Few hours later, Valve has updated the Source SDK licensing documentation when publishing Community-Mods on Steam with a new section about what should and shouldn't be used in your mod's title like "Ricochet Classic" or "Ricochet: Source".

Team Fortress 2 Classic had to cancel their Open Beta this Oct.

Main reason is "unable to set an app as a Demo and a Mod at same time" after review last minute. Valve has also informed, according to a secret ARG, they are not allowed to use "Classic" in the mod title on Steam.

For the first time ever, Valve has removed a CS2 community map from the rotation.

There was no confirmation on why it was removed, but the community has found significant issues present in the map 'Transit'. From copyright infringement, to an ARG crypto scam, a cheating program logo and the n-word.
