[Strata Source Index Page] Portal 2 is older than CSGO. #52

Closed ashifolfi closed 6 months ago

original sentence that was modified read:

Strata Source started development in the June of 2020 as a fork of CSGO’s engine branch with Portal 2 features backported.

Backporting is when you take features from a newer version of software and port them to an older version of the software.

The implication that was made here was that Portal 2 is newer than CSGO, which is very incorrect given CSGO released after Portal 2, and has it's engine branch branching off of Portal 2's.

As such the correct phrasing would be to say that the features were ported over, not backported.

image VDC page on engine branches backs up the claim that backporting is not the correct phrasing
