I'm just saying Valve's approach to modding changed a lot in the last 12 years. They wouldn't be able to pull a fast one with L4D2 and TF2/CSGO market if they didn't.
Let's not forget they attempted paid mods for Skyrim (inb4 it was all on Bethesda, they don't own Steam) and workshop goes against modding 'ethics' in some ways.
tbqh the best that could happen to VR is if that Nimsony fag made his work open source, or if Epic/Unity got their asses in gear and made a fuckton of VR templates for Unity/UE4
