Counter-Strike 2 is out, but it’s not Steam Deck Verified (www.theverge.com)

This just seems odd to me. I know it’s a competitive game, and most folks will be playing with a mouse and keyboard, but it feels weird for Valve to put out a brand new game (built from scratch, at that) and not plan for this.

Preface: I am no game developer, but I am a software developer

This comment does not make sense to me. There is no "simply" bringing any game to any other engine. Doing this is a huge undertaking and I can't imagine not basically starting from scratch, saving the art assets and bits of pieces of the code (given it's written in the same language).

I am a game developer and can tell you that bringing a game from unreal 4 to unreal 5 is pretty straight forward, you can disable the new features like lumen and get the same result. Some moves are harder. Like unity to godot or unreal is a huge change but source to source 2 doesn't seem like a huge move. They didn't rewrite the entire engine for it. That said they did replace and rewrite a lot of things. The gameplay logic is generally still the same code.

I guess that makes sense. Thanks for the insight!

Source 2 is basically the same engine but with better physics and graphics afaik
