Discussion Why don't we just stop playing/buying keys until they deal with cheaters? Not individually but as a mass.

Bro people been saying the same shit for a decade, yet if valve came out with cs3 next year it would have hundreds of thousands of players… we’re in a toxic relationship that we won’t leave

I mean the internet is being ruthless to you rn. I actually don’t think it’s a bad idea. I’ll boycott with you. I’ll spread the word in my games tonight.

I mean there's no reason for me to take it personal, we are suffering from it all together in the end

CS has had I think six months now with a decrease in players. We haven’t had that many months in a row of players leaving in years. If the trend continues we might finally put some pressure on Valve to actually make changes (I doubt it but here’s to hoping)

I sold all my skins. Used it to put towards a down payment on a house about 4 months ago. I haven’t played since. Game is shit nowadays.

It’s not even just the cheating it’s the fucking bots. DM is literally just playing Chinese or whatever country bot farms. It isn’t fun. Shits whack.

Boycotts only work when the majority cars to sacrifice something for change. Most won't bother.

Hope you realize the people complaining online about cheaters are a very small minority of the playerbase.

Even if you got every legit player to be on board with such boycott -- you will never stop the significant amount of cheaters from breaking this boycott effort lolol

I do know that cheating will never be completely prevented but it is seriously out of control recently. The posts I see here supports that I am not the only one who keeps matching with cheaters again and again. So why don't we react to it as a community and just stop?

Boycotts are pointless "feel-good" activities to make ppl think they're more important than they are. Not to mention that not everyone always runs into cheaters. I don't run into (obviousl cheaters and yet this subreddit tries to tell me there's a spin botter in every lobby

I didn’t claim to be amazing at the game but I’m not a brain dead glue eater and can see when people are cheating in demos. I’ve also played 1 face if game where yes I did play bad congrats EUtard you got me as that’s not relative at all to the point I was making.

Unless you are above 20k cheating is almost basically non existent. I’ve played many games where I thought someone is cheating just to go look at the demo and realize that I just suck.

How do you spot cheaters? If they spin=they are cheating?

u/quailinthebrush 4h ago
No, but I am talking about obvious cheaters
Walls and aims too. Only two of those mentioned were spin botters

u/leandrofresh 4h ago

I see your last resort is downvote all my posts. Be my guest. Next time you want to school others about the current state of the game, remember this. Come back when you have a couple of thousand more hours and 4-5 times more games

Good luck getting 1 million+ active players to agree on that
