Scaling up servers well beyond the typical 32 slot is very hard with the older 32 bit binaries, 64 bit in theory enables a much broader support for higher performing hardware and scaling up servers to larger configurations

Further information
Current SteamCMD already ships with both x86 and x64 SRCDS binaries which are downloaded by LinusGSM, however, only srcds_run is being executed in the server launch command while the user doesn't have the ability to use srcds_run_64 as an option if they're running beefier hardware platforms or willing to host larger servers - eg. 100x player servers.
This seems to be a very low hanging fruit as it would just require updating the current server start script to run srcds_run_64 instead of srcds_run since all the software is already capable of running x64 code and ships with both binaries as default anyways.
