Counter-Strike hasn’t been losing popularity for more than 20 years. The latest part, Counter-Strike:Global Offensive, was presented in 2012. Despite the fact that the game was released ten years ago, its online presence continues to grow year after year, breaking eSports records. This is all thanks to constant updates, smart economy, and game balance. Even though the game is free, donations don’t affect the player's success in any way. Cases with different skins, which change a weapon's animation and look but don't change the game's balance, are the main way CS:GO makes money.
