should have a "use it or lose it" clause to be honest. Otherwise companies become lazy and repackage the same shit in a new skin that you have to pay for.
