While my time has not been freqeuent recently, I believe the recent decision to make CSGO free to play is ultimately the correct move, so long as Valve knows how to properly continue its development on anti-cheat measures. If so, then this game will flourish like TF2 when it went free to play (despite the initial negative reaction), if not, well, this game will suffer and the overwhelming amount of negative reviews being published at the time of this review are justified.

In regards to the battle royale gamemode, play it or don't—it doesn't have to affect you.
