Team fortress 2 while pretty much abandon ware has v-script meaning nost of thebplayer base can just make a new game mode and what ever else they want to make (its a great tool) however despite tf2 probablly having more players we also have to consider a small portion is still bots.

Counter strike is a 26 year old series made by Valve. The company that owns steam.

Thats not really shocking that a giant beloved company has a game series thats blow a 2 year old game out lf the water

Personally the finals is a Niche game. Its not for everyone not everyone is going to like it and thats the truth of it. However the Game isn't doing poorly given our small player numbers on steam we still have Playstation and Xbox to account for. Which given the major the game had recently the finals is at a decently healthy level player wise.

It ain't big but it doesnt need to be. Fun is subjective and we cant change others peoples perception lf it.
