Prior to the map getting removed, I clearly recall there being around 5-6 developers instead of just these 3

I watched one of the developers youtube videos where they were talking about how happy they were that their 3rd map got added, doing so in Russian, the video of which I can no longer find on youtube.

I think the issue of why their map got removed may have stemmed from them wanting to sell the rights to their map, to external sponsors, who were going to get a cut of the shares if the map were to get added

Following up on this thought process, the most current accusations, that I definitely side with in how I believe them to be true, is that they were also utilizing malware to mine crypto off of the PC's of people who ran their map, as I myself had begun experiencing the absolute worst lag that was present across all players that were playing wingman on that map

I think Valve cracked down on these practices, and on how they were both trying to mine crypto, sell map rights to external investors, and were also potentially utilizing stolen assets, with my assumption being that they were directly ripped from stray.

I feel like the cat poster and its easter egg were more than just an easter egg, but more as a point of ridicule in what they were trying to get away with




DO NOTE: Besides the fact of there being more developers previously associated with this map submission, who now have gotten removed for whatever reason, I presume that all of the later aformentioned statements to be "only speculations"

This map, despite its remotely problematic playstyle, was still styalistically good looking that I would see it get added

But with me having NEVER seen a CS2 map get removed, I can genuinely only anticipate the worst, unless both valve and the developers give some commentary on their decision making
