Let's make an open source Team Fortress clone with this kind of premise!
That would be a banger, but who would host the servers?
Also make an open-source matchmaking service, that is federated.
peer to peer maybe?
Not possible, OpenFortress tried and is forced by Valve to keep it proprietary.
Make it different enough. They can't sue, unless they have patented the Team Fortress formula.
That's because it's built off of source and uses valve assets. A clone in godot would be in the clear. Problem is that it has to be built from the ground up, so it's lots more effort to make.
