>Write review for CSGO
>Valve steals it for CS2
lol, lmao even
I wish they spent as much effort working on their games as they did on all the hebrew trickery and marketplace gambling surrounding them

>>713008175
But you didn’t lose your ability to play, you lost access to their online servers.
>no you don’t understand, every account that I have ever made needs to be managed in perpetuity on the original website and asking me to merge it for free so that the new owners don’t have dozens of different legacy account systems all with their own security flaws is literally stealing my money!

>>713008541
yeah that review migration shit is slimy as fuck

>>713008673
>But you didn’t lose your ability to play

yes i did retard, google it, i can use my mojang but i would have to use an unofficial bullshit launcher

>>713006959 (OP)
how was this legal?

>>713008673
>Oy Vey, think of the overhead costs, goy!
Do your part to fight overpopulation and gas yourself Billy boi.

>>713008673
>paid for thing
>can't use thing now

I did lose my ability to fucking play. I cannot download MC and play it unless I pirate.

>>713008673
>Disable mojang sign ups and force every new account to be microsoft
>Keep the migration option for the accounts that remained on the archive
Its that simple, nigger.

>>713008541
CS2 should be a warning for times to come
and yet nobody's paying attention

Is this the new /tv/ spam "meme"

>>713009183
"games as a service". For me, still, in 2025, the concepts of "seasons" in games, where you get content added and ***REMOVED*** from your videogame at a constant rate sounds insane. I will forever not accept this and not pay for any videogame that does this.

>>713008673
>But you didn’t lose your ability to play, you lost access to their online servers.
No, you specifically lost the ability to play.
Despite HAVING everyone's accounts still for data harvesting purpose, they DO NOT let you authenticate that you own the game which prevents you from even playing Single Player worlds since it's been all multiplayer for decades.

>>713006959 (OP)
You select CSGO legacy mode to play CSGO..

To launch CS:GO

in your steam library right click Counter-Strike 2

Properties > Betas > Beta Participation (top right)

select: csgo_legacy

not sure if this works i just found this on google

>>713007542
>it's another episode of Abdullah from Berlin or Ivan Rapebabyoglu from Eastern Europe thinking everyone is cheating

>>713009634
The funny thing is Valve wouldn't even ban you from running the game for cheating.
They only do that for actual reasons, like credit card fraud.

>this dude actually thought everyone could rent everything to everyone, literally at the exact same time, literally, on a literally literal level, literally

y tho?

>>713010327
It's commie retard logic.
All humans "own everything", but he just defines everyone but himself as sub human so he never has to think about the logistics of this system

>>713010486
He's just a fucking larper. He even got a techno-babble suit and everything, thinking he was Bob Page or some shit like that.

>>713010857
Yeah, but I'm explaining to you how his retard logic works.

>>713008541
When you own the platform and have a near monopoly, you can do anything

>>713010949
I mean, how are you supposed to rent everything, when even you can't own anything?

>>713010857
>larper
Dude is in a position of unfathomable, world controlling power.

>>713010327
>this dude actually thought everyone could rent everything to everyone
everyone except the anonymous ruling class which doesn't ackshully exist because it's a naatee conspiracy theory*

>>713011083
Does he have access to nukes? No? Then he's not powerful.

No nukes = No real power

>>713010327
Profit. If you buy something once that's it, they can't profit off you any more. If they convince you to rent then they profit off you eternally. Letting people own things creates a cap on profits. Making them rent forever increases that cap

>>713011076
You can't, but if you define yourself or others out of the category of "people" you can pretend you did.

>>713011161
Power doesn't solely emanate from the barrel of a gun.

>>713011183
Except this would strip them of their rights as human beings, since they're no longer people, and some random guy could rape his eyes ockets with a shit-stained corncob holder, and none would come to his rescue since they don't have to.

>>713011083
Power like that is based on informational superiority and anonymity first and foremost. Perhaps he could have been, back when he was young and internet didn't exist. But today he is just a geriatric freemason priest who got turned into a funny meme.
The traditional system of the world governance is dying because of the internet.

>>713010023
And daring to download a free game that is unavailable in your shithole country with a VPN.

>>713011269
It actually does, retard.

>>713011269
>Power doesn't solely emanate from the barrel of a gun

So why hasn't the US, China, or even North Korea invaded Russia then? Who the fuck wants to clean up the radioactive waste, or even risk getting raped to death for nuking shit to begin with?

Vague concept for retards that ultimately boils down to the same physical force from which all power derives. Your "soft power" is nothing if whoever you attempt to apply it to can just tell you to fuck off and knock your teeth out. Any global hegemony was always backed by overwhelming military and naval force.

Types of power can only differentiate in a methods of controlling this force.

>>713011468
Why would anyone want to invade Russia? Slav slave markets went out of fashion when they stopped being pagan, so the only reasons are to get at Siberian resources or remove the current government from power.
Since the current government is their own worst enemy and once it collapses resources will be free for the pillaging, there's no reason to invade right now.

>>713008673
Why don't they merge it themselves? Why don't they clone my credentials to the new server?

>>713012027
That's the most retarded part, they still retained everyone's mojang account credentials.
They just don't let you use them.
