Is there a reason why map mods cannot be on the Steam Workshop?

:angry2: Kinda sad seeing my mod being downloaded from a pirated link on ModHub.us more than 1200 times... from the only official DL on ShareMods it has been only 400... something's wrong with those idiots, isn't that? :fuk:

@ItzHonzula

People do that because they want to take the credit instead of giving of them to the real creator who put in all the effort and work. They make money off by doing that. Some people just don't know that those websites have stolen mods.

@BenganJ

I did some thinking and I came up with three reasons why map mods are not on the Steam Workshop:
1. The files are too large to be uploaded to the Steam Workshop.
2. Maps, for whatever reason, aren't compatible and can't be uploaded. (maybe I'm mistaken and truck models, which are on the workshop, aren't .scs format)
3. Mapmakers just prefer to stay off the Workshop?

DAMN WRONG, but as long as there are sites giving them opportunity to make
money out of it, we'll have to deal with them!

@BenganJ

I find this very strange. How come stolen mod websites don't have ProMods. Almost every map mod is on stolen mod websites but ProMods, one of the most popular map mods, is NOT on ANY websites other than the official ProMods website.

@therobloxians1119

That's because Promods REALLY acts on the person that uploaded Promods, if any.
And that would cost that person quite a lot! They just have the means to do it!

I have found a stolen mod website with ProMods download links. I was quite shocked to see it. I reported it ProMods.
