I believe from what I understand is that all you're doing is sending your mod directory to Valve. Not the source in any way. =P
Also, that'd mean that your mod would have an 'instant' patch ability to where you make your 'final' version then send it to Valve and they put it live at whatever time you say. No question in who owns it. Think of it like FilePlanet hosting your files. =) ~ > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlcoders- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Koppes > Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2004 12:40 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Steam and Mods > > Does this mean that the mod will become Valve owned/sponsored (ala DoD/CS)? > > Or does it remain under the control (with perhaps QC from Valve if > needed...) of the Mod team? > > At 09:03 27/03/2004, you wrote: > >We'd like to begin collecting builds from Mod teams interested in > >distributing their Mod on Steam. > > > >Players will be able to click on the icon for your Mod in the Games list > >to install your Mod and then get all of the files they need.
