For the example: even tho it’s true that CSGO used to be a paid game, it had been free for 5 years and before that it was 15$, not 40 or however much was ow.

I think you're missing the point. It doesn't matter what the price point was. People paid for these games. The game going "free" isn't a valid justification for being like "its okay this product you paid for is being taken from you."

Would you feel the same about any other product in your life? Why is it justified when that something you paid for being taken from you is "a game."

Cs2 comes with a whole new engine which changes a bunch of things

Yeah, a lot less content than CS:GO and no new content. Seems like they could have let it bake longer before release.

How is the game becoming f2p equivalent to it being taken away from you?

Do you feel the same every 2 years when the new wow expansion releases and the previous one becomes free?

Do you feel the same whenever a product you bought for full price goes on sale?

Oh, it's not. The game being removed from my library is equivalent to it being taken away from me.

It's not removed. You can still access latest CS:GO version via beta tab in game properties. Is it inconvenient? Yes. Is it shit that achievements for CSGO were removed? Yes. But you can still play it, and play on community servers.

Hey so results online say that you can only play against bots in that game? Can you refute that only cause im going to base my full opinion on your answer

From what I've saw, Valve servers are offline so no official MM. You can play with bots, and play on community servers, but you have to connect via "connect" command in console, because community server browser is broken.
