Where are these guys when you need them? Do fan games not count?

>>714370980
You just a script kid blud :skull:

so how is CS2 content wise? they added in the map T and CT models back in? what about side modes like danger zone? more maps? anything?

>>714371484
>so how is CS2 content wise
The only content they don't fail to deliver is more microtransactions.

>>714370916 (OP)
Why Gaben is so hostile towards it? I don't he would lose any money

>>714371484
They'll never add the player models back because now they're focused on those gay operator skins.

>a dozen source mod exist, include blackmesa and entropy zero that has as a little originality tacked on much of the source asset while still exist on steam
>The team has someone worked on cs pro before, yet another source mod to make CS1.6 on source.
I think it's a fake news from the devs or impersonator sent the email because promod went no where.

>>714370916 (OP)
Ca't they just accidentally leak the game or some shit?

they say it themselves
they can remake it into a legally distinct cs that plays similarly enough, and release a new cs killer
the same thing happened to tales of maj’eyal, and it’s doing well enough
now watch as this thread gets 300 replies because anons can’t read

>anon discovers today that you can't use somebody else IP
why are underages allowed here

>>714370916 (OP)
Why not just play 1.6?

>>714373259
Old valve would have allowed this, you're underage. New valve just want you to gamble and buy hats, and will sue you if you mod the game.

>>714374134
old valve doesn't exists anymore retarded underage
welcome to 2025, its not 2000 anymore

>>714370916 (OP)
wouldnt be suprised if these retards got an email from daven@vaivesoftware.com and shit their pants thinking its real
that being said, cs:co got sent a cease and desist because zool and his team were going to be requiring csgo binaries for the mod to be functional
csgo is technically no longer available on the steam store (yes, even if its available as a cs2 beta opt-in) so im not suprised valve took action
cs:co also never communicated with valve at all in the 9 years of its development so that was entirely their own blunder.
if this is a legit email from valve then its more than likely valve reminding cslegacy of what makes a source mod commercial/non-commercial
>If your mod includes paid advertising or requires payment, whether in the game itself or outside of it, it is considered commercial. If a player can receive items, features, or gameplay after making a payment of any kind or a “donation,” it is considered a commercial use.

>>714374134
Old valve absolutely would not let someone reskin dota 2 for example and just rerelease it for money lol
The only time they remotely allowed a big project like this to release was black mesa and thats because its a single player of a game most people already own
If cs legacy is allowed to exist thats potential cs2 players hopping over and spending money on lootboxes in that game

>>714375565
>dota 2
>old valve

>>714375680
Nigga it released in 2011. That was p
half of the company’s life ago

>>714373340
>anon thinks its in playable state
not since 2013
its full of hackers, pay to win servers and thirdie bots
there are literally no regular servers to play on

>>714375303
>cs:co also never communicated with valve at all in the 9 years of its development
they got greenlit in 2017, asked for a source license in late 2019 and told no, had a slow 2020 without much activity, asked again in 2021 and all years afterwards but got ignored with no communication until a C&D.
the simple answer is that valve isn't the valve of 2010 anymore and just doesn't support modders if it can affect an active big money maker. or they just have no ability to communicate at all because one random person who manages comms sits on their ass and leaves after 3 days because of their retarded structure where no one has to do any work.

>>714375891
unfortunate truth. unless you can speak r*ssian or uzbek and play in the PUGs that they still set up over there, game's borderline unplayable.

>NOOOOOO VALVE IS SHUTTING DOWN FAN PROJECTS

>>714370916 (OP)
Never got all these dumbfuck modders relying on the graces of megacorps. Valve got especially jewish regarding their IP lately. Make a legally distinct clone and own your damn work.

That's not what it said.
It says they now need a license to release the game, like Black Mesa.
The issue is if Valve will give it to them or not.

>>714370916 (OP)
They could've asked permission first for the fan project and told it was strictly for non-profit, the funds would've gone to help run the servers if any were generated. Really no, its that simple, if they say yes and like what you are doing they will let you do it.

>people STILL bootlicking Valve and claiming Zool stole assets after this mod goes out of their way to do everything right and still gets fucked

Valve isn't the same company any more, TF2/HL mods still get away with it because other than TF2 key sales they don't have economies that make them millions per month. If even 50k people switched to CS:L or it got a FACEIT league it would still be a fuckton of lost revenue for them. It was never about anything but not wanting people to leave the lootbox casino.

>>714378198
>make them millions per month
lol
more like hundreds of millions
CS is easily a $2b/yr game with key sales + market transaction fees

>all these illiterate jeets getting angry at Volvo

>>714377631
I remember Black Mesa was only able to get a license after YEARS of work. Valve wants to see a potential product before giving away licenses.

>>714378198
The sales though are a good reason to still support Volvo over China Games.

>>714378198
>Valve is shit so I'm justified stealing
Just don't break the law lil bro

>>714371880
i wish i could disable operator skins, these shitty things impact visibility

KWAB.people will still lick jewben's ass so it doesn't matter.

>>714378365
>Valve wants to see a potential product before giving away licenses.
Valve is really funny with this. It was one guy at Valve handling Source licensing up until Hunt Down the Freeman where (a year after nearly to the day of its release) died and Valve stopped handing out licenses as much. It was pretty much 'if you had the money, you got one' but now you've got very little chance as a mod team to get one simply because no one wants to deal with the paperwork.

>>714370916 (OP)
Well, they need to make an new name for CS fan project. Valve will not get sued over that.

