Cs2 dying? Any cs frogs know anything about this?
Idk, they're going back to before CS2 was announced number, and even starting to go lower than that. That shouldn't be what you expect for a huge decade-old game that's got a major update. I think the game just feels like shit rn. Even CS frogs don't argue with that it seems from the Reddit comments.
Well CS frogs aint gonna agree if it comes from a Valorant player but generally yeah.
Im not aware of what the average playercount was before cs2 but if thats the case then yeah thats a big problem.
1.1mil to 730k seems fine tho idk, I know a lot of people personally who never played cs and just installed the new one for a day.
And yeah it feels like shit. Ive played it, the performance was underwhelming, graphics were cool at first but got old quickly, everyone knows how the movement feels (not good) and the rest is just worse CS:GO.
The only thing I would be concerned about with the 1.1mil to 730k is that you're going below you're previous average of around 800K. Now, there could be some sort of lurking variable that's causing this, but the obvious conclusion would be that CS2 is a downgrade for some CSGO fans.
However, Playerbases fluctuate all the time. People tend to lose interest, and whenever the next update (at valve pace maybe 2026) happens, the player base will go back.
I would play surf, KZ or 1v1 arenas in CSGO almost daily. Then CS2 came out and it felt like Valorant with CS characteristics.
If I wanted to play Valorant, I would play Valorant.
I can’t even enjoy surf or kz anymore, because the movement in CS2 is that bad. It’s truly a travesty that they destroyed the best game in CSGO.
There needs to be studies into how Valve fumbled the bag so hard on CS2. I initially though it was just an overinflated player base and they went back to normal, but they're starting to go below CS2 being announced numbers.
Funnily enough, I'm starting to enjoy CS esports more, but holy shit is playing that game a pain. I even like a lot of the changes they made to CS2, 13 rounds, smokes etc. It's just playing the actual game feels like torture sometimes, constant cheaters, bad netcode, mollies look really bad (more of a personal opinion).
