Valve has blood on their hands. Their update is causing real deaths in real life.

>>519648625 (OP)
Nothing of value is being lost.

i'm sorry i don't follow meme coins, what happened?

>>519648625 (OP)
What's the update?

CSGO2 skins lost their market value.

Imagine investing your whole life into continuing the efforts of digital gambling attached to fucking video games of all things.
Did these people not understand eventually it would crumble underneath them? They had all their eggs in 1 basket or something?

>>519648625 (OP)
The strategy probably worked brilliantly until it didn't.

Same thing can happen to crypto, by the by. Like how PayPal brief coined like a billion Bitcoins or whatever it was.

>>519648625 (OP)
Good

>>519648772
>>519648805
knife and glove drop rates increased by around 100% last I heard, think someone did the math. A lot of heavy CS2 investors went all-in on knives/gloves due to their rarity and many of them lost fortunes as prices tanked in last day. This change was essentially a buff to red skins(Ultra rare gun skins) value and a nerf to knives/gloves value

>>519648881
How? Why? When? Fucking zoomers man, fucking say what happened for fucks sake cryptic stupid bullshit what is your vax status zombie zoomer faggot?

How do you even convert that to real money?

Just because your retarded ass spent $1000 on a goddamn game cosmetic doesn't mean you lost money/value. You spent money like a retard on something with zero value.

Damn that’s crazy maybe people will actually play the game for the game now like every other shooter

>>519649278
But other retards believing in the item actually gives that item value, just like bitcoins

>>519649106
gloves should keep their value because the keys for opening glove boxes shot up in price 10x , so while you think this will mean more gloves its not really true because you will ahve to spend #glove boxes * (15$ box + 30$key) instead of #glove boxes * (30$ box + 3$ key)

Some people pay with PayPal or crypto.

You can't even use the money in the steam marketplace. It's not a bank account, it's not an investment account, you can't take $5000 out of it and direct deposit into your bank.

1000$ in the bank is just as imaginary as cs2 skins
no value is lost because there is no value to begin with, it's all just an idea, video game or real money, it's all nothing.
people killed themselves over nothing for decades by now

>>519649319
This. No one in their right mind thoudght this was anything but a casino.

>>519649386
Valve did two big changes recently, introducing terminal cases, non-gambling method, and trade-up to get gloves/knives easy. I think gloves will tank since people are posting their new glove trade-ups everywhere, all that stuff will be flooding the market as everyone wants to sell in case of a further crash

>>519649466
>>519649537
>>519649528
There are tons of 3rd party websites which handle direct trade>cash method, CSfloat being one of the bigger ones

>>519649377
The only value bitcoin ever had was for buying contraband. When you could get one for like 10 cents, it had more value than a bitcoin has now because you can't really use bitcoin anymore to safely buy guns and drugs.
Bitcoin was way more valuable in 2012 than it is now, without question. It's useless now.
The only three things you should ever invest in are land, precious metals, and commodities like lumber, oil, etc.

Good, fuck CSGO2. They forced that dogshit on us when we had a perfectly good, working product with CSGO. Ok sure, make your new version if you want but don’t force me to play it. I enjoyed CSGO for a reason, because it performed well. I don’t buy the excuse that “source did the same” - fuck off, goodwill and patience isn’t endless. So I sold all of my CSGO inventory for a very nice profit. I’m glad to see the CSGO2 market has shit the bed because it deserves it. They shit on CSGO.

The worst part is now the government is VERY aware of it. I think my brother is getting fucked by the IRS for crypto trading.

>>519648625 (OP)
can someone help me understand why you'd hold on to imaginary money like bitcoins and counter strike skins after all those times where it dramatically dropped value overnight? at which point do people accept that all these make money quick schemes are just that, schemes. At least with gambles there isn't someone regularly pulling the rug under your feet

I think CS2 has rigged RNG. I land shots that I shouldn't have gotten like a headshot across the map when my crosshair was nowhere near the enemy, yet somehow unloading an entire mag at someone's chest makes every bullet miss at point blank range.

There is some serious flaw in the hit registration or net code. A lot of desyncing too.

