Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is making an unexpected comeback.
Even though Counter-Strike 2 is still the biggest game on Steam, thousands of players are returning to CS:GO after it became available as a standalone game again.
The game recently reached a new peak of 68,664 concurrent players, the highest since its return.
A counterintuitive thing about the AI cycle is how things that you'd think should kill startups keep turning out to be tailwinds.
Labs are good at code -> Cursor, Cog, Lovable, etc
Labs are security gods -> security cos crush
Frontier beats OSS -> inference startups go nuts
Etc
