CS:CO went into “early access” in 2016 and first went through the Steam Greenlight process back in 2017, and its long and arduous development process was coming to a close late last year. Its design goal was to use a wider range of the Source tools available in games like Portal 2 to make a return to the core gameplay experience without a focus on matchmaking, skins and gambling, mixing elements of 1.6 and CS:GO to create something unique and more community-focused. The {LÄNK BORTTAGEN}Counter-Strike mod, penned for a 2024 holiday season release, was ultimately pushed back to early 2025, and today, it seems to have hit a dead end after the app was retired from Steam with no comment from Valve, despite previous interactions.
