Oh yeah sure let’s just have two games that are almost identical, split the efforts of the devs into maintaining them both and releasing consistent updates, split the efforts of the server administrators into maintaining them both, and detract from your concurrent player base from our new game to keep our old game on life support.
Yall are some crybabies. CS:GO was alive for 10 years, CS2 has been out for 1. It took some time to re-work Dust 2 and add it back into the map pool. I miss agency, I miss cache, but those maps are being reworked and added in over time. It’s a long game scenario here. Give it time and enjoy the free to play game that they sunk a shitload of resources into dramatically improving, that they are going to maintain for at least another decade, just like the last game.
This is the real answer. In this day and age where a 16gb USB stick can be had for literally $5usd on Amazon, it would be silly not to have a few kicking around. I don’t think any Linux distro live environment media requires more than 16gb, and it’s more than enough for updating a bios. I even used one to update the infotainment system in my vehicle last week. Kind of a necessary tool.
