Someone cracked/rip (don’t know the right term) CS:GO but only the 2020 version - https://hackvshack.net/threads/cs-go-2020-legacy-download-2023.2995
To fix Account Error, go to “csgo” folder, found “steam.inf”, or just “steam” file, change first line “ClientVersion” to “2000258”, and all will work

What’s the benefit of this? Cracking an online game that is free anyway
Some people don’t like the update because it removed game modes among other features. Yeah, I could get them back by self hosting a server and modifying parameters, but it’s a hassle.
It would have been nice if they simply released a new app instead of overwriting an existing version.
Am I missing something important here? Something new was achieved regarding the topic, or this is just a “hey, a reminder that valve games can be cracked too” kind of thread? Luckily, always been a common practice to archive old versions of all CS games. CS:GO in particular was always “cracked” with RevEmu (as the usual emulator of choice and shared on RIN as usual, to give one common example. Some sites used to share similar builds with every item unlocked, custom unofficial server lists and blahblah. It’s the reason why we still can play some versions from even 2012! Which is cool since they removed most maps some years later for some reason. 😔
No, nothing new here but good to know these games are crackable. Is it the same for CS2?
A quick search answers my question
