I haven't been playing a lot of CS for a while, but this does not sit well with me:
People are enjoying CSGO, and the owners are going to yank it because they don't want to compete with its popularity.
Csgo got a lot of hype recently because of cs2. Also cs2 and csgo are the same game. It's just an engine upgrade. There is no new content, it's the same maps the same game modes, same movement, same items everything is the same. Just better graphics.
We're talking about Counter Strike here, it's been the same game for 20+ years at this point. Any two subsequent CS games are going to be very, very similar. Most of them didn't even feature an engine upgrade like we're getting now. Plus if you pay attention to the CS2 datamines, it looks like Valve have planning to add way more than just what they've announced so far. There most definitely will be new content.
Ok true... The question still is is cs2 actually a new game or just an update with a name suggesting it is a new name. And CSGO evolved so much why is the final version the one you think should be kept as a standalone game?
