I don't know who you are talking to in regards to private custom game mode servers being 10x less popular. I run a small community with 20 servers in TF2 and a couple in CS:GO. I don't know if the two are related, however since the quick play changes my servers have only increased in popularity. Mostly I think it's because my servers have a lot of custom content and have been around for 3 years now. My experience maybe different from others but that's what I'm seeing. Not saying I think anything Valve is doing regarding quick play and vanilla servers is correct. On Dec 18, 2015 7:47 AM, "Robert Paulson" <thepauls...@gmail.com> wrote:
