Ong why did they not just keep csgo on steam and release cs2 beside it or wait until cs2 is atleast playable on linux

To keep thousands of now irrelevant reviews, allow themselves to remonetize content and jumpstart a player base that now has no other choice but to switch.

yo we're not talking about blizzard, we're talking about valve here and they are not scumbags like that, I think you're being a little harsh

CSGO is still in CS2's beta channel on Steam as csgo_demo_viewer or something like that, but obviously limited to community servers/offline play, no official dedicated servers.

Thank you! Tried almost every beta on the list, CS2 loaded every time.
