    So basically nobody meets these requirements, right? Practically no one has a sound card, and even the storage requirement is pretty steep. The Steam deck for example only has 64 total, and if you have one of the more expensive ones with more space, what are the chances that you still have 85GB free? My games drive on my very high end PC currently has less, and I also don’t have a PCI sound card.

      85GB is actually shockingly huge for Counter-Strike considering CS:GO was like 16GB. For comparison, Doom Eternal is 80GB, Cyberpunk is 70, and Elden Ring and Armored Core VI are both 60.

      The sound card’s just recommended though so whatever.

        Another thing that makes it a bad decision/situation is that CS is one of those games that players want to keep installed. It’s not a single player story where you finish it, then you free that space back up for the next game. And it’s also not a MS Flight Sim or The Sims where it’s the only game you play every day. CS you come back to regularly, but never value that strongly. It should load quick and be free to keep installed.

      Yeah, it’s insane to suggest a sound card instead of spending the time to fix it or just not release the Linux version.
