Bring CS:GO Back

The Issue

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) took the world by storm in 2012.

Rising to the top of the charts in 2023 with a massive 1.4 million concurrent players.  (Thats ALOT of consistent players.)

CS:GO has been on top of ESports for as long as we can remember.  Popular streamers have been streaming it for years, gaining a following and growing the CS:GO fanbase.

In March 2023 the game broke the record that was set during COVID for most concurrent players (1.4 million).  On January 1, 2024 Valve claims full support for the title would be non existent.  Valve then changed all of CS:GO files over to CS2 in hopes of disbanding the game.  Now when people are interested in CS:GO we are forced to download CS2 instead.  Steam store now advertises CS:GO positive reviews for CS2...  This is deceptive and causes new players to believe a false narrative.

Valve forced CS2's update, removing over 50% of the game, knowing CS:GO players and fans would continue to play CS:GO, Valve removed the inventory / community server function from ONLY the most recent 1.38.8.1 version.  This is shady business and we should not stand for it.

As someone who paid $20 for CS:GO years ago.  A forced update to a free game, CS2 seems downright unfair and not justified.  WE NEED YOUR HELP.
