It’s hard to top Valve when it comes to its catalog of timeless, competitive multiplayer games. Dota 2 and Counter-Strike are of course the poster children, but Team Fortress 2 is still going extremely strong all these years later and benefitting from occasional updates, too.

Team Fortress 2 Classic is a long-running mod that aims to take things back to those early days of TF2, and it recently made its way to Steam. However, its upcoming open beta has been scrapped after coming across an unusual issue – Valve won’t let something be a mod and a demo at the same time. This strange case may have also spawned a new problem for Team Fortress 2 Classic – it might have to rebrand.
