His comments quickly drew criticism from players who believe the situation is getting worse and want to see real results. Gabe Follower also pointed to the possible return of Overwatch and recent VAC ban waves as signs that Valve is still testing new solutions.<\/p>\n<h3>Community accuses Gabe Follower of giving Valve too much time<\/h3>\n<p>One of the strongest responses came from <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/x4r1ncs\/status\/2085672064770253145?s=20\">x4r1ncs<\/a>. He accused Gabe Follower of repeating the same argument for too long while cheating continues to hurt CS2.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>You\u2019ve been saying this shit for so long now and cheating is worse than ever.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>The user also mocked the idea that players should wait for Valve. In his view, claims about anti-cheat improvements happening behind the scenes are no longer enough.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/gabefollower\/status\/2085804714143240430?s=20\">Gabe Follower<\/a> responded with a lengthy clarification. He rejected the suggestion that he is trying to \u201cprotect\u201d Valve. He admitted that he might be somewhat biased. At the same time, he stressed that he has repeatedly criticized the state of CS2\u2019s anti-cheat.<\/p>\n<p>According to Gabe Follower, cheaters have always existed and probably always will. Still, he does not believe players should simply accept the current situation. Instead, he encouraged unhappy users to \u201cvote with your actions.\u201d They can play other games rather than allowing CS2\u2019s problems to ruin their experience.<\/p>\n<p>He also denied telling the community to simply give Valve more time. Gabe Follower said improvements \u201cmight take more time\u201d because Valve\u2019s development process is unpredictable. He did not mean that players should wait indefinitely.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <article class=\"club-hover-connect-parent\">\n    <div class=\"club-top-line\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"club-row club-gutter-none\">\n                    <div class=\"club-col-4 club-col-6-xs\">\n                <figure class=\"picture-16x9 picture-with-gradient\">\n                    <a class=\"club-hover-connect club-hover-connect-img\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/bc-game-liquid-heroic-ewc-2026-qualifier-day-one\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n                        <img src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/55172321719_875880fb79_h-2-1-1.webp\" alt=\"BC.Game, Liquid and HEROIC impress on opening day of EWC 2026 qualifier\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/figure>\n            <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"club-col-8 club-col-6-xs club-box-bg--gradient\">\n            <div class=\"club-box-def club-full-height\">\n                <div class=\"club-dynamic-dotted-wrap club-full-height\">\n                    <h3 class=\"club-h4-title\">\n                        <a class=\"club-link-primary club-hover-connect club-dynamic-dotted__text\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/bc-game-liquid-heroic-ewc-2026-qualifier-day-one\">\n                            BC.Game, Liquid and HEROIC impress on opening day of EWC 2026 qualifier                        <\/a>\n                    <\/h3>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"club-bottom-line\"><\/div>\n<\/article>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>x4r1ncs says the scale of cheating is no longer acceptable<\/h3>\n<p>The response did not end the argument. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/x4r1ncs\/status\/2085814931085988211?s=20\">x4r1ncs<\/a> agreed that competitive games will always have cheaters. However, he believes the scale of the problem makes the current CS2 situation different.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>There will always be cheaters but NOT TO THIS EXTENT.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>He specifically pointed to Premier mode. According to x4r1ncs, cheaters heavily affect matches at extremely high ratings. He argued that basic anti-cheat features should not require years of development. This is especially important for one of the world\u2019s biggest competitive FPS games.<\/p>\n<p>The criticism also went beyond Gabe Follower. Several users argued that Valve has neglected CS2 and its community. Others criticized content creators for discussing possible anti-cheat improvements when players still see few results in the game.<\/p>\n<p>One player summarized the frustration:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>We are tired of optimism. We want results.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>Another user said CS2 still \u201cfeels way worse than CS:GO.\u201d Others questioned why obvious rage cheaters and automated accounts can remain active for long periods.<\/p>\n<h3>Other players defend Gabe Follower<\/h3>\n<p>However, not everyone agreed with the criticism. Several users defended Gabe Follower and argued that others had misrepresented his comments.<\/p>\n<p>Some noted that reporting on Valve\u2019s experiments does not mean defending the company. It also does not mean asking the community to tolerate cheating. Meanwhile, other users criticized the hostile reaction to positive or neutral discussions about CS2.<\/p>\n<p>One response suggested that some viewers only focus on video titles and thumbnails. As a result, they may ignore Gabe Follower\u2019s actual arguments. Another commenter described him as one of the few creators who still appears to trust Valve\u2019s long-term plans.<\/p>\n<p>The debate eventually grew beyond the anti-cheat itself. It also raised questions about how creators should cover Valve\u2019s development process and how the community reacts to such reports.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <article class=\"club-hover-connect-parent\">\n    <div class=\"club-top-line\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"club-row club-gutter-none\">\n                    <div class=\"club-col-4 club-col-6-xs\">\n                <figure class=\"picture-16x9 picture-with-gradient\">\n                    <a class=\"club-hover-connect club-hover-connect-img\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/jl-navi-exit-own-decision-reasons-private\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n                        <img src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/55172321719_875880fb79_h-2-6.webp\" alt=\"jL opens up about NAVI exit: \u201cIt was my own decision\u201d\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/figure>\n            <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"club-col-8 club-col-6-xs club-box-bg--gradient\">\n            <div class=\"club-box-def club-full-height\">\n                <div class=\"club-dynamic-dotted-wrap club-full-height\">\n                    <h3 class=\"club-h4-title\">\n                        <a class=\"club-link-primary club-hover-connect club-dynamic-dotted__text\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/jl-navi-exit-own-decision-reasons-private\">\n                            jL opens up about NAVI exit: \u201cIt was my own decision\u201d                        <\/a>\n                    <\/h3>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"club-bottom-line\"><\/div>\n<\/article>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>CS2\u2019s anti-cheat remains a major community concern<\/h3>\n<p>The exchange shows how little patience remains among parts of the CS2 community. Anti-cheat changes, VAC waves and systems such as Overwatch continue to attract attention. However, many players now judge Valve\u2019s progress by their own experiences in Premier and matchmaking.<\/p>\n<p>Gabe Follower believes Valve continues to test different solutions behind the scenes. At the same time, there is no clear timeline for visible improvements. His critics are no longer satisfied with waiting.
