The main problem is, of course, bots. It has been there for 6 years but it began to grow exponentially 2 years ago. And even tho Valve could've done something (for example, hire some white hat hackers to locate and get rid of anti cheat weak spots). But they didn't. Neither do they now, actually. All they do is add new repainted cosmetic cases.

But the community is still there! Despite the fact that there haven't been a major update since 2017, despite the game being unplayable the way it was intended to, despite your radio-silence policy, Valve. Despite the game being 15 years old!

You created a timeless masterpiece, Valve! A game that is still loved! A game that still gets new players! A game with one of the most friendly and strong communities (still around 100k players every day)! Lastly, this game still brings money to you! Quite a lot of money, actually.

Don't leave the game to die, swallowed by bots. It deserves a better fate...
