We are talking about Counter Strike 2, a complete rewrite of the game's code for a new game engine. EVERYTHING has fundamentally changed over the last year.

1: play CS:S or 1.6, they'll run better than CSGO on hardware that ancient anyways.
2: You can play CSGO, in the beta options, and find a Gun Game server online (browser is broken from this update, so you'll have to search online to get address). "Arms Race" was valve's new name for gungame for some reason.
2.5: combine 1 and 2. It'll be easier finding servers in CS:S right now, anyways.
2.75?: The compatibility of making CSGO available for a wide range of devices kept it from progressing, the Source 2 change is for people who have a desktop from maybe ten years ago. My low end surface from nine years ago gets similar frames as your Thinkpad, and I don't try to play games with it much anymore... but if you want to play new games, especially on the go, you gotta be expected to upgrade at some point.
It IS playable on Linux. It ISN'T playable on computers over ~10 years old.
Yeah, that happens with certain groups of people. Definitely not a CS2 issue, best you can do is go and play a different map.
Players are hurt from having it split. Way more so than Valve. In fact, I fail to see why Valve would be gaining anything, they aren't selling the missing parts.
When a game updates, do you keep matchmaking servers up for every old edition of the game? Place people in a different queue for every hotfix version they are on? When the game is updated often over a lifespan of 12 years? Then no one would be in any matchmaking, let alone enough people of your skill level.
If they marketed this as "CSGO: Source 2 engine update" people wouldn't be whining, so I don't understand why people go out of their way to make a big deal about this. We knew not all the content would be available at release when they completely rewrote and modernized the game's code.
And no anti-consumer business practices involved. You CAN play csgo still, if you want to. Sure, it's inconvenient to download an old version of the game to run, but it is also inconvenient to download an old version of any game to run in every case. Anyone saying CSGO is unplayable and "that's unfair because I paid for it" is maliciously spreading misinformation.
there were no significant new features except the hat-ification and skins along the lines of Team Fortress 2
Skins and cases were not in release CSGO. The release and beta features of CSGO were supposed to be controller support and cross-platform play with consoles.
Not a shame dividing it another time, but you also can. It's still a beta option.
Strange that they won't call out the people who didn't pay. Stupid "professionalism" >:(
Wtf are you talking about? The use of AI image generation in this meme has absolutely nothing to do with the "truth" you are blubbering on about.
Part of this is based on a myth that I heard a lot growing up. So I will clarify:
A frog in warming water will try to escape by any means necessary. It is aware that it is going to die. The experiment where "A frog placed in boiling water will jump out, a frog placed in lukewarm water that is raised to a boil will sit and die" is all misinformation. The experiment the idea is based on was to find the temperature that frogs die at, and all the frogs were pithed- effectively had their brains turned to goo.
Also, according to a Harvard Biology professor, Douglas Melton, the other part of the saying is also false. If you place a frog in boiling water, it won't jump out, it'll die.
Not incredibly certain, but it could also be the opposite.
For instance, it could be pointing out the stupidity of those who call something outside of the binary a mental disorder. I'm not much of a linguist myself, but surely there'd be no point in using only 'I's.
Then again, if you looked at their post history to find those other two, maybe they put zero thought into this as well. Or maybe those two examples weren't from the same user. This looks oddly cut and unexplained, so it's not like it makes a difference in the end as to the fact that it is a low quality post.
If you want to downgrade your game to an old version, you can. In the betas menu.
