The latest Counter Strike: Global Offensive patch, released on Dec. 17, introduces buy menu donation key and various quality of life changes to the game.
CS:GO received its fourth update patch since the release of Operation Broken Fang on Dec. 4, 2020.
The most striking part of the update was the introduction of a buy menu donation key (CTRL by default) to the game.
The feature received mixed reactions by the community, some calling it out as a feature copied from the game’s competitor Valorant.
Bro they stole our whole flow we can yoink some features.
