Should be will totally be based on "will folks pay for it". Personally, I would like to see people making money because it will lead to higher quality maps. But like the work shop items, I want some sort of system by Valve to make sure I am not wading through piles of trash. | ||

Having people pay to play custom maps would be as un-valve as possible. http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Map_Stamp | ||

I demand some courier farming sim, where you raise and train couriers to work on the fields of Dota, and maybe battle. Or a game where people command armies of couriers. Beaver Knight vs Shagbark to the death. | ||

People are saying the editor is really powerful so it might be possible. I wonder if Valve will allow the map makers to monetize it with whatever system they will choose to make. That seems like a really grey copyright area. Not sure how its a grey copyright area. | ||

It'll be a grey copyright area if someone makes a LoL clone. Or like the Warcraft 3 campaign. | ||

“Do people get to make money from copies of the League of Legends map? Answer: Are you fucking retarded? Do you like getting sued and receiving nasty cease and desist letters? Anyone making that is wasting their fucking time if they want to make money” Or something like that. Seriously, that’s going to be a big nope, Valve is not crazy. Riot would turn that into not a gray area super quick. | ||

Also, what if nobody was making any money from the lol clone? Would Valve delete it from Steam workshop? | ||

Also custom maps are essentially workshop stuff so valve probably wouldn't delete it just because nobody made any money, no. Plenty of games have workshops that are completely non-profit after all. | ||

Yes I recall somebody made a League meets Dota video in SFM, and got death threats for it :p | ||

Because if not, then it's going to seriously destroy my WC3 maps nostalgia. Also, what if nobody was making any money from the lol clone? Would Valve delete it from Steam workshop? If no one was making money from it, it would be ok. If a fuck ton of people started playing it, it might end up on Riots litigation radar. And folks, remember that every answer in the legal field is "maybe?". I have a case today where we know my client is 100% right, but they are paying out a settlement because they don't want to pay the costs to go to court and be right(and the cost is more than the settlement, which is why the case exists in the first place). Its the nature of the beast. No one knows how a court would rule on a copy of a free to play game using different models, but the same map and some similar game play. At the end of the day Valve will remove stuff based on "do we want to fight with the copyright holder about this?", rather than any legal logic. | ||
