Modders are the unsung heroes of the gaming industry. Without their ingenuity, genres like MOBAs (born from RTS mods like StarCraft and Warcraft III), auto battlers (directly descended from MOBAs like Dota 2), and even the wildly popular Battle Royale genre (thanks to an ARMA 2 mod) wouldn't exist. That's why Valve's recent announcement is such fantastic news for the gaming community.
Valve has updated its Source SDK, incorporating the complete Team Fortress 2 codebase. This provides modders with a robust foundation to build upon, enabling the creation of entirely new games. While the license requires these creations and their content to remain free, history shows that successful free projects often evolve into commercially viable ventures.
Furthermore, Valve has released a significant update for all Source engine multiplayer games. This update introduces crucial improvements, including 64-bit executable support, a scalable UI and HUD, and fixes for persistent client-side prediction issues. Many other enhancements are included as well.
This is a monumental day for modders everywhere, and we eagerly anticipate the innovative and groundbreaking games that will undoubtedly emerge from this opportunity.
