CSGO is still the King of FPS games, even in 2023
My first memory of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is on the map Inferno, which looked drastically different back in 2006. With a poor connection and no GPU to speak of, my Core 2 Duo could barely handle the FPS game. It should have been irritating, but surprisingly CS 1.6 offered the same competitive experience as the velvety CSGO does today. It's tricky to pinpoint it, but Counter-Strike's popularity is clearly not driven by occasional facelifts. It's a matter of passion, emotion, and matchless competition.
