The recent update of Counter-Strike 2 has caused a wave of outrage among the player community, who believe that Valve is more focused on lucrative microtransactions than on solving key issues such as cheats. The main issue is that along with the new cosmetic items - keychains - the company has not made any significant changes to the anti-cheat system.
Outrage on Reddit: “The main thing for Valve is money”
On the Reddit forum, users are actively discussing Valve's priorities. One of the commenters, zenis04, noted: “Their main goal is to make money.” This comment has gained popularity as many players agree that the company is more interested in making money than in improving the gaming experience.
Other users also emphasize that the problem with cheating is only getting worse. “They'll never make a proper anti-cheat because they're just incompetent,” wrote 95zero, pointing to the constant presence of cheaters in the game, even at high ranks.
Cosmetics instead of anti-cheat?
On the other hand, part of the community emphasizes that developers can work in parallel on different aspects of the game. aanstleerr noted: “3D artists can work on cosmetic items while other developers work on anti-cheat and code.” However, this argument did not convince the majority of players, who believe that Valve should address the problem of cheating first.
A widespread problem in the industry
Many players agree that cheating is a problem in many multiplayer games, but Valve has been criticized for not taking active measures to combat it. As theirongiants74 noted, “Every multiplayer game is filled with cheaters, but Valve isn't doing enough about it.”
While discussions continue, players remain frustrated by the lack of an effective anti-cheat and concerned that the company is more focused on lucrative opportunities than on solving important problems for the community.
