Valve, renowned for developing and producing great games is currently in a rather sticky situation.
Valve has been raking in hundreds of millions of dollars from the success of Counter-Strike. Valve is now in a predicament; do they continue adding cosmetically appealing items or do they focus on game mechanics? One side of the Counter-Strike, the traders, are demanding more in-game items and the other, competitive, is demanding more game development.
Valve has of recent released rather lackluster updates; sprays, negev buff, revolver buff and low-tier knives.
What's your opinion on the state of the game and where do you hope the game goes?
