Valorant is already dying. I doubt it will do anything to displace CSGO. If anything the toxic and racist community GabeN has cultivated will do CSGO in before a competitor will best them in gameplay.

Seriously sick of hearing this.

The Internet has been "toxic and racist" since, oh, the first chat room...

Kiddies in a game can't hurt you. Worry about the important shit, like being killed or thrown in a cage by law enforcement.

In any respectable community, those sorts of people tend to get unceremoniously ejected from the community - from IRC channels to web forums to community-run game servers of old.

Now, games are match-made and game companies are pretty much forced to exercise discretion about what kind of community they want to have playing their game. Personally, I no longer have the patience for losing 30+ minutes of my life to a game that was lost because there's a 3-stack on my team who do nothing but throw, team-kill and think they're the height of comedy because they say offensive things or have a swastika as their profile picture.

if you don't have a porn spray, are you even really even serious about playing CS 1.6?

Food for thought: kiddies playing games might one day work in law enforcement

Law enforcement that gets triggered by insults seems pretty dangerous too tbh.

Are you trying to justify online toxicity and unsportsmanship in multiplayer video games by comparing them with the tragedy of George Floyd?

You think he's the only person/race very ng killed by police, then, you're the problem.

Hard to take this seriously considering they had 3 million DAU during the closed beta and it's averaging 100k+ concurrent viewers on Twitch during the day (North America).
