How is the game becoming f2p equivalent to it being taken away from you?

Do you feel the same every 2 years when the new wow expansion releases and the previous one becomes free?

Do you feel the same whenever a product you bought for full price goes on sale?

Oh, it's not. The game being removed from my library is equivalent to it being taken away from me.

It's not removed. You can still access latest CS:GO version via beta tab in game properties. Is it inconvenient? Yes. Is it shit that achievements for CSGO were removed? Yes. But you can still play it, and play on community servers.

Hey so results online say that you can only play against bots in that game? Can you refute that only cause im going to base my full opinion on your answer

From what I've saw, Valve servers are offline so no official MM. You can play with bots, and play on community servers, but you have to connect via "connect" command in console, because community server browser is broken.

It's literally not the same product.

Going Free to Play is fine. Going Free to Play and then outright removing it from the library of someone who paid for it is not, in my opinion.

Don't know how much this has to be explained to people but it wasn't removed. You can still play it by enabling beta clients in CS2 settings. You just can't use matchmaking but community servers still work.
