It’s a shame that Valve couldn’t get Steam to issue them a new AppID, so they had to delete CSGO in order to put CS2 on the store. It was the only way.
I’m not defending anyone, it’s just a fact. In my opinion it would be tolerable if they didn’t cut content and if the performance was on par with the previous game.
If you bought CSGO, you automatically got access to prime mode when the game went free to play.
It’s a separate matchmaking pool that puts you in servers filled with only other people who also bought the game, substantially reducing the likelihood of encountering cheaters and bots who just make endless free accounts.
This also carries over into CS2 as far as I’m aware.

What? Oh no why deleting the old game
I bought CSGO in 2015 and never had the chance to actually install it, do I get some extra content in cs2 or everything is lost?
Because it’s a multiplayer game and they don’t want to split the userbase.
And why is that anyones problem but Valve’s?
Who else is hurt by having it split?
It doesn’t hurt the players to have it split, so it feels like you are defending anti-consumer business practices just because its Valve.
