@eukara @Xylemon to support your rant: people are desperate to fix Valve games for them, and that always been like this. They are even resorting to using leaked sources (like TF2 guys do), not because they want to steal something, but because they're just fixing their favorite games.

GoldSrc is the worst case. I understand it's 25 years old game engine but then just open-source it. id Software has been doing this and nobody has died. There are NO secrets in this game engine anymore, since they ported it to Linux and published unstripped binaries. They're not encrypting binaries. I would even tell ya that GoldSrc VAC just probably doesn't even exist anymore.

Bugtracker on GitHub is dead since Alfred left Valve and Mikela stopped supporting GoldSrc too. As far as I know, they don't even care about security vulnerabilities in GoldSrc. If you open the bugtracker, the latest issue would be a report about possible memory corruption.

And open SteamDB: there are people still playing it every day.
