Funnily enough the same group found a wormable exploit in Valve's Alien Swarm, a mostly forgotten game with a tiny playerbase, and Valve fixed it in 3 months.

Meanwhile CS:GO, their flagship game with over a million daily peak players, has numerous wormable RCEs reported and ignored for as long as 2 years.

Valve works in mysterious ways.

I think the difference with this exploit is that according to the people who found the exploit, it affects all Valve games that use the Source engine, not just CS:GO like the article says. Trying to fix it could end up breaking multiple games if it's done incorrectly.
