Thread 723977692

Out of nowhere, completely unannounced, Valve dropped an update that completely changed CS2's economy and people are killing themselves en masse over this.

So basically CS2 is an hero shooter now

>>723977692 (OP)
Maybe these people should be fighting to fix their country instead of fighting over vertexes with coloring on them

>>723977716
KEK
FIPPY BIPPY

I hope a lot of them actually kill themselves, the world would be a better place without these wastes of spaces.

>>723978027
Basically out of nowhere they released an update that lets you convert red items (which used to be worthless and mostly held by casual players) into knives and gloves (the most valuable items in the game with some being worth over 1m dollars, owned exclusively by whales and traders)

Ah yes my bad I should have went all in on crypto I forgot /biz/ is a board full of millionaires.

>>723979235
Why? Won't those red skins become as valuable as knives proportionally?

I’ve been a loyal player of counter strike since source. I played global offensive religiously, and have traded over $4,000 worth of skins in my time. I currently own a stattrak talon doppler phase 2 with a blue laminate AK that has iBP 2014 sticker (non holo).
As soon as I heard this news (an hour ago) I realised what it meant, and went to sell my skins. Unfortunately ALL of the trading websites are down at the moment, so I can’t even cash my shit out.

I know it was stupid of me to keep such a large chunk of cash in game skins but I did not think valve would pull this on users out of nowhere. As SOON as I can I am cashing out my knife and selling my AK to someone. My knife has gone from $2600 yesterday to being valued at $900 today.
This is fucked

>>723977692 (OP)
>and people are killing themselves en masse over this
they are not you retard

lmaoooo imagine investing into something like this unironically

>>723979235
People are cashing out. Red skins were mostly held by casuals who are now absorbing the wealth of traders. This is making traders frustrated and they are quitting trading altogether.

>>723977692 (OP)
Who would guess that Valve would start the Great cleanse?

>>723977716
Fuck off faggot stop stealing jokes from Mexicans

Really? Doing this out of nowhere is the most Valve thing ever

>cs2 skin market crash
Lot's of Russians will be throwing themselves out of windows then

this isn't quite as dumb as crypto because there are people actually buying stuff to have it, but it's pretty close

>>723978167
>hmm there's an awfully lot of demand for knives, maybe we should make them easier for players to get so they don't have to spend $1,000
How does Gabe manage to be so based?

why would anybody pay money for game items? seems dumb to me.

In hindsight I am fairly lucky.
I got the knife for $1200 in 2019 and then it rose to $2500, i knew I should’ve sold it a few months ago.
Most of the skins i used to own i sold, my gloves I sold while they were still expensive. The AK i was very lucky to get for almost free. If anything I will potentially hold onto the AK just because.
But the knife I am going to lose massively on unless I can sell it quickly. I want that gone asap

wtf I love that fat fuck Gabe now

>>723978426
Actually it's my second week

>>723979404
basically, from what I understand, valve made it so that you can exchange 5 covert (basically the highest "rarity" for items) things for a covert knife, making the "original" knifes before that worth way less but made misc covert items shoot to the moon
something something supply and demand caused the market to get nuked

>>723979382
Counter strike has cosmetic items. Knives and gloves are absurdly priced, like $1,000 minimum.

Valve updated it so you can combine items to get rarer ones, instead of having to unlock them. A lot like crafting in team fortress 2. This crashed the value of knives and gloves, many people who used them as a savings account.

>>723979537
>Red skins were mostly held by casuals
Gabe always thinking about the working class, fuck paypiggies

The knife is still hovering around 900-1500, so I’ll dump it as soon as i can for Bitcoin. Because i know it’s going to go down further, and even if it doesn’t, i don’t trust Gabe after this
I would rather buy gold or silver or something that can’t be “updated”

>>723978925
thanks

>>723978501
it is based. only thirdies are upset about it because they dumped their life savings into a speculative vidya skins market

did these people even loose that much money?

>>723979624
All eastern europe it's so bleak.
I don't expect amerifats to understand though.

This was a complete dog act by Gabe
Updating CSGO to CS2 was in itself a retarded decision that almost fucked the game but this latest update will 100000% be the nail in the coffin
He just took any hope of the game surviving and nailed it so deep into the ground
Counter strike is *officially* dead from this moment on. any person with a brain left will move to Valorant right now and never invest money into skins ever again
Fuck gabe, fuck counter strike, and fuck gun skins

>>723979864

hello saar

This is actually making me want to reinstall and play the game again for the first time in years. Maybe I can finally get a cool knife

>>723977692 (OP)
But they didn't delete any knives from existence, did they? Everybody still has what they paid for. Why the drama?

>>723979904
I just lost 2k in a day
Some other people have lost like 50 grand
One guy on my friends list lost 100 grand worth of knives

People are going to kill themselves over this. Im lucky i only lost 2 grand

They just massively pumped up the supply and now all prices are crashing
Like 80% crashes in six hours. It’s that bad
people lost thousands last night, millions even.

>>723980070
Imagine investing 100 grand in in game items in a videogame. I didn't know people could be that retarded. I thought buying wow gold was as dumb as it gets.

>>723979904
No. Because it was never real to begin with. Speculative trading is always a fool's trap, but doubly so with virtual items that don't exist.

>>723979981
You mean insurgency sandstorm

>>723977692 (OP)
having items be worth real world money was kind of stupid for this exact reason
there's nothing stopping devs from rugpulling you in your sleep
valve is also pretty stupid for enabling these gambling autists and it'll probably come back to bite them in the ass since at least one of them will probably want revenge

>>723980163
Yeah i cant liquidate shit right now
I just tried like 20 different sites and they’ve all disabled trading “due to steam updates”

I want off the boat NOW gabe
Right now

now post it on your twitter you actual fucking shitskin thief

yeah' it's a lot. but i never got people killing themselves for loosing money on speculation, it's a risk you took and some people are poor, why cant you be one of them?