>>519648881
Hilarious

>>519648881
So I don’t get like the value of the skin went to $0? Or is it just flat out rape by bobo

>>519649693
CS2 has rare skins. They sold for a lot on black market trading sites. Thirdoids - mainly chinks and rusnigs - invested a lot of money to them, about 6 billion dollars in total. Valve recently adjusted things so that items that previously only came in (very rare) drops were now craftable, wiping out 2 billion dollars so far as thirdoids panicked realizing their digital items are not actually scarce.

>>519649206
No you stupid toothless fag. It was used for gray market international money transfers

>>519649757
People who wanted rare skins are willing to pay for them. Now that they are freely distributed by Valve they lost their value.

I thought I was your favorite jew father my god - AAAAAAAAAAAAACKKKKKKKKKKKKK

I dont own any high value skins. Some low value ones I got from drops or selling cases. I havnt played the game in a few years.

I dont care much and its kind of players fault if they gambled on skins or thought the value would be preserved long term. But why would valve do this from an economic perspective? Do they potentially make more money as new supply gets introduced and more trades happen, does it return the skins market maybe back down to reasonable prices?

>>519648625 (OP)
If you based your livelihood on digital internet weapon skins: You deserve the suicide.

>>519648805
Cosmetics in Counter Strike is literally an industry worth like a billion dollars or even more.
Steam doesn't allow you to resell for real cash, you can only trade or exchange for Steam cash, which only allows you to buy products on Steam.
To work around this, third party systems enabled the creation of marketplaces where people could list their items and exchange them for actual money.
The thing is that these services got extremely greedy and became gambling services where basically they are the ones buying and opening the loot boxes and then creating a secondary gatcha system where users can gamble their money or items in order to have a chance at most expensive ones.
Now, everyone who is familiar with how Valve doesn't fuck around when degenerates try to circumvent the rules, would know that they would eventually do something to destroy these services.
So they created a system where you can spend multiple items of one rarity to make it level up and get another item of higher quality.
This effectively made the extremely rare items to go from a very small chance to drop to be effectively 100% as long as you have enough items to spend to upgrade.
Which wiped out millions of dollars in overall market value.
Don't fuck with Valve, they are literally the only gaming company that doesn't give a single fuck about these kinds of things.

>>519650003
Yes, it's 'RPG' now.
Noobs get kills they shouldn't.

I've had hundreds of millions of dollars "worth" of BTC in my life. None of that would be useful to me nowadays. I just make my own drugs. Actually it's very rewarding to make your own drugs. I put the work in, using my skills to make the cleanest purest best dope I can, and when it comes time to use it, it feels so clean and great. Days of work in synthesis and purification to whip up 10-20g of beautiful, clean crystals. It's like growing my own food or any other constructive hobby.
So I guess it worked out for the best. I no longer fund some stranger I don't know who might be a complete psychopath. I'm not giving money to anyone in organized crime. It's very enjoyable to not have to worry about dealers, crime, cops, etc.

I do not miss any of that bitcoin. I have $70 of it left in my wallet. It was pocket change from the 2010s.

>>519651666
how did this person get 40 of them?

its really hard to imagine just how stupid you have to be to be invested in this kind of stuff.

according to valves TOS you literally dont even own these "assets", it doesn't matter how much you payed for them, they still belong to valve and its their right to do whatever they want with them.

secondly, valve can just press a button and delte the "scarcity" of these "assets" at a moments notice (you know, like they just did)

im surprised by how many people im seeing upset about this just because i would be genuinely too embarrassed to even anonymously admit i was stupid enough to buy into something like this


like, what even goes through your brain when you do something like that kek what is it like to be that low IQ? this is even worse than NFTs since at least you did technically own the NFT at least.

>>519651412
Lol just like on old mmo's. Some kike like yantis or bannon is making lots of money off of this shit.

>>519651802
you're talking about loser video game addicts who just hear stories of some guy selling skins for thousands and they try to do the same.

>>519651797
he probably traded other items for them early on, like maybe 2 rare awp for 1 knife, then the value kept going up with time.

>>519651309
Thanks for the QRD. Low-effort OPs are constantly starting threads that no one knows what they are talking about except fellow insiders who represent <5% of the board.

