Seems like valorant stole the playerbase

[Razer]

Lol is what i think when i saw the concurrent playerbase before and after valorant got released. Game was good for how long it lasted, i pay my tributes even though i have 10 hours on it. Also dont come here thinking CSGO isnt losing players, you can literally go to steamcharts and see that CSGO has lost 200k players since May and its been going down ever since. Most people who played CSGO are switching to Valorant. this game isnt going to be alive forever.

[심장을 파고들어 넌]

And also naming the game without any prefixes or additional words, just Counter-Strike and nothing else. A brand new shooter, on a nextgen engine, with a nextgen graphics. Hehe, i want too much i guess.

Daily players is not the same as concurrent players, there are no stats for valorant concurent players. I doubt valorant has more concurent players than cs. Cs playerbase had its ups and downs and thats normal. This is the period of stagnation, where nothing significant is happening so naturaly there is less interest. When next major comes, or new OP, or some big update we will see a spike again. Only thing that can kill cs is another cs.

What do you mean? the average active players have been prety stable

average active players dont matter, its lost 200k players since may lmao what dont you understand https://steamcharts.com/app/730

Literally you're playing same role for 13 rounds. No wonder nobodies play tencent trash anymore.

To get a bad TF and blame the game for putting you against cheaters

Any official source about that? I have never witnissed my TF to go down when creating a new alt(playing with the same people,they would definetly tell me that my new alt has a bad TF,or my main?)

The patent for Trust Factor were released recently and a TLDR thread were made. try search for it

I remember people were saying the exact same when PUBG was in its primes, but nothing really changed.

Btw i'm still expecting the brand new CS series. They (Valve) need a good interface designer, model and animation makers. CS:GO player animations is far from even the average quality.

Which more animations do you want?

And yeah nice cool looking graphics but I will still play on low. This is not really a game to look good its more about the performance

Player movement, hit reaction animation. My first wow was after looking at bfv player model animation.

Valorant is for the weak and ♥♥♥♥.

See, Valorant is owned by Riot which is owned by Tencent... Company way bigger than Valve itself I would bet a 100/100 that they do know what they are doing and what they are targeting.

By watching the game's tendency you will see the player drop. I am not saying something like CS will stop existing but it surely has a competition there and, if Valve doesn't do something about it, CS will drop its playerbase.

CS won't stop existing, but without action, it will see a bottom line playerbase at some point.

Note: comment fully based on statistics and financial perspective of both companies (Tencent v Valve)

Tencent net worth (2020): $645.37B.
Riot Games (2020): $26B (best estimation since it is not fully public).
Valve net worth (2020): $4B (best estimation since it is not fully public).

Unlike games like PUBG and Fortnite, Valorant has a big asset advantage.

Tencent is at least 161 times Valve in financial terms and Riot is 6.5 times.

Valve can still compete with them since CS:GO is a classic; but, they must fully work on it or they will stop growing.

Tencent is rich, almost as rich as the US military

Estimated U.S. military spending 2020 - 2021: $934B

Kinda close in billion terms

And by the way they are doing their investments recently, I would say they will reach 1T in less than 10 years.

Sorry i dont have time to search for some threads, which can be full of assumptions and nothing more.
I have a better preposition/idea - make a Free account (alt if you have none).
Come back to your main, lobby with people you know have the same TF and wait for the outcome as i did on my main when creating my alts - you will see the same as me - TF not changed at all...

In my world things which can be personally tested are always facts ==/== than some assumptions

If the **thread TF patent** says the opposite than is my XP - it is a lie,nothing more.

It's not assumptions.

Valve has to publish how exactly it wokrs to get a patent
