Even after Valve's grand attempt at rebadging their shiny golden egg. The game is still incredibly flawed. Yes, the new Source 2 engine is pretty and the performance is nice (except on the steam deck for some reason?), but technical problems from the game's source 1 days still shine through. Randomly, the game will still crash, even if moved to a different drive, reinstalled, and verified once more. It is unacceptable to ship software in this state, and punishing the users for it via their premier rank falling is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Valve, please fix your game, ffs. And let me refund for a F2P game I never willingly wanted to pay for.
