Kiwibros... troons have infected CS2 already. Just played a MM game with two troons, and two dumb cunts who will probably eventually be sexually assaulted by the very troons they queue with. I was gonna divulge more but didn't want to turn it into a personal blog. I just made sure to bully them and throw where applicable. We won, unfortunately, and the little troons ego was severely inflated. Ofcourse, it was a 4v1 on comms, but I made sure to insult at every opportunity when applicable.
I'm pretty sure the main troon said he would kill me or something, I was laughing at his VERY feminine voice (literally 0 attempt), as they projected all of their insecurities at me trying to play armchair psychologist. To that I say, lol. Lmao even. Because checking his steam profile he lives in the same state as I. If he actually owned guns he would have killed himself by now.
There is a beta branch for CS:GO that works, you do have to use a work-around for joining servers though.
Still it would've been nice if CS:2 was a separate title in Steam, I don't know why it had to overwrite the previous game in this awkward way. It's probably a remnant of S2 just being an update for CS:GO like it was in Dota 2.

I think it's mostly so that they could easily transfer people's items to the new game without having to deal with the hassle of having to optimize the items to work on both titles. People would be bitch about the items not being on one title or the other, considering the skins and all that nonsense is where all the money's at, after all.

I think everyone would understand why a case released for CS:2 wouldn't be openable in CS:GO, even if people complained I don't think Valve cares about that sort of complaint.
After thinking about it I think the main issue would've been the match-making. The infrastructure that existed for CS:GO's match-making has obviously been repurposed for CS:2. CS and CS:S didn't have this issue since the standard at the time was for customers to host servers themselves, CS:GO's main selling point was official match-making. They don't want to support two match-making systems that would need to be supported by teams of people at Valve, and need to be run on millions of dollars worth of hardware.
Gameplay for both games is +95% identical, there are almost no people who played CS:GO that aren't going to play CS:2. Even with the unsupported stuff Valve doesn't care about, like surf servers or whatever, they're going to move to CS:2 as soon as possible and make it work. The beta for CS:2 was limited because they couldn't host both CS:GO and CS:2 servers at the same time, even if the sum total of players for both games were the same as CS:GO's player count before CS:2.
I understand valve not wanting a fractured playerbase, but I feel like they could have gotten around that just by saying "we're dropping all official support for CSGO. If you want matchmaking, it's all here in CS2". That way community servers for it can still exist and I doubt it would "fracture the playerbase" because, lets be real, 99% of CSGO players don't play in community servers. They're all in "competitive" matchmaking aim dueling and dying with all their utility unused.
I know a group of guys who do inhouse games every Friday and Sunday nights in GO, and they run community maps because they like to explore the custom stuff out there and see how good the maps are while adapting and labbing strats in non-vanilla maps. They literally just can't do that now though because those maps won't work with CS2. "Why would anyone ever want to play CSGO? CS2 has fancy smokes and that's where all my GUN SKINS ARE!" I don't play CS with them often because of big time zone differences, so it doesn't effect me that much, but it's really kinda shitty to people who did play GO, who would want to continue playing GO even if a new game came out, and now they can't because it's dead.
What really peeves me though is people who bitch about EA being evil for killing games, like "oh no, the Spore card fighter spinoff game nobody played is dead. Curse you EA!" but then they'll applaud killing CSGO because they get cool new smoke effects and better servers. So many games out there are effectively dead and you can't play them anymore and nobody cares because it's "technically not dead" because look, this game is still called Counter Strike or DotA2, so they're clearly alive.
DotA2 is so different from how it was 7 years ago that it's effectively an entirely different game. Maybe not a bad game, but it's really not "DotA2" as it used to be anymore, but we can't go back and play DotA2 anymore. Every patch changed the meta to such a degree that it was the same fundamental game, but played so differently that it really was a unique experience per patch, and it's all just dead. You can't go back and change values like you can in a quake (for example) server so it plays on the balance of other patches, or uses/doesn't use certain fixes that you prefer. You can't go back and play older balance patches of fighting games anymore since they're all updated online now. Those versions of the games are just dead now and you can't ever play them again. I know there's a classic DotA2 thing people play on that runs a real old version from before the UI changed, but I still think that's only 1 patch of the game, so it's sad to see games get executed in front of us that you can't go back and play even if you have enough people who would be willing to play it.
Like someone else said though, it's probably a money thing. Retards paying tons of money to gamble for virtual gunskins and neon colored knives is their grift, and if GO was able to exist currently with community servers that can run sv_pure 0, well then, people might start wondering why they're playing CS2 when they can get all their "cool gunskins" in GO for free now. There would probably be some drama with whales complaining that it's not fair they willingly gambled their money away, and now people get what they have for free, and all they have to do is not play competitive matchmaking in valve servers to get it.
How would they know he's a tranny? He's just some guy on their friends-list, all they would see is his pfp and hear his voice and just assume he's a man.
Why can't these freaks just not show off their gross fetish on to everyone through every possible vector, he's causing problems for himself. Why do they make their lives more difficult?
Thorin was never based. He was a faggot that was only relevant because he was an analyst. Fucker was constantly changing on who he simps for in eSports, be it s1mple, G2, Astralis or *insert which esports team is leading*. He's no better than a journalist.
EDIT: This fucker is in NA CS? No wonder NA resorted to Valorant.
Also, in other news, a random CS2 update has caused bans for no reason, forcing Valve to not only unban many players but rollback the update for a long while.
It's been awhile, but I'm pretty sure Semmler has always been vocal, even sometimes obnoxiously vocal, about his politics. I think I recall seeing Semmler's rants about the vaccine being bullshit, which upset a lot of people. He's never been my favorite caster, but I appreciate him being raw with his opinions.

It's so weird. He always looked like the type who would be FOR globohomo faggotry and be right there with Pansy & Frankie championing neo-progressive politics. Turns out the more I read about his time following his 1st departure from CS he got red-pilled pretty hard and voiced support for Drumphler, rejected the clot-shot, and hates non-clinically diagnosed trannies.
Still can't beat Sadokist's nigger moment though, kek.

Eh, I think he had his moments.
He's a self-admitted asperger's autist, and IIRC he was jeering pretty hard at all the neolibs upset about Brexit, and called Brazil what it was; a shithole filled with subhumans.
His problem is that he's incredibly high on his own farts and deems himself the CS authority due to being around since the WON days. He changes his eSports obsessions because he likes to claim he saw the potential in X star before they became big.
It's really funny when they turn on him though. Remember his fights with the SK/MIBR roster in 2017 when he exposed Fallen of being a PR fraud and their shittiest player, TACO, threatened to stab him at the next LAN?

We're a good chunk into 2024 and CS2 still has less content for a casual player to play with than CS:GO did even 10 or so years ago. Why was the engine switch even necessary, again?
