Do you really think something that you make would be owned by a software company just because it was made with their product? Then Microsoft would be the owner of every Word document ever written 
Of course, some games explicitly mention that all mods made for the game will be the property of the game publisher. However, this may not be legally binding. It also depends on where you live, as in some countries some aspects of copyright simply cannot be assigned to others. |
Mods aren't made with the product. They are an alteration of the product.
