implying they haven ' t been e ditingmoderatingcensoring the shit out if this site for politic bias and monies before thedonald was birthed <| sep |> Im stuck trying to find an answer for you <| sep |> Not gonna do it <| sep |> I ' m just pointing out that the majority hated on CSGO in 2012 . After the initial release it averaged at about 35 k players for the whole first year ! It had less players than CSS or CS 1 . 6 at that time . Then one year later they started adding weapon skins and oh look The player count starts to rise . I ' m not saying skins are the only reason why CSGO is successful gameplay updates and tournament support surely helped too but I don ' t think it ' s just mere coincidence that those two things happened at the same time . And saying CSGO in 2016 is pretty much the same as in 2012 is either proving my point biggest change were the skins or that argument is just pure bullshit updates actually made the game better . So what is true ?
