  • How do you figure they would go about that?

    Banning based of similar IP’s / subscriptions is an easy way to get someone false banned due to their 10 year old and force them to switch to Apple products and an AppleID for life.

    They will use every mean available to them to ID and profile you; that’s absolutely core to their multi-billion dollar business model.

    They haven’t successfully banned the main accounts associated with those using Google drive for piracy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯




  • There definitely was a shift. People and subreddits that existed before the mass influx of phone / app users tended to hold onto the hate of emojis but there was definitely no stopping all the newer younger users that didn’t know and rightfully wouldn’t care about what smileys are acceptable on a forum :)


  • I don’t see it as very anti-consumer that every skin and statrak item has been brought along to the new game. I agree it would be nice to be able to play the old one, but I’d rather the option to torrent old clients and host my own dedicated server on the old one than be forced to upgrade to the new one. They don’t host it anymore, pirate away Who cares?

    This release has sucked ass, CS:sources release sucked ass, Condition Zero as a whole sucked ass, and ask anyone old enough, the move to 1.6 from 1.5 sucked ass.

    I still expect it to end up a good game, just like 1.6 and source eventually was.

    they were never going to be able to release a totally new game without a lot of backlash from the addict skin trading communities. They wouldn’t want to risk their free income from the whales by splitting the player base and eventually shunning the skin investors stuck on the old game.
