Krejlooc you and your team do deserve the opportunity to be rewarded for your hard work. Your method has been a proven way of making a name for yourself as a game developer in the past (CS, TF, DOD, DotA, Black Mesa, Minerva, Garry's Mod, DayZ) and I don't see that changing going forward. Valve in particular has strongly valued mod makers and I'm sure that was one of the motivating reasons your team took the initial risk with a modding a Valve product.
Valve and Bethesda however just flipped the script on Skyrim modding by changing it from a (relatively) anxiety free communist type society to a free-for-all capitalist one. Once money becomes a factor in anything human behavior fundamentally changes, for the good and the bad. Like switching governments in a game of Civilization, social unrest will be prevalent so you should try and show a little empathy in that respect. Once you have your own work stolen or ripped off I'm sure you won't be a big fan of completely open system like the one that was just implemented (with no real curation). Anyways as a big half-life fan I hope your mouth can cash all the checks its been writing when we get to see what you've been up to.
