Counter-Strike: Global Offensivewrapped up its Operation Broken Fang today. The announcement of the changes coming at the end of operation today also included the release of an in-game stat tracking system forCounter-Strike: Global Offensive, and some fans are not happy.
One popular feature that came with Operation Broken Fang was a new stat tracking system calledCS:GO360 Stats. The system keeps track of players' performance acrossCounter-Strike: Global Offensive’s competitive modes, and while players expected the feature to go away with Operation Broken Fang, Valve has revealed that it will remain in the game, but will now charge a subscription fee.

Some fans have started voicing their complaints about the new subscription fee for the in-game stat tracking system. Some players are voicing their theories that it may signal Valve implementing a similar subscription service as it has for its popular MOBADota 2, called Dotaplus. Many other fans have expressed confusion at why they would pay $0.99 a month for a stat-tracking service that is less detailed than multiple third-party sites that are available to all players for free. Other players have also voiced frustration that Valve implemented the subscription while not adding many of theother features thatCounter-Strike: Global Offensiveplayers have been asking for, like new maps and better anti-cheat measures.
While it is good to see Valve continuing to update and supportCounter-Strike: Global Offensive, hopefully, it can find a way to make the new service more appealing for players who think that the subscription service isn’t worth the price. The community’s frustration does come soon after players grew angry at Valve for closing a loophole that allowed streamers to properly captureCounter-Strike: Global Offensiveusing OBS while in trusted mode. Hopefully, the future forCounter-Strike: Global Offensivewill bring more cool operations that fans can enjoy, and more updates and new features that will receive a warmer welcome within the community.
