My god maybe that "open source games" lemmy community got one thing right

It's just a joke how e.g. tf2 players beg a megacorp to fix their game every year now. I like tf2 but the power dynamic between the publisher and the player is crazy

I mean, if you want to play a game made by volunteers, that's where Team Fortress came from.

There originally was the Quake-based Team Fortress mod.

There was Weapons Factory for Quake II, which was similar.

The TF team was hired by Valve to do the confusingly-named Team Fortress Classic for Valve's Half-Life, itself based on Quake II.

And Valve did Team Fortress 2.
