It was pure gaming.

No advertisments, no marketing, no extra costs.

The only way to get better was to play more.

How can it not be fun?

Good ol' days, thank you VALVE.

CS 1.6 was not made by Valve, it was a mod for Half-Life.

I believe the thank you was regarding the mod-friendly mindset of early valve. A section in the game menu for loading new mods and it shipped with a mod (TFC, which was based off a community mod for Quake)
