      TF2: Source 2 was, in short, because they were using assets they didn’t have the license to

      TF2 source 2 totally makes sense as although TF2 gets no updates, it’s still a popular game and valve can’t totally take the idea of upgrading it to source 2 off the table themselves.

      This one is a shame that I don’t really understand, I wonder if it’s related to the fact that it’s for the GameCube and that’s Nintendo’s territory. I’m curious to see if this activity continues and expands, as even on steam there are remakes of half life in source and basically fan expansions to portal being sold for profit, among other products and projects.

          Oh it may have been, I totally wouldn’t be surprised if every time I read Team Fortress, my brain just interpreted it as TF2.

        I was going to say “woke up from hibernation” but I guess that works as well.
