Seattle police arrested Counter-Strike co-creator Jess Cliffe, 36, early this
morning for sexual exploitation of a child. Police have not yet commented
further on the case.
The arrest record shows that Cliffe, who has been an employee of Valve since
2003, was booked at 1:17am Pacific Time this morning. He was denied bail,
according to the record. Seattle’s local KIRO 7 news reports that he has not
been charged with a crime.
Cliffe created Counter-Strike alongside designer Minh Le in 1999 as a mod to
the critically acclaimed shooter Half-Life. Valve later obtained the rights
to Counter-Strike, and it has been one of the most popular multiplayer games
in the world for nearly two decades.
UPDATE (9:47pm): Valve says it has suspended Cliffe, telling Kotaku: “We are
still learning details of what actually happened. Reports suggest he has been
arrested for a felony offense. As such we have suspended his employment until
we know more.”
