Story is funnier than this.
>TF2: Classic wants to do a demo as part of NextFest
>Valve denies it because mods aren't allowed to have demos / early access looks, they're meant to release as complete mods
>This also puts new eyes on TF2: Classic because of the name and Valve support knocks on the rules in the mod terms saying you can't have a too similar name (same thing happened to Black Mesa)
When mod authors get too cocky they end up getting Valve's attention and get slapped. Only other time I've seen it happen is with Half-Life Absolute Zero. Also, the day after this they hired a pedophile to their team.
