Team Fortress: Source 2 and Portal 64 Fan Projects Shut Down by Valve Takedowns

Fan projects Team Fortress: Source 2 and Portal 64 have shut down after Valve intervened in their development.

-Foxtrot96d ago

First they open Steam up to more AI, now they are shutting down fan projects when at one time they used to support or even give the fans jobs.

Wonder what's going on with Valve at the minute.

@Foxtrot
It’s called money plain and simple.

JEECE95d ago

I mean, that might explain the Team Fortress 2 thing, because Valve might bring that to Source 2 (though I'm not sure I'd bet on that), but I can't see how Portal 64 hurts them. If anything, it's more attention to the Portal and therefore Valve/Steam.

Giblet_Head95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

There's potential that Valve had already planned to bring Source 2 to TF2 officially after Counter Strike 2. It's been getting some renewed attention lately.

Inverno95d ago

You got Nintendo to thank for Portal64 being taken down. As for TF2, most likely it's due to the probability of Valve working on a source 2 port themselves. It's sucks but Nintendo are the biggest pricks in the business and not letting this drag out into a huge court drama is the best decision.

Valve Opens the Floodgates to Allow More AI Based Games on Steam

Valve has updated its stance on AI games on the Steam storefront, allowing creators to publish AI-created games.

Droppedez95d ago

AI is just another form of slavery for our computer brethren.

Barlos95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

Hell no. I want games that have been made by creative minds who have a passion for their craft, not a bot with a penchant for plagiarism.

BrainSyphoned95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

So instead of paying for an engine and assets to create a game they are paying for an engine and assets to create a game.

gold_drake121d ago

my god, people are so dumb these days.

shinoff2183121d ago

I read the headline to my girl and she even reacted wtf is wrong with people. People wild

Notellin119d ago

I feel bad for her that she can't read and needs you to do it for her. Keep your head up!

shinoff2183119d ago

Notellin, I've been teaching her 😘

Jin_Sakai120d ago (Edited 120d ago )

This generation is about dumb as it gets.

frostypants120d ago

Huffing things isn't new to be fair.

SavageFlamingo119d ago

This has nothing to do with generations. It’s not a stupid challenge or anything. People just happened to smell it while they were playing. The steam deck exhaust is easy to smell without even trying. Just playing it you’ll smell it in the air around you.

It's every generation, today you just see it more clearly thanks to internet.

k2d120d ago

To be fair, I loved the smell of glue, gas and certain plastics as a kid (new disc cartridges/new hardware, anyone?)

Si-Fly119d ago

Instruction manuals for me, best smell ever 😂

crazyCoconuts120d ago

I actually take a whiff of it once in a while, it's funny that it smells so good lol

DarXyde119d ago

Tide pod fiasco all over again

Felix_Argyle_Catbro119d ago

"tHeSe DaYs"
People have been just as dumb in the past, you just see it clearly now thanks to the internet.

gold_drake119d ago

thanks for that .. insight. ha.

rlow1119d ago

Well good thing about dumb people, they play an important part in human history. How else do we know which plants, animals and foods ar dangerous? Dumb people! They pay the price so the rest of us don’t have to. Lol

FinalFantasyFanatic119d ago

Honestly, I'm not even surprised considering some of the people I come across these days, inhaling fumes would explain a lot of things.

Wow people will huff anything nowadays some people just have way too much time on their hands.

Abnor_Mal120d ago (Edited 120d ago )

Another reason to love the PlayStation Portal, no chance of breathing in noxious vapors.

Get a Steam Deck they said, to which I reply, what are you high?

KwietStorm_BLM120d ago

Were you high when you typed this?

Abnor_Mal120d ago

Sorry bud no Steam Deck here.

119d ago
FinalFantasyFanatic119d ago (Edited 119d ago )

Even the Steam Deck does streaming better than the Portal (they portal is capped for streaming for some reason, whereas the Steam Deck isn't).

Neonridr119d ago

imagine pretending a glorified streaming device is better than a stand alone unit that can also, stream.

Stand by for the 'gaming kills' articles.
Que Halloween movie theme.

Nucleux120d ago

What does it smell/taste like?

Barlos120d ago

Better than the Switch cartridges is my guess.

Just to be clear, I've never licked a Switch cartridge, nor have I inhaled my deck's fumes.

Profchaos120d ago

Same never licked a switch cart I've always been worried more about where it's been than the taste but

Fluke_Skywalker120d ago

It smells good, that's the problem lol. When I first turned mine on I noticed it 😅
Better stop sniffing it then.

Barlos119d ago

I've had my deck for over a year, I've never been compelled to put my nose near the vent for a good lungful 😂

crazyCoconuts120d ago

I can't explain it... It smells...new

SavageFlamingo119d ago (Edited 119d ago )

Kind of like cheap bacon cooking. Even cheap bacon smells good.
