    CS:GO is over a decade old and certainly isn’t “killed”, does the author just not want new games to be released ever? I feel like everything posted nowadays is ragebait.

      I mean CSGO turned into CS2 in my steam library.

      So CSGO effectively doesn’t exist anymore. I say ‘killed’ is accurate

        You can still open csgo by selecting it from the beta tab on CS2. Can still join community servers on there through to the end of the year iirc

        Doubt valve will have ironed out this forced open beta by then though

        It was a free update/upgrade for CS:GO. That’s like saying v2.0 killed v1.9.

        Also, major upgrades for free ten years after release is frankly unheard of. This isn’t a “trend”

      It is impossible to give this an appropriate answer in any forum that demands “civility” over honesty.

      The censored version is: no. And you fucking know better.

      They just killed it and replaced it with cs2, so bad example. Cs:go is gone and can’t be played anymore since you can’t launch it.

      There really should have been a massive outcry about deleting a game people paid for.

          What is stupid about that solution? You don’t see people whining about going to every other update over the years. Valve has made huge bounds forward, and people who want to play legacy versions of games usually have to install manually.

            they’re different products. puting cs:go as a ‘beta’ of CS2 is asinine, taking it away w/o player agency is snide, and me having to explain this to you is pitiful.

              It’s the same fucking product. It’s a new engine. We’ve been waiting for source 2 in CS for years. Dota 2 got treatment early, and despite the toxic culture it has, it still didn’t generate idiots like you. When they added the revolver did you also spend weeks whining that they removed the old CSGO and that you could never go back?

              Everyone puts old builds in “betas” if they are available, so clearly not stupid- which you didn’t defend, you just restated as if it was a fact. They never “took it away”, they updated the game, and they left the old content available.

              The fact that you think you are explaining anything while constantly spouting the lie that “they took it away” is moronic and obnoxious.

                it’s absolutely not the same product. one is called CS:GO the other is literally called CS2. They’re two different games with a shared asset pool. Gameplay between the two is not the same. Game modes aren’t the same. Fuck, they didn’t even port over the bots code.

                I’ve been playing cs since 1.6, been on numerous raids of Al Queda, I was there when Harambe OD’d you little shitstain. Get fucked lol

                  Great, so you are not just an absolute moron, you’re a hipster, too. Am I supposed to care?

                  So you are looking to cry at the top of your lungs about anything you can see, but even though Valve allowed you to play an old version of the game, you start whining that their support “isn’t convenient enough”? Dota 2 went from Source 1 to Source 2, had gameplay changes, everything sans a name change, but that goes under your notice. Valve changes “CSGO” to “CS2” with a big update, and suddenly your brain overloads and you throw tantrums.

                  The gameplay is closer to the last version of CSGO was than that same version of CSGO to a few years earlier.

                  The game modes are closer to the last version of CSGO than CSGO had at launch.

                  Valve is still working on it, we knew not everything would be here. But, once again, you clearly don’t care. You called it stupid, when I pointed out it was convenient, you just repeated that it was asinine. When I pointed out that this has more backwards compatibility than any of the other DOZENS of CSGO updates, you ignore it, because it goes against your stupid made up argument that you repeat ad nauseum, wailing like a child.

                  tl;dr you aren’t even a troll, just a waste of space and time claiming to be a human being. Get blocked idiot, lol
