- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

What is their reason for abandoning the source version? I would assume it looks better, and it would be easier to fit for today’s gaming needs
If you ask me, the Source version didn't include any QoL improvements or anything that might make the game more modern feeling.
The "upgrades" are mostly new textures and effects that bugged out half the time. Plus all the gameplay bugs that it introduced.
Even before the update most people were recommending the OG above the Source version, so it makes sense that they would update that one.
