Well, Valve has achieved it based on a lot of effort and updates from a certain Counter Strike. Do you know him?

Counter Strike was released for the first time in 2005, that is, practically two decades ago, and since then it has been a multiplayer phenomenon with that concept being practically unknown and few were the releases that dared to focus its development almost 100%. % online. It is because of that success, and to celebrate that very soon we will have in our hands Counter Strike Global Offensive 2 that we have decided to create this top that tells us how much each delivery has sold and what position it occupies within the ranking.
