Due to the lack of response, we've tried contacting them in multiple different ways, including through Steam support. Unfortunately, Valve has not responded to us in any form, despite us trying various ways to contact them after this initial email. We sent them a response confirming that we would suspend downloads, alongside stating that we were very much interested in a Steam release, along with a few questions. They asked us if we were interested in releasing our projects in the form of a mod on Steam, which would have required work from both parties. In the same email, Valve made it clear to us that they recognize and appreciate the creativity and motivation of the TF2 community, and were internally discussing the best way to let us express it. As such, they asked us to "stop distributing reverse engineered or leaked code, including anything compiled using that code or otherwise derived from it." In short, their response stated that, while the Software Service Agreement allowed for modding to a certain extent, it both does not apply to the leaked code, and forbids the use of reverse-engineering. In particular, about their stance on reverse-engineering, as the Open Fortress team was working on a reverse-engineered TF2 base to use in place of the 2008 leaked source code that most TF2 mods at the moment use. In doing so, we'd also like to update everyone on what's been happening.Īs we've mentioned in the past, we had gotten in contact with Valve about a few questions regarding TF2 Sourcemods. What a guy.We'd like to let everyone know that there's been no response back from Valve, and that we plan to re-open downloads to the public. Left 4 Dead 2 is due out for PC and Xbox 360 on 20th November (17th on Steam), and was proving popular at the Eurogamer Expo last week, where Valve's Chet Faliszek presented it live and presided over showfloor gameplay too. In the meantime, if you pre-order - or have already - then next time you load up Team Fortress 2 you will have use of the hat. "Is Bill's hat the tenth class? All will be revealed in time, but don't hold your breath."
As you can see from the image on the blog, the hat looks great whoever you play. "And lest you think this is just some marketing gimmick, here's the intricate back-story justifying it: while conducting a science experiment on parallel dimensions, Bill's hat fell off a table into the Team Fortress universe." "This is not fan fiction! This is not a dream sequence! The characters from Team Fortress 2 will team up with Bill's hat from Left 4 Dead 1!
That's right: it's a Left 4 Dead/Team Fortress crossover!" screams the official website. "For the first time in history, two separate Valve universes collide.
Valve has announced that if you pre-order Left 4 Dead 2 on PC you will gain access to Bill's hat in Team Fortress 2.
