Hey gamedev people.
I know some author have policy to not read (or even acknowledge) fanfiction about their work in case they may be accused of copying these fan work in their next book.
I've never heard of such policy in game, especially about mods.
Have you ?
What's the status quo here ?

One interesting counter-example is Valve, who often "buy" out maps from popular CS:GO (/CS2) and TF2 community maps from independent level designers and then integrate in vanilla games.
