Seems the steam workshop can give(or not) some real money for map developers. But in some situations or creativity issues u need some special permissions on what u have created. The creation is yours and u have some copyrights on what u have created but Liatis and Denis had asked for permission from Montréal's City Council to recreate the subway station of Berri-UQAM in Valve's FPS game, but their request was met with a firm rejection. The big problem was that have decided to move ahead and they created the map and the STM, Montréal's public transit commission, is looking to begin legal action against them.

The map was designed to be used in a local CS:GO tournament that will be held in early March in Montréal.

We have the statement from Denis about this situation



Is it worth it or not ? You can watch a video with the map here
