Has CS2 Been Abandoned?

Has Valve abandoned CS2 in favour of Deadlock? That has been a question on the minds of many in the CS community.

As performance issues drag on and a lack of satisfying updates leave players wanting more, fans have started to compare the current state of the game to that of Valve's new darling.

After watching multiple different Deadlock streams on sites like Kick, Twitch, Youtube etc. Its safe to assume that deadlock is becoming Valves new baby 🙂 CS2 will probably follow the same path as TF2 and slowly but surely start to fade out into oblivion 🤔

You want Valve to care? stop opening cases

[MartinMlBanic]

The fact is that the CS is managed by an extremely small team compared with how much the game makes it is not like they do not have enough money they just do not give a shiii

I think one of the issues is that CS2 fans are fully aware of what happened to TF2.

If the 1 year comes and goes without so much as a new map, let alone an operation the games cooked.

Where is Train and Cache? WTF is going on? 😢

Don't worry CS2 players.

Deadlock will eventually be abandoned too for whatever new shiny toy Valve has then.

[Apotheosis..]

I wish people stopped opening cases...

Being a half-baked reskin, they should at least give us access to csgo mm with good anticheat while everything is ported over

1. Shooting feels awful
2. Cheaters
3. Network issue, sudden disconnect from a match
4. Terrible rank system, favors win over performance
5. FPS drop

We're literally getting single-change patch notes in CS2 now. We don't even get release notes, we get a single release note

[sergiuauditore]

Wrong. Just stop playing the game like I did. Until it's not finished, I'm not coming back to it. They will eventually work on it when they will see that the cow is running out of milk.

This is what happen when people glorifying Valve for very long years and act blind to the facts that Valve never cared about their games, CSGO was full of cheaters and bots, TF2 is full of bots and has 0 support.
Valve cares about one thing, Gambling with loot boxes, they made billions out of gambling every year.
We have to be fair and trash them like we do with EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard etc.

[SmokeyDokey-CS]

If they don't give us a big update on the 27th of September (one year after public release) then the games dead.

[letmefeelthevibes]

Between the cheaters and the lack of content, CS 2 sure does look like it's abandoned by Valve.

[moistseacat]

Deadlock is a certified IceFrog Classic and it's not even out yet

[huh]

stop buying cases and stop playing the game, that is how you win them back, when the money stops rolling they start wondering why.

[LvBard]

TF2 got saved by people not using the community market and review bombing the game. CS community takes hints

[merchant_of_kek]

When will valve customers realize Valve NEVER changed a game if it’s succeeding.
Valve knows there is virtually no point following when communities complain. They make millions either way and their bottom like is almost never effected. Eve with the tf2 boys their money train was barely a target until the third time which it was barely a dip.
Target their money, valve listens no problem.

5:20 if they knew what the community wanted then we wouldnt be here in the first place
