If you can't afford this, you can't afford to eat

After a very extensive beta, Valve has finalized the release date for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive at August 21 -- just two months away.

Some fans have noted the game's success or failure will largely depend on its price point. Looks like there are no worries there: it's been set at a measly $15 for all platforms.

Weekly patches have especially recently been steadily improving the game, addressing issues like recoil patterns, and adding major features like 15v15 support and chickens.
