After 8 years of development, unfortunately, it wasn't worth the wait.

MODERATORS
when the TF2 mods that were barred on these grounds are currently in the process of being released on steam.
TF2 now has an official SDK which those mods are using instead of the source code leaks. There is no equivalent SDK for CS:GO/CS2.
The fact that every other sourcemod that isn't based on leaked code has always been approved suggests that there's something else at play here.
I hope they're able to resolve whatever the issue is. In theory there's nothing stopping them from just releasing it as a standalone sourcemod, like those TF2 projects before the official SDK was out, unless they've attached their real identities to the mod. If not, there's always the newly announced CS:Legacy (which uses Source SDK 2013) I guess.
While there aren't any great sources in here, it seems a little more complicated than "Valve hates them arbitrarily."
Their FAQ says they've never used any leaked code. It's incredible that there are always people defending Valve for doing and being everything they otherwise hate.
It's more than likely just gross incompetence from valves flat structure management.
or you think valve is legitmately having a disinformation campaign
Also Valve doesn't need to do anything when they have such a pervasive cult of personality.
not cool valve
