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…
Valve just did with CS:GO and CS2 almost exactly what Blizzard did with Overwatch and Overwatch 2.
Except that Overwatch 1 was a paid game replaced with a version with broken promises.
I know CS:GO has been Free to Play for a long time, but seriously, this is kind of a big fuck you to any archivists who wanted to keep a copy around for history’s sake.
You had half a year to archive CSGO. Don’t act as it came as a surprise or something. Steam emulators like gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator exist to play archived copies.
I hate to be the advocate of EA here but I’m convinced it’s because FIFA is not allowing them to use the trademark any longer and the mentioned loopholes are either permitted by FIFA or will be closed soon.
