Valve stopped a team from releasing their Counter-Strike mod after eight years of work. The Classic Offensive team first received approval in 2017, but Valve changed its mind earlier this year. The creators tried asking why Valve rejected them from Steam, but received no answers. Valve sent legal papers just before the team planned to share their work through another website. They claimed the mod breaks the rules about using their game ideas.
The mod makers warned other creators about working with Valve. They said Valve takes good ideas from fans but can shut down projects without warning. The team shared all dates on their website to show how long they worked with Valve. Fans who wanted to play Classic Offensive feel disappointed about the sudden change. This raises questions about other mods like CS: GO Legacy that people work on right now.
