Team Fortress 2 Code Now Open-Source for Modding

Valve's Source SDK update is a game-changer for modders and the gaming industry. By releasing the complete Team Fortress 2 code, Valve empowers creators to build upon a robust foundation, potentially sparking innovation and entirely new game genres. While the resulting games must remain free under the license, history shows that successful free projects often evolve into commercially successful ventures.

This update isn't just about TF2; it also enhances all Source engine multiplayer games. The inclusion of 64-bit executables, a scalable UI and HUD, and fixes for client-side prediction issues significantly improves the modding experience and the potential for high-quality modifications.

This is a momentous occasion for the modding community, and we eagerly anticipate the groundbreaking creations that will undoubtedly emerge from this opportunity.
