Are you guys arguing that the popularity of CS compared with CS:S is the amount of control admins have over their servers, using plugins and the like? That seems really far-fetched to me. I don't play any kind of Counter-Strike, but when I play DoD:S (and used to play DoD), all of the server plugin stuff was just annoying. I'm sure there are non-irritating uses of server plugins, but it seems really unlikely that that accounts solely for the 4x player differences between the two games.
My guess is the main difference is inertia. People like being good at something and familiarity (how many people still play Nethack?) For what it's worth, Valve has been nothing but helpful towards me and my team. Their games' filesystems are open, and they use basic textfiles all over the place that let you do cool stuff with their engine. And Mike especially has been very helpful. Keep up the great work.
