Bubs, 12 godzin temu do games w Valve adds "all the Team Fortress 2 client and server game code" to its Source mod tools, letting modders "build completely new games based on TF2" and publish them on Steam

Lol. It’s so greedy of them!

Jokes aside. It’s an interesting distinction to make. Even though the source code is freely available, it doesn’t mean developers have free reign to do anything they want like they could with open source software. Apart from special circumstances, everything made with the source code will still be mods.

A few takeaways from the move:

• Any modifications must be released as mods
• Players downloading the mods must own the base game
• The mods must be free and no aspect of the mod can be monetized.
• The mods can now access TF2 steam inventory for cosmetics and weapons (but cannot modify the inventory)
