Dear Counter-Strike community, Since we've submitted our build to Steamworks, we've received an automated Steam Support message about having retired our app without any reason explained. This is devastating as we've worked on the project for almost 8 years now. We do not understand what happened, we went through Steam Greenlight back in 2017, talked to legal to know if this was possible for us to release on Steam. We even discussed with some of the developers on different Valve projects, and they have been very cooperative in helping us figure out the means of release back then. After some requested legal changes due to the usage of Valve's IP, we were off on a good start, our mod page was created on Steamworks, things were looking promising and the team was extremely motivated. Steamworks had requested that we finish the build before being able to release, and now that we did, we are unable to publish it. The project has been sticking to the guidelines on how to release a mod on Steam, we've followed the requirements and recommendations to the letter, no leaked code was used, or illegal actions were taken for those wondering, we've played by their rules the whole time, sometimes even to the detriment of the quality of the mod: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/sdk/uploading/distributing_source_engine Nobody at Valve told us to stop what we were doing during all those years, no sort of formal request, yet this feels like an even worse form of Cease and Desist at this poi

@a1ba I forgot, was this the mod that was trying to replicate the CS 1.6 feel?
