As of this post, downloads for TF2Classic are temporarily disabled due to an arrangement with Valve. The respective developers cited an agreement with Valve to take down the mods until they could work on a mutually beneficial agreement before making them public again. In September 2021, both Team Fortress 2 Classic and Open Fortress, by far the two most popular mods built off of the 2007 shooter, had their download links taken down and went radio silent for months. We see how large this issue has become and are working to improve things”. “TF2 community, we hear you! We love this game and know you do, too. The outcry generated a rare, but typically default statement, by Valve through the game’s official Twitter account.
After years of complaints, fans of the game rallied for the #SaveTF2 movement on Twitter and other various social media platforms. Bot accounts and hackers have been ruining the casual lobby experience for the game for some time.
Team Fortress 2 has been a hit since its initial release alongside the Orange Box in 2007. How does this bode for the future of the franchise as a whole, and what does that mean for Valve going against decades of supporting and hiring modders that have helped make them a 7.7 billion dollar company? After months of radio silence, both have returned, citing Valve’s typical “lack of communication” as the reason. The popular Team Fortress 2 mods TF2 Classic and Open Fortress went down last September, with their developers stating that they were working on a 'mutually beneficial agreement' with Valve so that they could continue existing while Valve protected its IP (the mods are based on a source leak of Team Fortress 2, which creates an IP headache for Valve).
