All the games you listed like PUBG and GTA V are more like fads. Sure some lasted longer than others but their popularity dies down. Games like Counter Strike are considered to be more of classics. Especially to the older generation of gamers who grew up on them. These are games that are able to stand the test of time.
GTA V is a fad? That game is over a decade old dude
CS:GO is around the same age with much more players on average. GTA V's player count tends to fluctuate based on what I've seen.
CS:GO is gone, they replaced it with CS2
It's been years since I played or looked at anything CS related. I had no idea they shut down CS:GO.
I new CS2 was a thing but I didn't know they shut down CS:GO
Edit: its technically still playable, you can apparently downgrade CS2 to play it, but idk if the servers are still up or anything.
no Servers no nothing from valve, just community/ locally hosted.
