    Confirmed. Counterstrike specifically was very inclusive and very open to most players of all ages, demographics, and skill ranges especially compared to other shooters of the 00’s. Then matchmaking and eventually premier got introduced and any chance of moderating the community died and here we are today.

      matchmaking killed the fun in so many ways. cs got tryhardy and toxic, but so many multiplayer games are now insufferable because of matchmaking and agressive monetization.
