This is a bit selfish view. I loved their controller, I love steam link allowing me to seamlessly play from any room (with whatever controller I want). I use Linux and think that vr is something everyone should try at some point. I know that you maybe couldn't care less about these things, but don't exacerbate the argument by saying "nobody".

Besides, cs started with 3rd party servers and have always been there. Many people have never transitioned to the official matchmaking and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

I just think that your comment is a bit too salty on HN's standards.

Good for you mate that you enjoyed all that. I'm just pointing out they do a poor job on cs security and anti-cheat and communication in contrast to other efforts on the company like these, and it's cs who made steam possible, not that other stuff.

3rd party servers are different from 3rd party services.

I think it's great they take a server side approach to anticheating. More intrusive methods of other vendors reliably need andministrative access to the useres system and theres no way I allow anything game-related to run with root privileges. CS:GO is one of the best games in the market in this regard. The cs playerbase regularly complains about the opponents cheating when its much more likely that the other player is just much better.
That's sadly true indeed.
