Can you please explain why CS:S players did not drop during that time then?
No and neither can you. Because we don't have the stats to determine that.
It's clear though that TF2 drops between updates and it seemed to drop
more after Skyrim's phenomenal figures for a time.
So it's a guess. Why doesn't CS rely so much? I would say because it's
an old game that runs on ancient hardware. I suspect many of people
running it that keep the numbers high don't have the kit to run TF2 or
Skyrim and other modern games, hence they will probably be less affected
by releases of modern games. But to tell for sure we'd need data we
don't have.
But, one thing we do know. TF2 numbers today aren't low, they're high.
And they didn't remove Quickplay.
So it seems that your guess that quickplay is killing TF2 was wrong. The
evidence today doesn't show it.
