CS has a healthy playerbase, dont know if it has it because or despite it's slow changing nature but the game is still doing well in every sense of the word. what i dont get is: why does a specific game has to change if there are shiny new ones released everyday? CS existing does not take away your ability to try the new hotness, but changing CS into something new would take the ability away to enjoy CS as it was.
No, CS needs to evolve, the core competitive mode can stay the same but the game will continue to lose players if it doesn't add other content and if it refuses to actually grow in anyway other than its predatory monetization schemes...
I think so too, and have the same kind of complaints you do, but a lot of players don't want the game to change.
Especially the pro players who practice grenade lineups and the firing patterns of weapons and all that, to them it'd be more work to learn something new and they hate when even minor changes are introduced.
I think making CS a platform of sorts for mods and different types of game modes like Danger Zone could be a good way of pleasing everyone but Valve seems to have given up on that too.
You said yourself you don't play it, but a lot of people do and don't want it to change. If you don't like it, you can play all those other fps games that are way more fun.
