More expertly-sourced leaks for Counter-Strike 2 (Valve Software, 2023)

valve can do whatever they want with their own games on their own platform i guess but CS2 is literally just the CS:GO steam page with all the text and images changed.

You can see that the release date isn't the actual CS2 release date, and the user tags don't need changing, but there's 2 things about this that are pretty scummy.

CS2 replaces CS:GO

The CS:GO reviews are now CS2's

There's some pretty significant differences between CS:GO and CS2 under the hood. I can't say how much this affects gameplay between the 2 but if it's anything like TF2 I know some people are going to be pretty dissappointed that their movement tech might not work anymore.

Far worse, the system requirements for CS2 are pretty significantly higher than CS:GO. To be expected of two games released 11 years apart, but the games industry has a pretty big problem right now of making hardware a huge barrier to entry.

Both of these problems would be non-issues if CS:GO still existed, you could just chose to play that instead, but Valve doesn't want you to keep playing one of the most popular multiplayer shooters ever, they made a shiny new toy in their shiny new engine and they want everyone to play with that instead.

Here's where the reviews come in. No matter what the community response to CS2 is, it's going to be completely swallowed whole by a decade of their own positive sentiments for the game that's been replaced. That "Very Positive" reviews tag is going to stay up there forever unless every player for years hates it, not just a few dedicated fans right now.

Not to mention the blatant apathy towards media preservation shown by wiping the old game off every player's hard drive.
