Should csgo be free?

In my opinion, by the new productions, the game simply burns out, but the big downside is that some have paid a lot for this game.

If they just improved the VAC system then the game would do great as a free to play game going into 2019. But that's 100% not happening lol

Personally I say no to it being free but on the other hand it does bring in more people to the game making it more active and more people playing

I don't think so. It's more important to inspire players so they'll buy the game rather than give it away for free and you'll have a lot of trolls/cheaters.

It's been free to play for weeks now, they've made prime access P2P but for the most part, it's free now.

I agree with the fact that there should be a better system than VAC in place, but I'm not that sure Valve wants that, since they just make more money off of the cheaters who have to buy new accounts everytime a ban wave hits and even though the game is now free I do expect to see a lot them still buying the prime upgrade.

Same goes for this. Though most of their profits on csgo are through skins and cases, now they have more opportunity to profit off of individuals who would like prime access.

I do not think so, because of the shitters. A little comes soon.

hackers are annoying but easy to beat on prime with you own skill xD

They will make more revenue from it, but the number of hackers will rise for sure.
