Rumors about the removal of CS 2 developers 

On the web periodically walk all sorts of fakes like this: Valv convinced that the new Counter Strike did not go, did not gain the popularity that the developers hoped for, so they decided remove CS 2, do not bother with the release of the game and return to the good old CS:GO. Various people are even posting fake news supposedly from Valve where they refuse to release the game on behalf of the developers. Please disregard these untrue statements. The release of CS 2, scheduled for summer 2023, has been postponed but is sure to happen.

Another concern from the cacer community is whether Valve will be shutting down access to CS:GO after the launch of CS 2. Judging by the fact that the new Counter Strike is testing weapon skins, and the developers are actively solving problems with the transfer of inventory from CS:GO, apparently, the transition to CS 2 will be complete, and CS:GO will go into oblivion.
