Bad example because CSGO has been sitting at #2/#3 on steam's active player charts for years and years. Consistently ~10x the player count of, say, Rainbow Six Siege. Continuing to invest resources into a game with CSGO's player count is just all around solid business strategy, particularly since it has ~500k concurrent users at any given point. Active player count would be way, way over 1Mil.
TF2 would be a better example, but I don't know how much (if anything?) Valve is still doing with the small TF2 community. It still has a respectable 50k concurrent user population, but has Valve been ignoring them? Are there still updates for it?
