Valve is pretty much cool with everything unless using leaked source code, that’s why releasing the tf2 source code was such a big deal recently. Now all the standalone tf2 mods can be legitimate and live on steam, previously they used leaked source code and valve has no chill for that.
I assume this is the same thing happening with cs, the devs are using some type of leaked code to do something in specific and valve isn’t cool with that.
I don’t have a source but what the guy above described is exactly how valve operates and lines up with previous actions taken with tf2.
Bottom line, valve loves modders, modders are legitimately why they are the company they are today and they know that and in general want to support the modding community. Just don’t use leaked/closed source code

I am shocked, shocked, that wccftech left things out of their reporting.