>>714374134
Pretty much. Valve died years ago

>>714370916 (OP)
what's the downside to going back to 1.6? Aside from finding servers

>>714370980
Now honesty, that'll take you somewhere.

>>714374276
Yes anon, that is in fact what the anon was fucking saying to begin with.

>>714377631
oh yeah, that totally worked for Classic Offensive
retard

>>714375838
>not even earlier than half way
So even by your own argument it's not old valve.

No one considers Dota 2 to be old valve. Dota 2 is literally when valve began turning to shit, i.e. new valve. Old valve didn't even use a live service model.

>>714374134
examples

>>714376359
>not mentioned: them using assets without asking first
why are this fags so disingenuous

>>714381083
you mean the tards that dmited to use things without any permission ir consent from valve?

>>714382832
Never happened for because they just used CS:GO as a mod base and not anything else.

>m-m-muuuuh old valve would have never hecking do that
whay does this shit even mean you tards? seriously what does it fucking means?

you talking about the same guys that were ready to send the fag that leaked the early hl2 build to jail? is nu-/v/ so stupid that they confuse shit like L4D or Portal with whatever the shit is in the op?

>>714382958
>never happened
it did tho, stop saying retarded shit and read about the group of faggot ass trannies you are defending and their fuck ups

>>714383224
Prove it then.

>>714370916 (OP)
good
hate cs
hope cs shitters suffer
oldfags who played surf maps only were ok though
and also the guy who did the cs stick figure animations
fuck everyone else though

>>714374134
CS Legacy and Classic Offensive are both literally Counter Strike. They are direct clones of valve's game and are both trying to associate themselves to CS with their names. You can barely call either of them mods.

>>714370916 (OP)
Imagine if valve put this much effort into making an actual anticheat.

>>714376454
they only "stole" the counterstrike branding

>old valve
>literally taking someone else IP and entire studio for their own profits.
????????????????

>>714370916 (OP)
i was playing it a few weeks ago, it didnt have a big NA playerbase.....

>>714373064
no one cares if you can't play dust2

>>714388106
A lot of these mods are made by Euros who played CS 1.6 and Source longer than anyone else did. Classic Offensive had a lot of Euro devs too.

>>714374134
>Old valve would have allowed this,
No, they allow mods. Not using their leaked source code for your own commercial product.

>>714372463
>I think it's a fake news from the devs or impersonator sent the email because promod went no where.
No, Gayben hired the campo santo faggots and they've always been power tripping ever since they DMCA'd pewdiepie over the bridge incident. They've been behind all the dumb changes to steam community shit as well.

Mary strikes again

>>714379826
>>714374276
Old Valve tried to trick the guy who leaked their HL2 source code into flying to America so they can have him arrested. There was never a retarded version of valve who didn't care about their you fucking around with leaked stuff instead of making an actual mod.

>>714387928
Can't they just call it Contra Stroke and slightly modify the copyrighted stuff and launch it on epic games and gog?

>>714371484
Barren. They aren't even doing operations anymore. They just dropped that turd and once in a while they fix bugs people reported over a year ago and polish some things really and there.
I guess they really are working on Deadlock and HL3, only explanation for not doing fuck all.

Just play 1.6 like a decent human being.

shame valve was allowed to kill csgo

>>714389449
Not the same project. This one is using Source SDK.

>>714389873
Nah, it's on Source. Valve doesn't let developers do Source games on other platforms. They especially won't now knowing it was a Counter-Strike thing.

>>714384809
do your own investigation retard

>>714391273
It's okay to admit you misremembered something and got it wrong. You're probably thinking about OpenFortress and TF2 Classic which used leaked NextBot code and was part of why they got DMCA'd. Classic Offensive didn't use any leaked assets or stolen code. Valve just didn't like them using the Counter-Strike IP despite it not conflicting with the modding agreement on Steam.

>>714370916 (OP)
>same maps as nu-cs, no classics
>same focus on modern e-sport cancer
>all of the jank of old cs

What a fucking stupidass concept

>>714390186
literally no human beings plays the game anymore thats why we need something new but based on its skeleton.

poor fat slob
he needs money to fix his little Rocinante and his shitty racing team
boo le hoo
steamdies will clap to this

>>714388146
They just have to make a very similar map and call it clean_your_room2

>>714391915
>co didn't
its ok to admit you are retarded instead of embarassing yourself like this
they did and you can, again do your own investigation tard it wull not take you longer than a couple of minutes

>>714390117
No they killed CSGO for profit. That’s the real reason.

>>714370916 (OP)
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT's A GOOD THING HE NUKEDD THE FAN PROJECT CUZ LORD GABEN SAMA WOULDN't BE ABLE TO PAY FOR HIS 3rd YACHT!

>>714398062
who are you quoting?

>>714370916 (OP)
lol but niggas told me a few months back that the only reason the first fan game got shut down is because it used assets and this one would be fine since it was built from the ground up you niggas gotta accept this is not the same valve from 10 years ago if it was those projects would be still fine plus they dont want competition going up against cs2 at all its very nasty work from valve when they got built up from these mods from cs to dota

>>714371239
you know these niggas dont care about shit like that lets be real

>>714370916 (OP)
Boomers malding
Back to CS2 you lot go!

>>714370916 (OP)
It's because you idiots just call this exactly the same name as the original. If you'd call it like Rebound Slash or something they'd never know or care.

>>714398118
half the thread

>>714398279
they lied about it being original, this uses source code from a leak of CS code
