@gamesdotgg: Counter-Strike 2 players have discovered that in-game chat logs are publicly searchable online, and the implications are significant. A website has emerged that allows anyone to search through CS2 in-game messages by Steam ID, username, or keyword, pulling up everything players have typed in match chat going back months. The discovery has caused immediate concern across the community, with streamers and professional players particularly exposed - their Steam IDs are publicly known, meaning anyone can pull up their entire match chat history with minimal effort. Messages sent in what players assumed was a private or semi-private game environment are now fully accessible to the public with no opt-out mechanism currently available. Valve has not yet responded to the situation. Players are being advised to treat anything typed in CS2 match chat as permanently public record until further notice. #counterstrike #cs2 #counterstrike2 #valve #gamingnews
