Valve dev reveals the purpose behind that annoying date, time watermark in CS2

You’ve probably booted up CS2 over the weekend, started exploring the HUD and interface, and then realized the date and time are wrong. Or so it seems. Yes, players have been looking for a way to disable this watermark, but one dev has suggested it might be worth keeping on.

Valve dev John McDonald explained on Oct. 1 that the time and date are simply so the team knows precisely what build of the game you are playing on. This information is incredibly helpful when it comes to reporting bugs and having them fixed in a timely fashion.
