#AllowClassicOffensive

[Gerald The Monkey]

Classic Offensive was cancelled upon receiving a Cease and Desist from Valve Software's social manager. The project was previously greenlit for Steam back in 2017, with Valve's approval.

Valve told the CO team do not hack CSGO's binaries to release a mod as its against the Guidelines
CSCO does exactly that
Valve rejects a steam release and tells them you can't throw it out in the wild either.

you do realise counter strike itself came off as a mod for half life?
but instead of striking it down they hired the mod devs to make counter strike a thing
now if they punish the mod devs for keeping the community alive just so they save their cashgrab casino from suffering losses, this will ruin the creativity and loyalty of community

Those who really thought that Valve would quietly release a remake of 1.6 that would inevitably compete with CS2 in one way or another are poor fools.
Valve is right and within its rights

Everyone knows CS started as a mod for the first few months of its existence,
Thats not the issue and yall should stop hiding behind it.
The issue is cut and dry The mod guidelines from valve say clearly do not create or distribute mods using hacked together binaries or unlicensed assets from valve, Which classic offense did.
Classic offensive made a mistake that valve told them not to do and it died as a result.

[skOsH♥]

I was looking forward to classic offensive

I hear they're still going to work on it and try to release it without steam...which I am all for. If valve tries to stop them even further than we'll know that they don't want users to have fun

You are 100% correct and CS2 should be boycotted.
I am uninstalling it now this is enough to show me what greed does to people and companies.

[ÐîGîTå£|Ãg€ñ†کmïth]

Just did an uninstall of the game! I will not return till Valve does change its views.

Google what is copyrights.
Valve bought the mod for their own game and hired the mod developers to make a standalone game from the mod further.
CS:CO devs just hacked copyrighted standalone Valve's game and trying to release it as their own game. Do these two situaions look the same for you?

It's only CS:CO devs fault on that. Or everyone can reverse-engineer any game, edit it and then release as their standalone game, lol.

You people should stop to spread misinformation. Zool and the mod team didn't use hacky moethods to mod CSGO, it's just that Valve changes mod policies like a whim and stayed in silence without consulting the mod that they themselves had approved on grentlit which is ridiculous. They don't want the mod to come out because it's not profitable and they are hiding behind the "use only these tools which we didn't warn you about and even though you didn't do anything illegal we won't approve your mod".

that is correct. Already told that on twitter politely that maybe they breaking the steam subscriber agreement because (didnt mention) they are using the "hacked source code". Have no idea how much I got hate for that. It's embarassing how CS2 and Steam community have become these days.

One thing that I'll tell which is true. I love CS2 and I love valve games. But I hate alot the community. This type of behaviour is embarassing to watch at 21st century

[Lixire]

Hearing a lot of news about it yet different reasons
The most believable one to me is that by the time they did plan on officially launching the mod. it was built on the unsupported CSGO release which Valve no longer licenses to developers/mod creators and instead wants them to use CS2 as a baseline or move to the general Source SDK.
