Comment on Why do Counterstrike and the other top 10 games on Steam NEVER change?

All the games you listed like PUBG and GTA V are more like fads. Sure some lasted longer than others but their popularity dies down. Games like Counter Strike are considered to be more of classics. Especially to the older generation of gamers who grew up on them. These are games that are able to stand the test of time.

GTA V is a fad? That game is over a decade old dude

And pubg isn’t exactly the latest thing anymore either. It came out in 2017.

And it was based on an arma mod from 2012.

Ugh that game died to me the day they added bots. I am so sad, it was one of my favorite games. My first 1v99 win got my heart rate up above 170.

CS:GO is around the same age with much more players on average. GTA V’s player count tends to fluctuate based on what I’ve seen.

GTA V is second only to Minecraft in copies sold, and it still appears in the top 10 for copies sold on most months, 11 years after its initial release. It’s also available on other stores and consoles, so Steam is not a complete picture.
