*JINGLE JINGLE JINGLE* LOOK GUYS VALVE RELEASED MODDING SUPPORT (which won't actually change anything for the game itself)

Not sure what you're on about. This is a net positive, and doesn't distract from the quickplay vs casual debate whatsoever.
Not saying it's bad, but I can already tell that people are going to immediately jump ship to the next "relevant thing". Just like with seasonal content dumps.

Not sure tbh. Zesty's video has been quite polarizing from what I've witnessed.

Plus that doesn't sound fun at all, being able to change what a class does how much health, damage, ect.

the idea would be for people to balance the game as they want on their servers

I want there to be a way to cut Valve out of the loop completely, and just have the community fix the issues that TF2 faces, but I kinda doubt that's gonna happen, they'll still control the base game. At best, if a few legends make the better taken care of TF2 fork and basically do Valve's job for them, valve might take that fork and apply it to main TF2 (probably taking the credit because that's just how they are).

It can't truly be called open source if the engine itself can't be modified, it's more like open source with non free data

Let me answer some questions to the best of my knowledge.

The Source Code (the main thing hackers use to exploit in TF2) and the SDK (the main thing people use to mod TF2) are separate things entirely and people can't use the SDK to ""hack"" TF2.

Unfortunately, to my understanding the mods will be treated as their own separate games and not add-ons. If you want a visual example, more Portal mods than Terraria/TmodLoader mods.

does this mean TF2C will finally be able to go legit?
Possibly, if they're willing to move everything to steam.

Yeah, it’s pretty fun. It plays nothing like TF2 though.
