Are tile-based video games still popular? I mean, is anyone still playing them? I cannot even remember the last time I played a 2D game. I consider those games to be from ancient times. They might make you nostalgic about the good old time, but nothing more. Nowadays, games like Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, Assassinā€™s Creed, and GTA V have set an excellent standard for the newer games. I also used to be an old thug playing older games until I met Counter-Strike Global Offensive. I got addicted to this game, and since then, I have been trading skins on the best CS:GO skin trading platform daily. As soon as you start doing that, you understand how much money you can earn out of that.
