It also uses the same directory structure, the exe lives in steamapps\common\counter strike global offensive\

That's because in previous CS games there's always a chunk of the community that wants to stay behind for whatever reason. Valve doesn't want anyone on CS:GO anymore, so they just updated all copies to CS2.

For what it's worth Dota 2 lives in \Dota 2 beta\ because they didn't want people to redownload the game after launch, and probably didn't want to break things by messing with paths for cosmetic reasons.

Cool, Steam uses some of the same version control methodologies as me!

"SeniorThesisPresentation_Rev3_7.23.09_finalfinal_ReallyThisTime.ppt(2)" lives on.

Oh wow interesting, so you can’t play cs:go anymore? IMO this is a good idea as the community didn’t want to move to source a while back (it was a bad game tho)
