Unfortunately Valve will probably just remain silent on this topic and just wait for it to go quiet until the next time someone brings it up. Sadly it does strongly seem they're doing subtle changes to the game which push it more towards official servers and therefore killing community servers litt

I've given up on this a while ago. When the 1 year mark passed with no concessions for communities except for quickpick that no one uses, it was safe to say that Valve doesn't care about communities anymore. There is no sense of urgency as they let player-bases carefully built up over several year

TBH, judging by how it works it looks easily abusable as it if you have friends cooperating with you. You can farm some of those contracts rather rapidly if you have two friends getting together on a nearly empty valve server, or probably even on a full server if you decide on a meeting point. On

CS:GO has been community-hostile since day 1. The main menu encourages you to join official servers through matchmaking, and even clicking on the community server button gives you this nice dialog: https://www.doctormckay.com/screenshots/1435814676_DaEqX.png On Thu, Jul 2, 2015 at 6:02 PM, Michael
