Stay or go: CS2 players' thoughts on the growing problem of cheaters

 Players have expressed their frustration, pointing out that even after thousands of hours played and achieving high rankings, the gaming experience remains spoiled due to the ineffectiveness of anti-cheat systems.

One of the users shared his experience on Reddit, indicating that he quit the game due to the inability to find a fair match without additional payments for avoiding cheating teams. According to him, he was forced to use paid services to ensure a fairer game, which only emphasizes the problems with the system.

Other users echoed his sentiments, suggesting that they should give up CS in favor of other competitive games such as Valorant , where they say there are fewer cheaters and more attention is paid to the player community. They criticize Valve for not paying enough attention to the community and failing to adequately address the problem of cheating, which negatively affects the gaming experience.

This situation is a cause for concern among players who have invested time and effort in improving their skills, only to have their efforts overshadowed by unfair practices. The question remains whether Valve will be able to take more drastic measures to address this issue or whether players will continue to look for alternatives in other gaming ecosystems.
