That really sucks. I guess I can see why Valve is not so permissive when it comes to one of their major cash cows. But it seems like they handled this really poorly by initially signalling permission for the project and then deciding otherwise at the last minute and after years of work.
There was a separate thread on Lemmy, where someone found out Devs of CO used leaked source code of the Source Engine from 2017, hence the C&D
I don’t get it. Used it for what? Why would they need leaked source engine code to make a mod for the source engine with the official SDK?
That would make sense, if true.
I'd be curious to see that if you have the link. The mod devs state in their FAQ that they're not using any leaked code, but of course it's possible that they're lying.
Here, though there isn't anything super concrete.
It sucks but CO missed its opportunity. It's a mod that's been in development seemingly forever. The main guy was constantly making side projects with no updates on CO. Another project called CS Legacy was announced recently and then all of a sudden we hear from CSCO. Apparently CSCO submitted a build in October last year though, but still, it feels like they sat on the project until something else forced them to get a move on.
I’m speculating but I bet they didn’t expect so many people to care about it. With the current state of cs2 and it being so tied to them milking the skin market for money, I’ll bet someone high up said pull the plug just in case.
