You can play cs:go (apparently) by rolling back CS2 to previous betas... such a stupid 'solution'.

What is stupid about that solution? You don't see people whining about going to every other update over the years. Valve has made huge bounds forward, and people who want to play legacy versions of games usually have to install manually.
they're different products. puting cs:go as a 'beta' of CS2 is asinine, taking it away w/o player agency is snide, and me having to explain this to you is pitiful.
It's the same fucking product. It's a new engine. We've been waiting for source 2 in CS for years. Dota 2 got treatment early, and despite the toxic culture it has, it still didn't generate idiots like you. When they added the revolver did you also spend weeks whining that they removed the old CSGO and that you could never go back?
Everyone puts old builds in "betas" if they are available, so clearly not stupid- which you didn't defend, you just restated as if it was a fact. They never "took it away", they updated the game, and they left the old content available.
The fact that you think you are explaining anything while constantly spouting the lie that "they took it away" is moronic and obnoxious.
it's absolutely not the same product. one is called CS:GO the other is literally called CS2. They're two different games with a shared asset pool. Gameplay between the two is not the same. Game modes aren't the same. Fuck, they didn't even port over the bots code.
I've been playing cs since 1.6, been on numerous raids of Al Queda, I was there when Harambe OD'd you little shitstain. Get fucked lol
Great, so you are not just an absolute moron, you're a hipster, too. Am I supposed to care?
So you are looking to cry at the top of your lungs about anything you can see, but even though Valve allowed you to play an old version of the game, you start whining that their support "isn't convenient enough"? Dota 2 went from Source 1 to Source 2, had gameplay changes, everything sans a name change, but that goes under your notice. Valve changes "CSGO" to "CS2" with a big update, and suddenly your brain overloads and you throw tantrums.
The gameplay is closer to the last version of CSGO was than that same version of CSGO to a few years earlier.
The game modes are closer to the last version of CSGO than CSGO had at launch.
Valve is still working on it, we knew not everything would be here. But, once again, you clearly don't care. You called it stupid, when I pointed out it was convenient, you just repeated that it was asinine. When I pointed out that this has more backwards compatibility than any of the other DOZENS of CSGO updates, you ignore it, because it goes against your stupid made up argument that you repeat ad nauseum, wailing like a child.
tl;dr you aren't even a troll, just a waste of space and time claiming to be a human being. Get blocked idiot, lol
