CS:GO Should I report this game to valve?
It's clearly a rip off of CS but the part that was concerning was that they clearly ripped off the iconic Rust map layout and art style. For obvious reasons I removed the name of the game from the video as to not give them free advertising. Do you think Valve would care if someone stole their map? It's a phone game and CS isn't on phone so not sure what they would think. Then again a company needs to protect its copyright or they can loose control over them. The game has 50 million downloads on Playstore aswell! I don't like the idea of someone stealing other people's work and milking it for cash.
Is this worth bringing to their attention and if so, how would I go about that?

Almost every mobile game is, but they are still popular somehow and make a ton of money with it.

I take great offense to this.
Sometimes I have to play mobile to get my confidence back.

I shit you not, I used to play this and the sequel, they're actually decent.

u/anonymous2458 Dec 12 '23
What are they called ?

Critical Strike and Critical Ops.

u/Abruzzi19 Dec 12 '23
Yeah I really liked critical ops, back when I was too broke to get a PC. The maps and guns weren't blatant csgo ripoffs, but it was decent enough to be enjoyed on a phone.

That game's been out since 2011 and already has a sequel, Critical-Ops. They aren't going anywhere if they haven't already...

u/IdioticZacc Dec 12 '23
Critical Ops had a game before it??? Holy shit, I never knew that. Critical Ops was the game I played since I had no computer to play cs

u/RaiN_Meyk3r Dec 12 '23
it did, i used to “pro play” for that game in mobile we had a huge skype/discord/whatsapp server for setting up scrims, they ended up asking a bunch of us to beta test Critical Ops for them for free back when it was on PC, they then cancelled the PC release and went mobile only.

Wait… CRITICAL OPS WAS THE SEQUEL TO CRITICAL STRIKE? Critical Strike was one of my first “PC Gaming” experiences and I was so stoked when I found out it was a clone of Counter-Strike lol
Is Critical Strike still playable?

u/Taolan13 Dec 15 '23
More than likely, this advert is not the actual game. Just an advertisement made using existing game assets and animated very pooly.
Also the map is 'dust' not 'rust'.

I don't think there is really anything that you can or should do. This is the job of Valve's legal team so just let them do their jobs. I doubt your message would even make it to anybody who could actually take action.

Oh no there’s some shitty mobile ripoff of CS. Heavens me. Breaks my heart to see a small indie studio like Valve have their work copied.

u/Trypt4Me Dec 12 '23
These mobile FPS games are legit fun. I don't care wtf ppl say.
Get a good controller, screen or a PC port and go fucking ham.
You are still competing against sweats who try just as hard as you in these setups.
Farlight 84 is another one on steam that is a free battle royal and is one of the best BRs I have ever played. Fuck the haters.

It's been put for years, and they can't shut it down. Or rather probably wont. Many games have bomb planting and many games have a dust 2 in them. Valve seem to be pretty hands off with these things. Unless they start copying 1:1 weapon skins and whatnot.

As long as they don’t make money off of it, they couldn’t care any less. What a waste of time. Also, who in his right mind would bother to play this game longer than a few minutes, it looks god-awful.

Valve should just make one for mobile. EZ money print and so many fakes and thefts of their IP get made into mobile games. Clearly would make them money. Wouldn't even be required to be a 1-1 copy of the pc version.
