Purchasing CS:GO gives you for free Counter-Strike 1.6?

[japiadrian]

Market Team of Valve has ever got this formula?
Purchasing CS:GO gives you free 2 play CS 1.6 client?
And maybe server files for CS 1.6 cost 5€/server license?

Just an idea, treat it as such!

[Kyon]

It wouldn't really make sense to do that, would it?
People still buy CSGO.
People still buy 1.6.
Besides, then there'd be no real reason to buy 1.6 if you can just get it with CSGO, right?
That would end up decreasing profits and sales.

[cTm]

Good idea!

I should play some cs 1.6 again someday for the heck of it now that I remembered that I own it.

Do they need it?
God no.
Is it helpful?
God yes.
Even though it's an old game, it's still widely played and widely purchased. Maybe when sales for it die down they'll consider bundling it, but as it is now, I'm doubting it.

Seems greedy!

[Kyon]

It's a business. They want to make money.
Besides, that money they're getting is allowing them to pay for their servers and fund future projects.
It also helps them with funding their sales.
VALVe already does a lot.
Did you consider that, perhaps, you're the one being at least a little bit greedy?

[japiadrian]

CS:GO is repeating history of CS:S :)
The best business solution on market about selling a good, is two at price of one.
So, sell two games at price of one game and users will start to move on CS:GO

Valve is trying now moving slowly all CS 1.6 steam players on CS:GO and my idea seems to be a good idea.

[Kyon]

1.6 players already own 1.6. Purchasing CSGO and getting ANOTHER copy of 1.6 isn't exactly the kind of thing that would move them over to GO.
The reason people don't want to move on to GO is because they don't like they're not liking the competitive scene, they're not liking the weapon balancing, they're not liking the changes, etc.,
I highly doubt adding 1.6 to it would work.
I'd say "Perhaps a 1.6 and CSGO bundle" would work, but there is already a Counter-Strike Collection that does exactly that.

Even though it was a minor thing removed even though people liked using the feature which is the lack of the ability to use sprays. I loved spraying silly sprays in cs :[

[Kyon]

Personally, I loved sprays, too.
I wouldn't be surprised if some people out there didn't buy CSGO -because- of the lack of sprays.

You got it, anyway some kind of TF2 Free 2 Play formula?
Just in CS 1.6 there is no workshop to do :D

[Kyon]

TF2 F2P formula wouldn't really work.
The reason TF2 F2P formula works is because of the huge trading community, crafting, etc., etc.,
That'd never work in Counter-Strike without making a ton of changes.
Changes that would probably anger the fanbase.

Yeah, that's right. Steam is not going to send ya a game as a gift if this game is still making some money. Maybe in a future, when CS 1.6 will be no longer "famous", Steam will make this class of gift. Or maybe, if they found another ""gold mine", they will gradualy stop selling CS 1.6 and make it free, but only if the new game make more money than CS 1.6.
