Look at this growth in player base. How did this happen?

Yeah it was rough around the edges in 2012 but got really solid after a year of update and exploded when the skin update came out.
The game is pretty much stable now and they haven't really touched the balance in years.
Most importantly the engine is fucking solid and despites the few die hards whining about netcode being off by 10ms sometimes it's still the best there is. As far as I know it's the only modern engine that doesn't use temporal slop for its effects and it runs damn fast.

My only experience with CS is buying skins on 3rd party websites in order to sell them on Steam itself and get more store credit relative to what I paid for the skins.

>Custom servers are nothing like what they used to be

I have such a hard time finding mini game servers, there used to be so many with such a rich community. So much variation in jailbreak servers. More ze/zm than you could count rather than a few.

Many FPS games went to shit, while Counter Strike remains mid but playable.

Nobody gives a shit about esports. You can use CS2 as a casino. Not a hyperbolic casino, but a literal casino, and that's it's primary purpose now.
