If you're looking to set up a CS:GO server without using Steam, you're embarking on a tricky journey since the game is tightly integrated with Steam for multiplayer matchmaking. However, you can create a game server using dedicated server software available from sources online. Be cautious, as these might not be officially supported and could lead to a less stable gaming experience. Your best bet is to rent a server from a reputable hosting company that offers CS:GO server packages. This way, you get the stability without directly dealing with Steam.

Been there, done that. Setting up a CS:GO server without Steam is kinda like trying to swim upstream. Not impossible, but why would you? The community and support you get from Steam are unmatched. Plus, with the constant updates and patches, you'd miss out on a lot without it.

Honestly, it's a pain and not really worth it. Just use Steam, it's much easier and you're guaranteed to get updates and support. Plus, setting up a non-Steam server can be a bit of a legal gray area.
