@neurovagrant @404mediaco so why did Valve hijack the csgo game ID and not make a new one? Article light on specifics
@derrickb @falken @neurovagrant @404mediaco It also makes the whole items / skins thing a mess. The skins are tied to the game ID afaik, so do you migrate them all? Leaving CSGO empty? Duplicate them? Start fresh and wipe value from accounts?
Guessing when faced with that mess they decided to follow the money and keep the skins on the latest platform (and only the latest platform).
It's always skins 😅
@derrickb @neurovagrant @404mediaco but "cs3" would have made a ton of cash anyway...
@falken @neurovagrant @404mediaco
I imagine because if they didn't they would have a split userbase and most people would continue launching CS:GO out of habit, much like how it took a long time for most people to eventually abandon CS:S for CS:GO.
