Yay... I guess

Does this mean full Portal 2 mod support is coming soon?
Probably not.

The Downside: People that were originally pirating versions of HL2, or Portal, etc, who really loved the game, and also wanted to map, would go out and buy it.... Now? No point. More piracy :-/

Probably not.

Why would you even jump to this conclusion?

No it won't be. We can't make mods for Portal 2. It's unlikely that we ever will be able to.

You did, unless you meant something else.

I hope there will be a mod support in the Source SDK.

Okay, you can't mix and match two separate things I've said and expect them to correlate.

The Source SDK does not include the Portal 2 source. The Portal 2 source being what is required to make a proper "mod" of the game. Which we will more than likely never get.

I forgot that Source SDK only covered Half Life 2, Ep1, Ep2, TF2, and Portal. What about the Portal 2 Authoring Tools? Source SDK is already free (to whoever bought a Valve game)and has been for a long time.

BTW msleeper, I wasn't trying to nail you or something, it just sounded like you were saying something similar.

I guess they had to make the SourceSDK free if they made TF2 free for everyone. Many people would be angry if they couldn't make maps for a game they can play legitimately.
Portal 2 and L4d2 I'm guessing will not as they use completely different SDK's.

This would have been mighty helpful when the only game I played was Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. I had to buy HL2 just to get hammer.

Bingo.
