IIRC it was in early 2013, so 5 years ago? CS GO was only released 6 or so months before hand.

People still bring it up, but no way would they pull that move again.

True. Hard to believe that was already 5 years ago, but I think you're right. I was pretty furious at the time. I also seem to remember that ESEA got hit with _super_ heavy fines for way more than they ended up earning in bitcoin. Probably a fairly strong deterrent.
