Three years ago, after “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive” (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) was converted to a free game, Valve converted paying players to Prime priority accounts to distinguish free players from joining. However, because free players still benefit from Prime’s participation in ranked games and receive special rewards, Valve finally decided to remove these benefits.
“In addition to all gameplays are provided for free, new players also have channels to obtain dropped items, military ranks, technical groups, and ways to obtain priority matching for free.” Valve said in the announcement: “Unfortunately, a paragraph After time, these benefits have become an incentive for bad actors, and their abuse will damage the game experience of new and old players. So today we have to re-adjust the content provided to new players.”
According to the update instructions, free players can still play all game modes, play on the social server, and play the workshop map. However, they will no longer receive experience points, military ranks, dropped items or technical groups, these contents are now exclusive to paying players with Prime priority accounts.
Of course, free players can still purchase Prime in the Steam store to upgrade to a priority account, and there will be ways to get priority status for free in the future. If free players purchase upgrades in the next two weeks, your current technology group and experience point progress will continue to be retained.
At the same time, “CS:GO” has also set up a “non-points” matching mode. When new players play competitive, partner and dangerous zone modes, they will still match their skills based on their skills, but players will not win the technical team promotion. .
Prime priority players can also play “non-points” matches, and their technical team will not be affected, and there will be no technical team lobby restrictions.
