    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

          They won’t shut down the game at the end of the year. They just said they won’t be maintaining it / ensuring compatibility

        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.
