Counterstrike 1.6 in the browser for those who like quick trips down memory lane: https://play-cs.com

I am instantly taken back to a time where we literally planned to lug big tower computers to my friends house just to be able to play CS 1.6 together. Thank you for sharing!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think that the only way for large companies to stay cool is to remain private.

In the games business, Valve is surprisingly OK. Also they're private and not interested in becoming part of a roll-up. I don't think those things are unrelated.

They also got that steam train they've been riding which makes it pretty easy to say they're not interested in being part of a roll-up.

I have such fond memories of Blizzard from back then. Such a shame at what they've become.

What have they become? I think most of the issues that have haunted them lately were related to people that worked on the games early on in their history and the culture that carried. I assume bad people can't hide there anymore with as much scrutiny that company has received. Or maybe your talking about the quality of games? I don't think Diablo Immortal is any indication of Diablo IV seeing as Diablo III is still releasing content without crazy monetization.

I look forward to Diablo IV personally. However I do feel that sense of nostalgia for the early Blizzard games. It's fun to see a post like this. Not sure the company is done with good content though. I still play their games a lot... I'm biased.

IMO the sense of wonder and the defined dark aesthetics of both the worlds created for Diablo 1 and 2 are something Blizzard will have to proove it can still pull off.
