boy I sure hope this doesn't happen to any other overpriced imaginary assets

idk what this is even about lol

It's about CSGO and virtual items.

I always mocked my friends who thought their pixel items had real value, I was correct again

I hope Wizzards of the Coast, does the same thing to Pokemon Cards that they did to MTG.

I mean isn't fiat currency also subject to the same flaw?

Chuds will probably have to get used to getting their asset bubbles popped soon in all sorts of things so gaben is just doing them a favor

>>519652801 (OP)
To be fair thats exactly the kind of shit that incentivizes botting/cheating. Still kinda of a dick move to those who actually invested money into it but its not like the game is made for that purpose to begin with lol.

>>519653188
It clearly says “Counter Strike 2” not CSGO. I’m not sure why you’re just making up shit. A multi billion dollar company is not going to go through all the trouble to create an entirely new game, new ELUA, new copyright management, ect if it was still the same identical product. Try again, or maybe you’re so fucking retarded/old you don’t even know which game is which lmao

>>519654478
apparently there were people buying these as investment and not because they really liked them, sad

>>519653723
there is no advantage gained from having skins. the only thing that is happening is botting. people will have thousands of bot accounts 'playing' all day to get a weekly drop, typically a case and a skin.

>>519654019
How do? People could buy something real with their money, or they trade that money for something fake. The person who sold the fake thing then buys something real... or another fake thing. Either way the net effect is zero. Consumption of real goods stays the same.
It's certainly harmful for the individuals that get sucked into it, but society wide it's pretty much irrelevant.
The cause of the problems is excessive money printing. Asset inflation is just a symptom.

>>519655535
No it's like items that there only exists a certain amount of like runescape party hats that were given away years ago but people buy them because prestige or some shit. But now they flooded the market so anyone who bought them for ripped off. I'm not really sure, I haven't gaymed in years and never played counterstrike

NO CRYING IN THE CASINO!

>>519653437
this was a supply shock to a scarce item so no

>>519655535
There were items in counterstrike that were very rare and retards bought them for huge amounts of real money, as 'investments'. The other day, Valve changed the game so that players can trade in common game items for the rare ones, making them worthless and making bag holders out of all the retard 'investors'

>>519657891
90% of those retards were Chinese. They took them as ACTUAL investment's. Look into it.

I used to play a lot of CS:Go like 8 years ago, I had a ton of lootboxes that were all worth like 0.03 cents, I checked today and they are all worth at least 7 bucks some like 25 bucks, I didn't look at all of them though but everyone I clicked on was worth way more than 3 cents. Whats up with that?

>>519658016
it's countries like china that have massive capital control that cause this sort of thing.

why did so many people pump so much money into this without having this thought?
am I going insane lmao

>>519654131
1/11th of an oz of silver is historically the going rate for a whore before they had extracted all easily exploitable resources and using it to build power generation and every modern missile and military battery. Posts like yours always reek of desperation that makes me want to buy silver.

>>519654131
the the Gold and Silver I bought has over 4x in price over the past 10 years. You are just butthurt.

Good. That’s what you get for shitting all over CSGO and fucking up the playability of CS.

>>519653348
They do, just not on GAY zoomer slop like CSGo2. I sold my skins on Csgo for tons of money since they forced that game to go defunct. But the players still obviously wanted the skins. They always held value because it was an established game with a lot of playability. None of this modern rig bullshit.

>>519654523
Not at all bitch boy

>>519658347
That’s what I did. Except I had a decent collection of skins too. I sold them for something like 800 dollars. All I ever used to do was grab a loot box on payday a few times for fun.

>>519653975

what an ironic symbol
hoarding gold is jewish behaviour

>>519660103
Well a lot of money was spent and the market was legendary in its insanity. Honestly this seems like a possible ritual and front running of an actual crash of comparably speculative assets in a phase of mania. How else could one disclose to the masses in the custom of a certain God that they intended to similarly rugpull others, that the music would stop for something far more consequential?

>>519653133
I don't know either. I'm guessing CS has rare items that in high demand and people can sell these digital items for real money.

>>519660726

I never opened any because I'm completely opposed to paying money beyond the base cost of the game, but if i spent $7 on steam it looks like I'll be able to access the marketplace and sell all these cases... then maybe I'll get a steamdeck with the proceeds or something

On the computer game, the company lets you use fancy pixel skins to look cooler. The company lets you trade those fancy pixel skins to other people. This allowed a black market of sorts to form where people would pay """real""" money for pixel skins (because all fiat is fake and gay just less fake and gay than fancy pixel skins)

Browns and other subhumans liked to use these fancy pixel skins as a vehicle for speculation. Buy low, sell high, make money. Except in the world of speculation, especially when the thing you're speculating over is literally just a bunch of fancy pixel skins subject entirely to the whims of the parent company who doesn't care about the retards buying and selling them for thousands of dollars, this is basically little more than gambling.

