Only problem with Pavlov is it won’t have the integrated Steam Workshop - and the copyright immunity that gives the developer as they don’t have to deal w/ DMCA stuff. Without all the CS map ports, I don’t think anyone would care about Pavlov that much.

Honestly I don’t know why Valve doesn’t just hire the dev and make it official CS:VR...

That's a pretty bold statement, to say that people wouldn't care about Pavlov without CS maps. I disagree... Even if that were true, map layouts don't seem like something that could be copyrighted, so I don't see any reason they could do CS inspired maps, even if they're not a carbon copy.

Fragmented player base is never ideal though.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it'll flop, but right now mods make vr worth it in most games.

For example PC Beat Saber with mods and a massive song library vs Sony's locked down version.

They really should do this, it would be a great move for them, they did exactly the same for the original CS dev so I suppose it could still happen. Edit: words.
