THE OPEN LETTER

August 31, 2026

Dear Valve Corporation,

For years, we — the Counter-Strike community — have watched in silence as you collected billions from our passion while giving back the bare minimum.

We trusted you. We bought your keys, traded on your market, watched your Majors, and defended your name. In return, we got an anti-cheat system that hasn't meaningfully evolved in over a decade. We got ignored bug reports, unanswered community requests, and silence.

Let's talk numbers. Counter-Strike 2 generates an estimated $1+ billion per year — $3+ million every single day — from case keys, market fees, and microtransactions. That money comes from us. From every key we buy, every skin we trade, every hour we invest in your game.

And what do we get in return?

Cheaters in every other match. A VAC system so outdated that free cheats bypass it within hours. No hardware bans. No transparency. No communication. No accountability.

The community demands:

  • • A modern anti-cheat system on par with industry standards
  • • Hardware bans for repeat offenders
  • • Faster detection — days, not months
  • • Transparent communication about anti-cheat efforts
  • • Feedback when player reports lead to bans
  • + community-voted requests coming soon...

But this isn't just about cheaters anymore. It's about years of neglected features, broken promises, and a community that feels abandoned by the company that should be its biggest champion. Players have been requesting basic improvements for years — and receiving nothing but silence.

You can't “do nothing and win” forever.

On August 31, 2026, we will deliver this letter — with every signature attached — directly to your offices. And then we will publish your response.

Or your silence. The world will see either way.

The choice is yours.

With urgency and resolve,

Lukas Majoros

on behalf of the Counter-Strike community

Not just about cheaters

This letter carries the voice of the entire community. Broken features, ignored requests, missing communication — years of “do nothing and win” end here. Your opinions and votes shape what goes into this letter.
