Why I believe that Valve will not add 128 tick servers

Alright, so with one of TheWarOwl's latest videos CS:GO matchmaking needs to expand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OJzDWJFMQ0 he once again talks about how there should be a separate matchmaking system that runs on 128 tick servers. This isn't the first time that this subject has been brought up, I understand that there are many other videos on the subject and TheWarOwl is a very big supporter of this along with numerous other people that would even pay a monthly subscription to be able to play on the 128 tick servers.

However, I believe that valve will not do this, at least not have you pay to do so (which would bring up other issues Ill bring up later). The biggest reason that Valve will most likely not do this is that it completely goes against there philosophy of game making. Think about it, when have you EVER had to buy an addon for a Valve made game, in order to have a better experience then you would have had originally? This is one of the beautiful things about valve made games, when you buy the game you get everything in the game any money that you spend afterwards on it in no way makes you better then people that have not bought it. Even in TF2 there was always penalties to weapons that we not stock so that you could counter the small boost that they had by playing right.

After 15 years of this I don't think that Valve will want to break its values and make its community pay for a better experience and if they do I will be quite disappointed.

Now lets say that they somehow just when ahead and made a separate, team/clan based system where they got to go ahead and play on 128 tick servers during a team match for free. If Valve went ahead and did something like that then it would kill the organizations like FaceIT and CEVO who I would dare to say are a large reason why the Counter Strike community has gotten so big (with regular twitch matches) that I seriously doubt that valve would like to stab them in the back and steal a large part of there community.

So to everyone who wants 128 ticks please don't force valve to do something they don't want to and give your money to Cevo/FaceIT instead. TL;DR - Valve wont add pay to play 128 tick servers for moral reasons.

Yes the company that gave us 3 of the best games of all time is lazy. Makes total sense
