    if your code gets merged upstream, then for sure you should be compensated. voluntarily making mods for the love of the game is obviously different from employment. in this dota case, if the modders wanted to charge for content, they shouldn’t have modded a game that prohibits charging for content.

        Why are you linking to an irrelevant video about a completely different game which works completly differently? Dota2 has no internal mechanism to monetize a mod, which is an enormous difference.

            >Can you see what's being cooked? Absolutely not. You are just making random allegations here. I don't even get what you are arguing. I think you have a severe misunderstanding what dota2 is.
