CS: GO is a very big title that doesn’t get much news at the moment. The last years of CS development are referred to as stagnation and it is hardly surprising. This raises a question – how many people really work for Global Offensive to develop?

Getting to this information is not easy. Valve’s official response dates back to 2017, and there has been silence since then.

How many people are working on CS: GO?

Currently, Valve is reluctant to answer players’ questions, but it wasn’t always that way...

One of the Steam Workshop contributors for CSGO claims that his skin was changed after it was submitted for review, and that this change highlights a big problem with all AK-47 skins in the game.

The entry on the game’s subreddit showed an image from the AK Voltaic Steam market and compared it to how it looks in the game, and there are indeed a few differences...

ESIC in one of its official statements confirmed that it was investigating an issue that had been present in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive professional scene for about 18 months.

According to them, this was “a serious problem for the industry” and the community may be pleased that the investigation has paid off. 7 players received 12-month bans for professional competition in the game.

Who was blocked and what do we know from the ESIC report?

The vast majority of CS: GO players would like to see a breath of fresh air in the form of either a new operation or the new heart of the game. Valve has been making weird moves for a long time, updating individual, completely unrelated CS elements.

However, this raises more questions than it answers. For example, the latest update introduces a new code to the game referring to Source 2. What for and why?

Almost no one believes anymore

From what the people s...

The recent updates to Counter-Strike’s: Global Offensive may not have been very significant, but it does indicate that the development team is working hard on something big. This is not only about the work itself, but also a public call from a Chinese external customer to connect to the CSGO engine.

What are developers doing?

Valve’s developers “clean” their title from top to bottom...

Shroud’s last words made many players summarize Valve and the studio’s activities to date. It quickly turned out that, apart from Valve, other entities are not behaving properly.

CS: GO is one of the few such large games in which developers practically do not take any part in the life of a given production.

“Valve afk”

One of the professional coaches on his Twitter decided to list what he thought was failing or needing improvement...

CS: GO players tracked down a strange organization called “NOREG”, which at first glance was a thriving esports team. On their banners, in press releases, they informed about big sponsors, brilliant players or their results.

The community realized pretty quickly that something was wrong here, despite the fact that the Twitter account was run just like most teams do.

What’s all this for?

An organization called “NOREG” is formed on Twitter, publishing its messages, inform...

CS: GO players are incredibly creative, which can be seen above all in Reddit. Every now and then there are posts with various skins concepts, Counter Strike images, or entire maps.

A user with the nickname “taandcoh” surprised everyone by showing his wooden gaming gun.

How it’s working?

The player simply created a wooden version of the gun and attached it to the mouse. Thanks to this, he is able to aim, and he does it pretty well...

CS: GO is in a very strange place right now. Although Valve’s production seems to have a stable audience, since the huge jumps due to the pandemic, it is now rather on a downward trend. Shroud, one of the most popular streamers, decided to comment on the situation of CS.

Shroud is a former professional CSGO player who has played for Cloud9 in the past...

Updates in CS: GO, especially the small ones, can cause more problems than bring benefits. This is evident from the last patch, which, although it did not introduce anything special or fixed any bugs, broke one of the options.

How? The option cannot be turned off in any way. The switch in the settings just doesn’t respond.

What exactly did the CSGO developers broke?
