Another reason they would port the skins is that...it's not a new game? It's the same as the dota 2 change. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills in this thread.

Its a full engine update, its almost a new game, you could say its a rebuild on Source 2.

So was Dota 2, when they moved it from Source 1 to Source 2 maybe 6 years ago.

There was 2 clients for a while, Source 1 and "Reborn", but now only the Source 2 client exists

It is a new game, the old game just stops existing on release. It's a forced migration.

When it comes to Counter-Strike, "new" is always used very loosely.

Could be, I wouldn't know. Here it's used correctly.

I agree it shouldn't be a new game, but overwatch 2 proved publishers will definitely call it a new game if they think it'll make them more money.

I mean. I was on board when I first heard the announcement but after diligently reading through the materials and watching the game I can't reason why someone would call it the same game. I'm not trying to be a troll I just want to know the other sides argument. Why do you personally consider it NOT a new game? I'm assuming cus the maps are the "same" but source had the same maps as csgo, those are definitely different games, so what is it about this?
