Gamers cancel Counter-Strike creator ‘Gooseman’ over crypto scam involvement

The gaming community has reacted with significant backlash following the debut of a new memecoin.

Minh “Gooseman” Le, the legendary co-creator of Counter-Strike, recently found himself under fire after his name became associated with what many fans labeled a “crypto scam.”

An anonymous entity launched a memecoin featuring Le’s brand, claiming that a percentage of the trading commissions would be funneled to him as a tribute for his work on the iconic FPS series.

Gooseman quickly recognized the error in judgment regarding his tacit endorsement of the dubious project.

After issuing a public apology, he investigated the mechanics of the token and announced he would buy back the assets to lock them away permanently:
