First of all this was a good game, which I could have recommended.
But for casual players that don't look for a game to troll, tryhard or flame in, in 2k17, it is unplayable and not enjoyable at all. I do speak out of my own experience, and believe me if I tell you, I have enough experience to tell you, that this game went from a highly recommended shooter to one of the most boring and annoying ones. Gaming has changed of years, from full budget games to micro transactions, believe it or not, Counter Strike: GO made the first steps into the world of Shooters as we now it today. And that's why I used to like this game very much. Of course, you can spend your money on crates and still be bad in the game, but you can also just try to get better at it and have fun while doing that, with or without friends. The time when I bought this game was an awesome time, like as to many other players of Counter Strike. But what exactly has changed? It's the way Valve kept their game alive. To be honest, there was not really a strategy to put some more effort in this game anymore after it made such a big performance on E-Sport and Steam.

2014, February, to my time in CS:GO, Valve started releasing the Operations System. Means, you pay, you get some cool stuff to do. Was that necessary? Not really, just another way to make their money, a pretty reasonable one. But this is not the problem of Counter Strike. The Players and Experience are. It became more and more obvious as Valve started their rush on Skins which were totally misunderstood, the thing that mattered was how much profit was made with it and through it. As the game became more popular, more toxic and bad people entered the community of Counter Strike GO and not just them, one of the most important problems were the scammers. Uncarefully acting, people got scammed, went toxic and ruined everyone elses game. I traded myself up from around 0.03 Euros to a Knife, that was about 260€. Not only playing the game got hard then, it was the trading too, the main thing i did in Counter Strike besides playing it. Let's be honest, nobody plays Counter Strike GO seriously anymore, and it won't change until Valve changes something. But hey, let's develope another game.. hm.. how about a Hearthstone fake?

Don't do it to yourself, just don't buy it. You will end up wasting your money for crates, getting scammed or just getting toxic.
