Valve Issues Cease And Desist To Counter-Strike: Classic Offensive Mod Team After Previously Giving Approval, Shutting Down 8 Years Of Development
I wonder if, in the future, we'll look back at this lame decision as one of the turning points for Valve, we'll see how this develops and if this is just the start of a downwards trend
is it a lame decision? valve was okay with the project, until the devs used a method in the closed source part of source to do something. Valve then asked them to not do that, so the dev then implemented an even worse method than the first, which Valve than C&D altogether.
valve had 0 problems with the project, other than a very specific implementation they did with source engine, was asked to fix it, but chose not to do it.
Source? None of that's in the article. The article simply says Valve shut it down for being "derrivative work," a term which would include all mods.
Can you share more information?
This got rejected from Steam in January and the C&D was in March, but in between that Valve updated their Source SDK to add all TF2 source code, so it's not like they're completely anti-mod.
As usual, Valve doesn't communicate with anyone, so who knows what's going on there.
People are saying the reason is that they used/worked with leaked CS:GO code, which Valve doesn't like, but the devs deny it.
Ah I remember hearing about some jabronies using leaked code, I guess this is the same bunch?
Yeah. Did something happen to GabeN?
