In games, bugs aren’t always catastrophic, sometimes they add a touch of innocence and lighten up what could be serious gameplay. Over its long history, Counter-Strike has had numerous fascinating tales to tell. With significant updates, new versions, and even an engine upgrade that led to the creation of CS2 (Counter-Strike 2), replacing the original CS:GO.
