CS:GO was a paid game originally as well.
For someone who isn't huge into CSGO, it actually did come as a surprise for it to disappear from my library today. Sorry not everyone spends their time making sure they know what's going on with every single game in their library. I'm literally finding this out for the first time today.
In all the reports of CS2 being released, this is the first I've heard that the new game would fully replace the old. Once again, I knew about that with Overwatch and I don't even play Overwatch because people were complaining about this before Overwatch 2 was even released. I was well aware it was getting replaced before release, simply because it was discussed and reported on a lot. There were numerous front page posts on reddit about it, months before release.
The same can't be said for CS2. It wasn't talked about a lot by anyone. I only was able to find one specific news article about how it was replacing the old game, after searching today.
So you live under a rock, don't even take a short look at the news section of the Steam main view and because of this VALVE DID A BLIZZARD! OK...
Literally almost every gaming outlet and even many IT news pages reported about the announcement of CS2. It's totally on you. Don't blame others.
Reporting the announcement of the game and talking about how it will replace the base game are two different things. Lots of articles about the announcement, very few about how it would replace the base game.
I'm an adult with responsibilities and over 300 games in my Steam library. I've got way better shit to do than make sure every time there's a new release that I'm going to lose games I paid for years ago. Jesus Christ man. Reported, you don't gotta be a dick.
EDIT: Lmao, went and downvoted all my posts after I reported him for being a fucking jackass. Stay classy.
Reported for what? You're the one throwing an insult against me by calling me a dick, not the other way around.
PS: You can just block me, you know ...
You realize you can be rude and uncivil without directly name-calling, right? The rule is "Be civil" not "no name calling."
Mischaracterizing what I'm saying and claiming I'm blaming others, etc. Like dude, check yourself. Learn how to speak to others without being an aggressive asshole and maybe you won't deal with people reporting you.
I was just pointing out that Valve did the same thing as Blizzard, and you jumped down my throat for it because I guess you must be some Valve fanboy. Gimme a break, man.
EDIT: I'm not so much of a pussy that I need to block everyone who has been rude to me.
You calling me a dick and fanboy definitely is more uncivilized that the colloquial term of living under a rock, especially when you yourself agreed that you don't have motivation to check up on CS news. Fact is they announced it, it's no surprise, you not getting the memo isn't anybody's fault but your own, and yet you're too sensitive when someone just says that and feel the need to report it. Yeah....
