For the example: even tho it’s true that CSGO used to be a paid game, it had been free for 5 years and before that it was 15$, not 40 or however much was ow.
I think you’re missing the point. It doesn’t matter what the price point was. People paid for these games. The game going “free” isn’t a valid justification for being like “its okay this product you paid for is being taken from you.”
Would you feel the same about any other product in your life? Why is it justified when that something you paid for being taken from you is “a game.”
Cs2 comes with a whole new engine which changes a bunch of things
Yeah, a lot less content than CS:GO and no new content. Seems like they could have let it bake longer before release.
It’s not removed. You can still access latest CS:GO version via beta tab in game properties. Is it inconvenient? Yes. Is it shit that achievements for CSGO were removed? Yes. But you can still play it, and play on community servers.
Hey so results online say that you can only play against bots in that game? Can you refute that only cause im going to base my full opinion on your answer
From what I’ve saw, Valve servers are offline so no official MM. You can play with bots, and play on community servers, but you have to connect via “connect” command in console, because community server browser is broken.
Don’t know how much this has to be explained to people but it wasn’t removed. You can still play it by enabling beta clients in CS2 settings. You just can’t use matchmaking but community servers still work.
So games should never go free or even discounted because someone else paid full price ten years ago? That’s just stupid. Let alone, CS2 is essentially a new game that’s being released for free. Your only valid complaint is the content, maybe. Maybe they plan on releasing content and had focused more on quality during development.

That’s an intentional misreading of what I’m saying. The issue isn’t that it went Free to Play. The issue is that before that, a number of people paid for the product and then later that product that they paid for was removed from their library entirely.
Being replaced with a game that’s Free to Play from the get-go isn’t the same thing. It’s simply not the product that was paid for.
Would you feel similarly about a physical product that a company took away from you because they were changing it? Not because the product caused any danger, but because they were giving you a newer one, with fewer features, but looked nicer? You wouldn’t feel like losing access to things you paid for in the original was a problem? Why is it justified to take away something that was paid for when it’s a game?
I stopped playing CSGO when they added the r8, which I felt changed the game in a way I didn’t like. Why weren’t you mad then, the game was certainly not what I paid for? It’s almost like you paid with the expectation that the game would continue getting updates, they have the right to change the price in the meantime.
Also you can absolutely still play CSGO if you want.

Yeah if you want to use an obscure feature like steam console to get the latest verison or using beta to get an older verison, instead of you know releasing a fucking separate steamid for a game that is reporting itself as a “Sequel” and don’t get me started with them piggy backing off of CSGO’s reviews. Imagine if some game like Supreme Commander did that bullshit. Where you had the beloved first game and welp with the sequel out we should all replace it so it can use the same reviews even though the 2nd game was universally panned. This is so assbackwards and noone should stand up for this behavior. Valve is mostly awesome but they botched this release and did it in one of the worst ways possible. People fucking play CS 1.6 and Source still would it be right if they were just disappeared as well but able to be pulled up via download some obscure Steam depot. Hell I have an even better one Half life 1, very loved game but Half Life 1 Source an apparently upgrade that was fucking garbage at launch and still garbage to this day. Would it have been right for Valve to say if you bought the default way to play Half life 1 now is via source only. Noone with a working brain would want that.

How is the game becoming f2p equivalent to it being taken away from you?
Do you feel the same every 2 years when the new wow expansion releases and the previous one becomes free?
Do you feel the same whenever a product you bought for full price goes on sale?
Oh, it’s not. The game being removed from my library is equivalent to it being taken away from me.

It’s literally not the same product.
Going Free to Play is fine. Going Free to Play and then outright removing it from the library of someone who paid for it is not, in my opinion.
