Earlier today, anyone trying to find or play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on Steam there was a strange surprise: the game was missing. It disappeared.

He soon returned, but for a while one of the biggest video games on the planet just came and went. The store page featured “OOPS, SORRY!” message, and your simultaneous player count has been eliminated.

How Steamvel Pavel Djundik noted, Counterattack it was not the only game affected, with a handful of other titles disappearing as well.

While Valve says Kotaku the disappearance was “just a hiccup on the backend”, let’s not dismiss the fact Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has been working every day since 2012 without stopping. Maybe he just needed a morning off, enjoying a cup of tea, reading a magazine, organizing his thoughts for a moment.
