I really don't understand why people like those games. I don't find them fun at all. And the micro transactions are so fucking obnoxious.

They're a very pure and straightforward shooter experience with a lot of polish. I don't think it's that weird.

The level of monetization is totally unhinged at this point, but there's a good game buried underneath it all.

See, CS is too far for me. Every weapon being a nearly instakill and no respawns just isn't fun for me. I'll give it to you that it's even simpler though.

People like them now because they are in the same situation you were when you liked them.
