Fortnite came out in '17, at some point it's no longer going to be relevant.
- jsheard 11mo agoCounter Strike came out in '99 and it's more relevant than ever. Some games just keep going and going.
- Ferret7446 11mo agoI hate to break it to you, but CS is not relevant. How much money do you think it makes, compared to recent top sellers or live service/mobile games?
- refulgentis 11mo agoAbout $1B/year. CS:GO is the highest grossing game on Steam, according to some sources, all agree its top 5. Why is that irrelevant?
- jsheard 11mo agoAlso consistently the most played game on Steam by a fair margin. That doesn't necessarily make it the most played PC game since some big titles like League and Fortnite aren't on Steam, but it's at least close.
- Ferret7446 11mo agoRaid shadow legends is also estimated to make around $1B/year, and there are many such mobile games. Roblox made $3.6B in 2024. Fornite makes $3-5B/year for the past ~decade. Genshin Impact is estimated to make ~$10B this year. Not only in revenue, but all of the above have way more cultural impact/awareness too. The pond is very big, but it's easy to miss that if you're in a bubble in that pond.
- Yokolos 11mo agoCS is consistently the top played game on Steam every year. Are you saying Steam isn't relevant? That's quite the claim to be making.
- refulgentis 11mo agoYou didn't know what you were talking about and got caught in it. That's fine! I was surprised too. Something I've learned with age is it's better to have a laugh together than throw out more cover.
- bloqs 11mo agoI dont give the slightest of shits about CS but have you seen the figures? It's doing absurdly well. In addition the separate economy for skins peaked at 6 billion recently. thats not irrelevant

- lanfeust6 11mo agoIts not the same game today as it was '99. You could try to make the argument for Fortnite but the differences are not substantial. Point being that if changes are a given, then it's possible for it to run on Linux in the future.
