Last gasp of a dying game. It is the ultimate twitch shooter, all skill and the maps are known, but like SC2 it's dying.

I own over 1000 steam games and don't play any of those, MP games will always have high numbers, but make no mistake, CSGO is not what it once was.

Of course it's not what it was
Nobody thinks that. But it's still an incredibly relevant game

The two games I watch the most on Twich are SC2 and CSGO, sometime I have to search for them to find a live game, most of the time the viewers are under 1000, and that's bad for a game on Twitch.

SC2 and CSGO are just games alot of people dont want to watch. Using Twitch stats to judge a game on how many people play the game. Football Manager is one of the most played games on Steam and its basically impossible to find a stream with over 500 viewers.

Linking some random Youtube video with 22k views from some random Youtuber isnt a great way to support your argument

Honestly I have no idea. I know in the past ive seen more than a few people say they play it. What does that have to do with anything though? This is an SEC related website and its a Soccer game. Usually those two groups dont mix.

Old games rely on new buyers and viewers to raise revenue, both of the aforementioned games are losing those. CSGO has the trade market, without that it would be almost dead. EQ is still running and putting out expacs, yet it's not really relevant.

Are you saying CSGO is not relevant?

I just played one and it force closed half way into the match, sigh.

It's cool though, you gotta get money and then buy your weapons/armor and a drone delivers them to you.

Very different.

Looks like its a pretty steady 300k players. And the release of f2p and battle royale should skyrocket those numbers
