CS:GO went free around when PUBG came out. Before that, it was a paid game. I’m one of the many who paid for it.
It released in 2012 as a paid product and was switched to Free to Play in December of 2018.
From Wikipedia:
An update released on December 6, 2018, made the game fully free to play. Users who had purchased the game prior to this update were automatically updated to “Prime” status and given modes that can drop cosmetic items. In addition, the new version introduced a battle royale mode called “Danger Zone”.
Wasn’t CS: GO free and OW1 paid? That’s a pretty big difference if they took away something you paid for vs took away something you got for free.
