It is what draws new players in and what keeps the old ones around.to a large extent yes but the playerbase of cs (into cs:s and source and all its mods and mods of those mods) and wc3 (including and especially wc3dota) exploded to stay and linger for and because of custom games
sure everyone loves the competition but if you ask those guys of their fondest memories of the early times, plenty will say customs as will plenty here
also dota2 customs with source 2 i am HYPED AS FUCK DUDE
edit: actually ill add on to this; competitive tf2 is on its last legs trying to survive while the majority of players only play one map 24/7 and join trading and furry communities. did you know tf2 has a large furry minority?