Some NFT images couldn't be displayed during the AWS autage because the IPFS server that the images were stored at used AWS.
Only NFTs whose entire data is stored on the blockchain is 100% owned by the wallet. The rest are just a TX verification and a bit of metadata.
And don't get me wrong, I'm confident that all digital assets that have some sort of inherent value and need verification systems will be stored on blockchain.
But many people are clueless about blockchain anyways.

>>519651833
I sold my old UO account back in the day for $500. I maxed out hide and stealth and would literally stand outside of people's houses waiting for them to recall and follow them in their door.

Correct you are. Why is a gold pile worth money then? Its not useful for construction, too soft.

Its worth money because the same reason anything else is. Someone is willing to pay for it. Yes videogames are big fucking money.

>>519648625 (OP)
Prime example of why crypto is a scam.

>>519652259
The market cap of BTC is over $2 trillion. Realistically, the true worth is zero, because they're not gold, silver, or any sort of physical asset whatsoever.

>>519652613
Gold is worth a pile of money because its a physically rare item, and its used in all kinds of tech. Your computer/phone/car all has bits of gold on all traces.

>>519649206
Wait until he finds out what the numbers in his saving account amount to.

>>519652767
says the one baring the flag of epstein island for muslims

So are these skins NFTs? Or can you just hack in the fucking things? Why can't you access and edit your save file with the appropriate hexadecimal values to make your stupid knife have the skin? Modern games are so shit. You used to be able to edit save files with things like a Dexdrive.

>>519653048
The information is stored on their servers. Theoretically you could change your skins to whatever you want, but nobody else could see them.

It's retarded.

>>519652919
>its used in all kinds of tech.
no it isn't. it used to be used in mobile phones for internal antennas. now it's just a few niche uses and shit like sunscreen for trains. maybe quantum computers will require a lot of it, but they're a meme anyway.

i feel like im the one lonely millennial that never liked CS all that much, i played 1.6 some and casual source servers a bit after that but there were always more complex shooters, more viscerally engaging shooters, just better games all around that have come and gone.

You should see how much gold is in the older machines. Those big old heavy bricks from the 80's and 90s, the contacts are huge. Those old CPU's probably have $40 in gold a piece.

>>519652625
Probably wasn't the amount but the realization that he wasted all this time trading virtual knives

>>519652896
I would say less than zero. The fact it takes energy to mine and the fact it's backed by nought tangibles makes it somehow of minus value. It's a net loss and soon people will realise this.

You'd think so, but look at shit like Tesla and the DOW as a whole. The market makes no god damned sense at all. The fundamentals of companies like Tesla put its valuation at less than $100 a share.

PC gamers are no longer the masterrace. That era stopped when PC games started consolizing, and consoles just became gimped PCs.
The whole thing went to shit with the PS4 era. Now it's all just a giant collection of trash and hollow shells of once great games. Expedition 33 did so great because nobody has made a decent JRPG game since Final Fantasy XII.

Also, I find it funny that people worship Gabe. This asshole can't make a functional replacement OS for PCs to break MS hold, but he can make a game where people buy and sell weapon skins like NFTs? Fuck you Gabe. You suck you fat greedy faggot.

I've always said investing in nothing is a loss. Because you've invested in the first place, wasting precious life. Colloquially speaking of course. The fact that GPD by capita has been declining steadily and the debt ceiling just keeps getting higher are signs enough, woke is a marketing trick to tank companies to get bought by BlackRock, a form of industrial sabotage except actually by members of government.

They are like NFTs, you don't own the actual archive of the skin, the archive is stored in valve's servers and the item in your inventory is a license.

NFTs at least have some built in scarcity at policy ID level. And the metadata is signed on the blockchain so it is immutable.
This is even worse than NFTs considering that they are retrieved through Valve servers and they can change the value, amount and functionality whenever they want.
Which is exactly what happened here.

There were items in counterstrike that were very rare and retards bought them for huge amounts of real money, as 'investments'.

Bart: Do it, Dad.
Homer: Well, OK, if it's fun... let's see, uh...I'll take $1100 worth. (gets the money and he walks in and sees all the signs that show places prohibiting Itchy and Scratchy Money) Awwwww!

Marge: This year I want us to do things together as a family, and get a lot of good exercise outdoors so we'll have a lot of wonderful memories of our vacation.
Bart: Don't worry Mom, we'll make you proud of us. (Homer packs a suitcase and lists off the items)
