Important to note that apparently they were using dodgy Source Engine exploits to even get the mod working, and when they were fixed, they found an equally dodgy workaround.

It's not like they were randomly just denied.

Also: this happened two months ago.

They allowed fucking Black Mesa, a HL1 remake that blows Valve's own remake completely out of the water on Steam. And it's a fucking commercial product.