The parent company made some changes that make it easier to get the fancy pixel skins, devaluing the limited supply of them due to simple economic laws of supply and demand. Make something more common, it is intrinsically worth less, simple as.

The gamblers lost bigly.

>>519656792
Ask Beany Baby investors how that went.

The funniest was my ex-wife buying those stupid beanie babies in the early 2010's. Glad I bought bitcoin.

The dumb bitch has a collection of labubu's and those stupid bobblehead things and think those are gonna let her retire.

Old people thought the same thing about those ugly ass Hummel figures too. Now you cant even give them away. You should have bought Bitcoin, Gold and Silver.

>>519662332
It's a situation even more stupid than the tulip crash because at least there wasn't a singular company out there that would wave a wand and 5x the number of tulip seeds in circulation. But yes, browns and retards literally invested in an asset that could be duplicated without warning by the parent company.

Then they duplicated them and the browns got duped.

>implying there will be any jews left to buy it back

>>519661532
Ok, I do understand the gist of it, I still won't ever understand why people would pay "actual" money for shit like this though, it's completely beyond me

>>519660125
Nta but wouldnt it be easy for someone with guns and ammo to ambush you, commit a h8 crime by killing you for being Indian and then steal all your belongings?

What I don't understand is why steam would want to tank the value of items

Now I haven't used the steam marketplace in a decades when I did I would sell my loot crates for 0.03 and of that 3 cents I got to keep 1c and valve pocketed the other two

So for every sale valve was pocketing some of the money

Or are they actually just trading the items to each other for "free" and doing the actual monetary exchange somewhere else?

Should have bought Pokemon cards. The only way older cards lose value is if Creatures does reprints and each pack is nothing but full arts. But even then, the older ones will still be distinct.

>>519654219
More gookocaust to be honest

>>519658347
they go out of circulation or their drop rates are reduced in favor of new cases and collections. one of the most expensive collections was a collection from an operation, can't remember which one, but it's the norse collection and even shit skins from that collection are worth ten or more dollars. I guess I should say 'were worth'.

>>519652801 (OP)
based, fuck dumbass nigger faggot gaymers

>>519663669
I'm going to buy dwarf fortress tomorrow so I can sell all the cases before they go back to 3 cents each kek

>>519663828
they probably won't, but it's not a terrible idea to cash out. In reality they might go up in value, but valve could just make them disappear next update and say no more cases or turn them all into the shitty new terminal.

>>519653133
So basically in 2017 Bitcoin was BIG among millennials and then it CRASHED, ruining the lives of many 30~yo boomer millionaires.

Fast forward 8 years to 2025, gen z is too late to get in early on bitcoin. But look- CSGO skins have exploded in value! Zoomers brag about having 800,000 dollars in rare stickers and that they're HODLing until they have 8 million dollars. Basically Skins became to zoomers in 2025 what Crypto was for millennials in 2017.

Then valve comes in and crashes it.

Incidentally both Bitcoin and the Skins market were pumped by Chinese people.

>>519663309
If the Armory update last year is any indication, Valve has no idea how the skins economy in Counterstrike actually worked. And this time, instead of making a bunch of skins that just didn't become all that valuable, they destroyed the value of the pre-existing skins. They didn't mean to blow off both of their feet; but they did anyway.

>>519657693
When you think about it, we are really lucky that fiat currency cant experience a supply shock.

>>519652801 (OP)
Oh no, the trannies who make money with this piece of shit game have yet another reason to neck themselves. We can't let that happen.

>>519664108
I think on the low end i have around $700 worth of cases plus other accounts I haven't logged into in forever with god knows how many cases on them I'll just cash them out ASAP and get a free steam deck since my computer is too old to play any modern games anyway, that's kind of a nice reward for just not paying attention to a game I used go play a lot in college

Everyone should have access to every skin for free. It is a fucking game, the only place where communism should be implemented, where it could work. Holy shit. Fuck this gay market shit. Drop you motherfuckers off in Ukraine so you can eat shit and shit

>>519665531
You can just change your own models to whatever skin you want just other people can't see them, go be a whiney commie somewhere else

>>519664692
congrats.

>>519664349
I still think the crash is an overreaction. reds are ~2.5 times more common than knives, so if each case nets a slightly higher knife rate of what, 1.5 times the old value which is 0.39% and up from 0.26% (due to enhanced rate from trade ups) you'd see maybe a few percentage points of drop, not this 50% freakout. There will be a glut of new knives hitting the market right now, but so long as the playerbase doesn't decrease and the real economy stays somewhat healthy, the market will bounce back slowly. shit knives will fall off hard and probably never recover, but things like gems and butterfly knives will very likely come back, and reds will be worth substantially more money, likely leading to a higher expected return from case openings. But who really knows.

That sucks I really liked comp play in CS:GO but when they made it free to play or whatever I thought it was fucked that could ever happen, at the least if you were going to cheat you should risk $25 bucks or whatever to have to buy a new game on a new account to discourage that shit
