Most news stories about this have very interesting comments threads implying these guys are full of shit as to not knowing exactly why they've been refused, amongst the usual "I always knew valve were bad guys ever since they made me install steam to play 1.6" type longterm haters.
AFAICS from people who have been following this, these guys are tinkering with 'black box' stuff that Valve repeatedly told them not to tinker with by referencing leaked source code for an earlier version of source which has been deprecated (and as a result are unpatching known and potential security vulnerabilities), and they're also fucking with proprietary netcode stuff which inherently has to be a black box to stop cheating, and they were told to knock it off prior to submission but went ahead anyway.
I legitimately believe valve do not consider this mod an existential thread to their CS:GO revenue or are trying to fuck 'the little guy' over because they're Evil Corporation
