Am I the only one who sees a problem with the community here? If you leave out the insanely predatory cash-grab a.k.a "The Armory Update", this was the equivalent of a minor patch. And here, influencers & even eSports Orgs on X and YouTube are going crazy about it, like it's some godsend! None of them are holding Valve responsible for this shit.
Now the devs will never hear us! They're going to just assume they've got the green flag to do more such cash-grabs in the future and there is no need to fix the horrid state of the game right now.
Influencers had the perfect chance to fire back and say: "No, cosmetics aren't enough, we want gameplay & anti-cheat fixes. We want our maps back. Also, this is a f***ing cash-grab on par with EA & Activision!" Not one influencer pointed this out. They all went on to open cases and pay for the Armory Passes, like it's totally not a predatory pull. (You have to pay to detach charms, like WTF?)
Fl0m is apparently in cahoots with the CS2 Devs on this update. Apparently, he received an "alottment" of some ultra-exclusive charms?
Voo, a little more than a week ago, released a video attempting to downplay CS2's problems and victim blaming the community for criticizing the developers. This update doesn't change much.

I agree with all you said
The biggest change and the gameplay improvement update happened ( 2019 hitbox update) cause of a YOUTUBER who aren’t into bias . He just showed the issus swithout speaking a single word and 0 super coating / gaslighting and Valve had to bend to the knee and finally fixed the hitbox out of embarrassment

This. We need him make another masterpiece for CS2
they deleted things people liked about operation:
missions modes and COIN
and what is left is – reedem 5 at once money grab pa$$
with stupid dgl limited – whats the point? just make it red in collection
Honestly was expecting an outrage from content creators with this shit but was surprised with them advertising it
Disgraceful Devs, Disgraceful gambling addict CS influencers.
just sell the game to a studio that cares!
read the patch notes for gameplay improvements, all you see is a cash grab while personally I see a money making opportunity for me
Influencers don’t give a shit, they just care about conetent they can cash in on.
This game became a joke, broken mess with shitty cash grab updates…
Who would have thought Valve would fall this low.
I am just playing less and less bro. Sold my skins to buy few games like red dead 2 and wukong. I dont know whats fun with simulating peeker’s advantage while holding angles to actually get kills. They have ruined it and have 0 cares to fix it. Aggressive gameplay is meta they call it. Its only meta because the way lag is compensated now is terrible bozo. Peekers advantage was there before but it wasnt so fucking intolerable that you are not forced to swing wide to get kills. Makes the gameplay aggressive but very fucking 1 dimensional. Not to mention that the whole movement aspect is taken away which people mastered so the other team misses their shots. Simplifying your game for mass appeal ruins its quality. Its literally text book cash cow model
Imma be real, this really isn’t a big deal
money talks
5gb of skins and not a single new map, really disappointed
You are forgetting that we have devs on this subreddit. I even saw one comment helping a playing fix his connection issue. They clearly know how we feel
Boycott
question: what happens to all the new cases, collections, stickers after the “operation” ends (in 101 days??) ?
will they be gone forever, or continue to be availabe via shop or weekly drops or….
Real, biggest game on steam and all we get is a cash grab.
I get valve is a small company and they working on a lot of stuff but it seems nobody is working on cs2 rn??
I really feel betrayed by them. They take the money of our hopeful cs community to fund their new projects like Deadlock. Can’t even describe how my excitment went to 0 after just 1 year of cs2…
You guys are pathetic hahah this subreddit became such a shithole it’s incredible
The CS influencers have 100s of thousands in CS skins. It literally costs them money if the game loses players, they will gass up everything.
I dont understand, if you dont care for skins etc., just dont buy them?! You have no disadvantage at all by not participating in that market, the game is exactly the same
you vote with your wallet, ez
