As a very fresh FPS player I got my first game in April'16 because I've seen it's very good looking, friendly, and popular... and played it like everyone did.
But then appeared an update.
An update freaturing no quickplay, longer waiting times, and the addicting button.
A huge hate wave everywhere in the internet has blown the feeling of a great game right of me.
I've seen the game started to die, which already did earlier (I just didn't notice as I was a tiny gibus then).

I realized I came here too late.
I missed all the Gmod memes and stuff to watch.
I missed all the exploits to discover.
I missed all the things to do.
I didn't even miss them because I had no internet back in those times :p

But, you know?... I don't care.

I can make my own videos.
I can find new exploits on these new maps (but frontier still has much to discover :p)
I can do a lot more things, even make a new plugin or gamemode.

For me the game isn't dying.

For me the game yet begins.

I had no idea what to write. Hope it gave you some hope :)

And for everyone saying "This game is dying": It's not dying:

• It's a vicious cycle of new players coming and old players quitting. (For the gibus haters)
  
• Valve is trying to squeeze out the last money from it. (For the new version haters)
  
• Someone can make a mod so the game looks like in the old times. (Also for new version haters)
