Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is back: 3 years after it was muscled out by Counter-Strike 2, CS:GO has its own Steam page again and has powered its way back onto Steam's most-played chart

I have no idea what to make of this, but more than two years after it was folded into Counter-Strike 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is back on Steam.

CS:GO was never fully scrubbed out of existence: Committed diehards could continue accessing the OG GO through a CS2 beta build, unceremoniously named "csgo_demo_viewer." Online matchmaking was disabled, though, so play was restricted to matches with bots.

Now, for some reason, CS:GO has its own standalone Steam page again, although it's somewhat limited too.
