Only HR, IT, and management are believed to be unaffected by the cuts, which reportedly would see the developer’s title, 2016’s Disney Magic Kingdoms, transferred to Gameloft’s studio in Kharkiv, Ukraine.

I mean, if you want to play a game made by volunteers, that’s where Team Fortress came from.
There originally was the Quake-based Team Fortress mod.
There was Weapons Factory for Quake II, which was similar.

And Valve did Team Fortress 2.
