"Counter-Strike took the gaming industry by surprise when the unlikely MOD became the most played online PC action game in the world almost immediately after its release in August 1999," says Doug Lombardi, the Director of Marketing at Valve.
As I write this, there are over 50,000 people simultaneously playing Counter-Strike in one of its many forms, so why would Valve force a sequel onto a community that has essentially been playing the same game for twelve years straight? CS just keeps getting updated and remixed, which makes sense when you consider its relentless popularity. I mean, most games spawn sequels and spinoffs, but not Counter-Strike.
But if you were to mention this to any seasoned Counter-Strike player, you would quickly have one fewer friend on Facebook. After all, CS:GO is essentially just a graphical update of a twelve-year-old mod that's already been rereleased twice.
To the layperson, it may seem a little strange that Valve would dump a seemingly endless stream of time and money into Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
