By now the entire CS:GO community is all too familiar with how the game developers like to tease the members with some harmless banter on Twitter, for all those who are new to this remember the cheeky poll the developers put up minutes before releasing Operation Shattered Web.
Well, it looks like the developers are back with their shenanigans as they had tweeted out a series of cryptic messages yesterday which for some weird reason have now been deleted. Instead replaced by an apology which seems to have only added fuel to the fire.
The CS:GO Twitter account was exceptionally active yesterday as it published a series of now-deleted tweets, sparking various rumours ranging from the possible return of Cobblestone or Cache back into the Active Duty Map Pool, Mirage supposedly undergoing a rework, and something related to do with the AWP or the mechanics related to the weapon.
Here are the three random Tweets that has had the whole community coming up with numerous fan theories and assumptions,
All in all the community had a lot to talk about in a single day, waiting for the developers to clear out their doubts. But all they received was a mysterious apology from them earlier today claiming that the CS:GO account had been hacked.
This was a major downer as everyone started thinking was it actually a part of the massive ‘Bitcoin Hack’ that has been raging throughout Twitter, mostly effecting verified Twitter accounts. But as the above-mentioned Tweets were harmless and did not scam any of the users, this theory was certainly a bust.
With no proper clarity on the issue received till now, the possibility of all this leading to certain big changes is still very much on the cards. Let’s see if all of this was a high effort ruse or is the community actually too smart to be duped by the developers.
