First TF2: Source 2, now this. What's going on there?

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.

I thought it was a remake of og team fortress on source 2?

It's a 1:1 replica of tf2

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.

Valve's legal department just got back from holiday break?

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