How many other video games from 2009 are people talking about today? It's just the nature of the beast.

I beg to differ. I am not aware of any DLCs. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is free to play. There are cosmetics like gun skins you can purchase, but nothing gives you competitive advantage in the game.

Good point. I guess it's the exception though. Interesting that it probably had similar user numbers for the first few years as Angry Birds but just had a lot deeper and more "creator"-type gameplay.
