Vandal is not Christian name for map - you need rethink name for your old map. And greed is a sin, your map hasn't been updated in a while so I don't think the person had malicious intent, brother.

Such as the joys of life, map names must be shared as well.
That way we can achieve peace and harmony within our community.

you should sue riot games as well, they named one of their guns after your map! clearly agents of satan

A names a name, Im not doing this maliciously, but I have no plans on changing it.

Grow up, you sound like a fool

Right, go ahead and call your next painting the Mona Lisa because it hasn't been updated in so long the name is available again.

I'm an artist who takes pride in his work and I'm wondering why if there is a map on the workshop called Vandal that is like 10+ years old, why would he take the name? Even in mainstream music people use the own unique song names as often as possible

No I don't agree, I hold mapping to a very high standard, same as music or film.

I came up with Vandal, why can't this dude respect that?

In all other artistic professions, we try to avoid taking things that are already used. It is going to happen that there are many songs called "love hurts", but the name vandal has many alternatives, like Ruffian.

It's not acceptable someone released another de_dust, sorry name is taken.

damn dude you should have renewed the trademark.

vandal is a very generic word, also how tf is the creator supposed to know a map from 2014 exists, this is literally just like when the Fine Bros tried to copyright the word react... also you haven't even ported your map to CS2 in the first place, don't be so demanding if YOU haven't put in the work to even try to bring new standards for a map that is outdated even by CSGO's standards previously before CS2's release... it was last updated in 2014 for christ's sake! come to think of it, the creator is in the right and can take the "name" first because YOU failed to port your map in time for CS2's release with its workshop tools available ages ago.

The workshop tools have only recently been made available for CSGO.

It is still theft of a map name. The name Dust is generic as well, doesn't mean you can use it.

All you can do is make excuses lol

aren't you the one making excuses for not updating your map to CS2 and CSGO's new standards since 2014 and thus maintaining its status as an original work with its likeness protected? i also see your lack of presence in the CSGO version of this map (it has its own workshop page), perhaps you could elaborate on either? by all means, instead of attempting to solve your problems like a proper person via negotiation you'd rather bully and create hate comments and threads? you could have had an entirely different outcome had you not been so provocative of your 'artist profession' being protected for a map that is for a different game.

also the _dust maps are official maps (including all the versions like dust2 and dust), which are monetised and are of property to Valve. Workshop maps aren't, with the exception of the couple maps Valve bought (Anubis). as it stands, the copyright for workshop content is generally protected under the bleak definitions of Creative Commons, as the workshop is un-monetised and operated under Valve. so technically you have no right to claim original ownership as the creator has not used any likeness from your map, including assets and ideas.

Painting cant updating. You're missing the point of the conversation. Your map is abandoded and didn't get into operations, so what do you care if someone else used the same name(greed) . And you became proud, you are comparing yourself with widely recognized genius, not with millions of artist, who people dont remember and who have same names of paintings. And Mona Lisa is widely known and just bad manners naming same name, not really ban - your map is not widely known
