The developer in me find it weird that they didn't make a new database record for this internally.
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.
"SeniorThesisPresentation_Rev3_7.23.09_finalfinal_ReallyThisTime.ppt(2)" lives on.
The 'steamcmd' tool used to manage servers uses the same IDs.
The configs probably differ, that'll be fun. My client config seems to need updated, it's not executing.
Edit: For those with custom client configs, they used to go here, under the 'Counter-Strike Global Offensive' dir:
csgo/cfg/
game/csgo/cfg/CS2 does exactly none of these things and instead keeps the gameplay and social contract largely unchanged. Gameplay issues with smokes have finally been addressed, the game renderer has been modernized, and the playerbase reaction is overwhelmingly positive.
Looking at reddit, it doesn't look like it, but that's just reddit. I don't like it too. It's just a worse-looking, worse-performing game. The gamemodes and maps I liked are gone too.
I enjoy it, they dealt with my major complaint with GO - the colors being dreadful/dreary. I appreciate how things generally feel brighter.
That said, I am having some weird visual things. Dynamic lights and the player contrast/highlight thing mess up smokes pretty good:

This is on Fedora with Flatpak Steam, latest stable kernel/Mesa.
Performance does need some work; when I manage to get it to actually ignore vsync (hence ~160 FPS), my frame times are all over the place - with a 7950X3D and 6900XT.
