Did the author do no research into the competition/precursors before going down this path?
Did they lie to make it seem more impressive?
Whatever the case, it’s odd.
I have to assume that what you mean by this is "for millions of people, Valorant will have been their first and only FPS."
That may well be true! The knee-jerk response you're getting from others is because your statement sounds like you're saying "no other FPS game has ever had a million+ players."
DOOM rears its head up from 32 years ago and says "People still make mods for me."
I wonder if pay to win elements reduce the number of cheaters? Some of these CS clones have equipments you can buy in the lobby that offer smaller hitboxes, higher health, better gun etc. Would that offer enough convenience/highs for these people to not stoop to hacking?
Games are really magic, especially on bespoke engines, not slapping Unreal on some assets but making something like God of War 2 or FFXII run on PS2. Or yes online games.
(yes i know valo in unreal but very custom)
