Valve moved with the times. And bullshit it is not. Valve added Counter-Strike, Day Of Defeat, Team Fortress Classic and then updated them and the core game considerably, including revamped interfaces, netcode and security through VAC (which was a joke but they at least tried).

You act as if their only intention is to fuck over gamers and that is blatantly not true.
