And cs2 is about to be released. Funny timing.

You could dev a PC AAA game and released it only for elf/linux. It is so easy to install free mainstream elf/linux distros, ppl will probably do it to play that big PC AAA game.

Probably a good thing as from my understanding there is an uncertainty whether a version of CSGO will exist. For example there are some old patch versions available from circa ~2013 which are still playable.

Not sure if that will be possible after the move to CS2. You would think so, but at the very least, "Kisak-Strike: Gentoo Offensive" will exist.

Anyone have a magnet link to the original full.7z as a torrent?

Both of which lead to:

Also, really admire the level of skill, dedication, and degree of focus it took to pull this off. I'm good at most of the areas used in this article, except the RE, and this was undoubtedly a TON of work for one lone wolf to execute on! Huge respect for this person. Then creating such an amazingly detailed technical write-up with the entertaining story bits and cute references like ".. us smoothskins ..", I had to look it up:

Thank you so much, @LWSS (the author)!

The title says "open source" but then goes on to talk about leaked source. Unless a clean room RE was done, I don't think this can be called "open source". I want the thing in the title to exist, of course, but at best this seems like the sort of thing that won't be legal and free until we're all dead.

If anyone was interested in making a properly free CS:GO, they probably should avoid reading this post as it seems to show the leaked source.

I got the same impression, is he suggesting that the code itself is open source, or did he rewrite everything (not only the binaries he mentioned)

I dream of a day when the source code for Mario Kart Wii is leaked (my favorite game), but I guess CS:Go and TF2 is already something.

But to be honest, in the future there will be powerful models trained to reverse engineer binaries, so it probably won't be necessary.
