However, when asked on Steam Support on July 2009, the answer "The mod is not illegal to download and play as long as it is just a mod." was given from Valve. Furthermore, no official permission has ever been given for the redistribution of modified versions of the original leaked material. When first released, the mod was not sanctioned by Valve, being described as "illegal content," and its Valve Developer Community article was deleted (the deletion log has since been purged). Since then there have been no new news about the game at steam.
