…It would’ve directly competed with an active game that Valve are still monetising, using the same assets, on an engine made by Valve themselves. Compare to Black Mesa: a remake of a very old game on a new engine using altered assets; and even then, Valve asked for a cut.

The outrage is undeserved. Doubly so because the devs themselves said they were stopping production anyways due to technical difficulties

Yeah nah, the outrage is kinda idiotic, TF2 is still getting support, the servers are running and it's making money, they have every right to DMCA that project and even the devs said that.

The point of the fan campaign isn't specifically about the dmca, but moreso the apparent apathy of Valve towards the state if the game, with the item servers diving down for about two days and bots flooding official server still not having anything done to practically combat them.

Aren't there only like 2 people who continue to work on TF2 over at Valve?

The actual numbers are vague, and knowing Valve's "flat" structure people probably come and go whenever.
