CS:S is awesome still because its years now you still got to pay to play it. It has got tons of different modifications you can do to it so there is something for everyone. Yes there are a lot of older players and its going on 10+ years. People still play the game whatever there reasons for however long periods of time each day. They leave but always come back to it, just the fact that it is still alive after 10+ years of time means the developers did something right. The thing today is there are too many games out there not enough gamers people flock where their friends go, where their curiousity takes them, but eventually they come back. I myself am one of those guys I will take breaks periodically experience other games a bit but then I come back and its on as if I was playing one of those new Triple A Titles.
