Turns out a tweet was all Valve had cooking for Counter-Strike’s 25th anniversary

The 25th anniversary of one of the longest-running franchises in gaming history has passed with no thunderous applause and no bang whatsoever. Valve only found it apt to publish a single tweet for this landmark milestone, leaving many Counter-Strike fans disgruntled and disappointed.

Counter-Strike launched into beta on June 19, 1999, precisely 25 years ago. For the 20th anniversary of the franchise, Valve launched a CS20 case in 2019, which included numerous skins inspired by the franchise’s history. Though even that was quite underwhelming, it was at least something and not a single tweet celebrating the series’ long lifespan. Fans have been begging for a 25th-anniversary update for the past week or so and the Steam discussions tab was overwhelmed by those asking “where’s the update” since yesterday.
