Please stop using the Internet. This isn't the Stealth Mode pity party. Grow up and stop using this list to vent. If you have an issue with Valve, reach out to them directly.

Now to hijack this thread since the announcement from Saturday was censored Coming soon... A little of the Old... With a bit of the New Featuring new engine compatibility... And Modernization. Without GOs animated startup / main page, and full easy to navigate Client/Admin/Developer Access Features. RCON & ADMIN modification to Server / Client CSGO2.lost a lot of customers / clients. >From CSGO1. Which is a mod of the original #1 blockbuster franchise FPS So This Developer has decompiled the necessary parts of each products engines. And is also going to make The Real Source 2 SDK, if VALVe does not. Community Announcement: I, and a small Team of trusted Developers have decompiled / reverse engineered CS Source, and CSGO2. I am pulling all the GO code out, putting CS:Source core programming in, recompiling it. And modding it as needed to run in the Source 2 engine. I already told Gabe ( newell ), Eric ( smith) and Erik ( johnson ) Privately in email Valve lost 9 million oyal CS fans over CSGO2, they should rollback to CSGO on that game ID, then make a new gameID for CSGO2, name it correctly. And make the game everyone has been waiting for. Since they wont I WILL... 9 million loyal customers. barely 500k - 1mil left playing csgo2. Used to be 10 million in csgo. Plus cs1.x and css communities... The entire combined gaming community is not happy with csgo2 So Source DS upgrade too. It wont be like csgo2 at all, nor csgo. Fast paced intense action, Source in Source 2. Same game. Evolved. No gimmick gambling loot box crates for purchased key gimmicks. No bloatware eye candy intense hi res resource consumption. New customizable rendering options. No store, no animated start screen / main page. No end of round bloatware scoreboards, map change, and boom. Right back in the fast paced competitive environment. Lastly, I am also trying to push them to create a true Source 2 SDK development team. to get away from this " Workshop " crap. If they don't, this Developer will. Dedicated Server has built in Scrim / Match settings. Admin toggleable Re-introducing lag interpretation and interpolation Standalone Source 2 SDK that can be used offline, and no cloud sync of skins, models, mapshowever, new " Files " storage area. personal storage space. no more buying skins or crates If you want custom skins its going back to old skewl style dump em in your server models and mats folder, or clients IF you want skins Full performance tweaking, including disabling of Shadows, and other GPU / CPU rendering options.

Addendum to previous msg: Eric, This is the last I will mention the sloppy rollouts of software updates... Did you forget y'all had Steam? Or that neat little tool for HLDS/SourceDS. Cough, the " Server Update Tool " ? That lil executable that any DS owner / operator could run to parse a remote directory at VALVe / Steam for the server update? Posting manual links to the TF2 server update. Amateurish. And looking real sloppy. Knowing what Steams only main primary function is. As well as the function of the standalone server update tool. Meanwhile, it appears that y'all forgot those programs existed. We also need to chat about Source 2 TV. Kind of egotistical, and arrogant. While not showing proper respect to the History of Development. Calling it CSTV. Should have been named Source 2 TV. Like its legacy version, SourceTV. Looking real sloppy @ VALVe. Sloppy and Amateurish. I mean hech, even you forgot their was a server update tool for SourceDS. Let alone that Steam was built / created for this exact function. Let alone what your #1 Blockbuster FPS is.
