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.

    What do you mean free? You literally can't get this even with money. It's called preservation and people enjoying the "good old versions"

    CS:GO is a free game. I was wondering about pirating a game that is 100% online. Are people downloading this only playing against bots? Are there going to be private servers also rolledback to a previous version? I'm just curious

    Was* a free game. Now it's unavailable with no legal means of getting it.

    Are there going to be private servers also rolledback to a previous version?

    There have always been something called "legacy servers". The link in this post that links to the download actually includes some of those servers.