>>723980203
Nah bro theres rich Chinese who will spend $40,000 on knives as a way to hide their net worth
Valve just took all of their most loyal user base and kicked them all in the balls
People will legitimately suicide over this man

>>723980347
I took the risk and im not mad about it personally, I will sell my remaining nfts for what i can and never trust valve again. They just lost a lot of loyal users lmao
But i can’t speak for what other people will do, there are other people who took out loans to buy skins and shit

>>723978473
>Did he use..... his cellphone?
this is an incredibly common samefagging tactic, yes

>>723980070
It's a skin in a game, that shit was never 'worth' anything, bro. You bought a skin, you had some fun with it but in the end it never had any value

Wait, what happened? I had some ancient boxes worth like 700 bucks that I wanted to trade in for a deck 2 at some point.

>>723980001
HOLY newfag

>>723980370
>People will legitimately suicide over this man
good. "people" who put all their eggs into a speculative vidya skins market should all kill themselves. they are beyond retarded

>>723980335
Kek true

>>723980483
Well. It’s still “worth” 900-1200’ish in crypto. But yes youre right.
in the coming weeks itll tank to 200

So i want to sell it right the fuck now but all the websites are down

>>723980070
Nobody lost that much. You had items that were speculated to be worth that much, but you weren't selling them anyway and certainly nobody was actually buying for those prices. You may have spent hundreds on cases and keys over the years to try to get all those skins, but in practice you never had that much money to begin with and have also not lost it today.

>>723980305
>steam destroying shitskin asset value
wtf i love valve now

>>723980494
They will be worth like 2k in a month

crypto next, please :)

Financial speculators and money laundering thirdies you mean.
They certainly didn't lose any customers.

>>723980567
I have never bought a single case, I used to trade high value items only.
The shit I have you can’t really get from cases.

I did have that money to begin with because I used it to buy the skins that I used to trade

>>723980630
Can you explain why? I really don't know shit about this whole skin trading shit. I just got the boxes early around csgo release and never touched them. I just check every other year and see that they went up in value.

>>723980483
Exactly. These people trying to list knife skins for thousands were always just coping and not taking into account that nobody was buying for those prices. It is and always was a buyer's market. Valve simply gave these people a reality check in order to finally clear out millions of skin listings on the community market that haven't moved in years. Third worlders really thought this shit was portfolio trading.

>>723978167
Lmao those items have their prices artifically jacked up by traders and bots. Get fucked scalpers. Gaben is absolutely based.

Sad to see. I have spent money on some questionable stuff, but I never really understood this whole economy. My friend tried explaining how people used to sell items in Diablo (or maybe their accts) and even then it was astonishing.

Sometimes whenever I feel bad about spending upwards of 150 bucks on fetish commissions, I think of these kinds of "people" and realize, I could be doing much much worse with it. At least with art you get something personalized and non-speculative out of it.

>>723980567
I will probably get around 1k for my knife in Bitcoin and if I’m lucky ill keep the AK and that will rise, since the stickers on that cant be traded up for
The thing that bothers me is that I could’ve sold the knife last week for 2500. But oh well

>>723977716
>an hero is now newfag bait
or maybe I'm getting reverse-baited

Neeeeeee noooooor neeeeeeee noooooor

>>723979679
They did this so more transactions will go through Steams marketplace that has $2k listing cap and many items cost more. With this move reds skyrocket in price and golds go down but not to a point of complete crash or reds going for over $2k. People now will do more transactions through Steam instead of trading through 3rd party sites so Valve gets cut now. This move isnt based its insanely kosher actually, okay maybe a bit it is since it smoked retarded pixel le investors collectors lmao.

Nobody will ever be able to “trade up” for this because it was from an event

So as long as I dump my knife im good

>>723977692 (OP)
isnt the money from csgo market forever stuck in your steam wallet? so what's the point?

>>723980990
Nah people trade skins outside of steam for Bitcoin
Thats why valve is mad and did this

>>723980990
There are many sites where you can cash out anon. Crypto,paypal or even direct payment to your bank account whatever you chose. Site gets some % obviously but its not bad at all.

Fuck im mad at gabe
FUCK

FUCKING HELL GABE NEWELL WHY THE FUCK DID YOU LET EVERYONE TRADE UP FOR FREE KNIVES

>>723980673
No. They wiped a pretend 2 billion off of a pretend market cap. It never existed, there was no actual market value for these things. You have to have buyers. This is no different than someone trying to sell a busted 20 old car on Facebook marketplace asking $5000+ and saying "No low offers, I know what I have". For an item's value to be real, it has to have people willing to pay that price for it. These skins never actually did. It was just gamblers all hyping each other up over rarity and forgetting that a digital item can't actually be scarce.

>>723981065
Valve is based for causing this much seething over skins..

I don't have any money to start trading.

>>723981172
You’re an idiot, there’s dozens of websites with bots that automatically buy your items. It’s an instant, automated process.
You can instantly cash your shit out for crypto. I could instantly sell my knife for 1k to a trading bot right now if the websites weren’t undergoing maintenance.

>>723977716
fuck off copycat, come up with your own jokes

If you kill yourself over CS skins, it's probably just natural selection at work

>>723981525

You go on a third party website and sell your skins to a trading bot right
Thats how it works

>>723980278
I HAVE a job but you should double check salaries here they're all dogshit.
A lot of guys in my generation are trying to get ahead financially but the only ways to do it are to try and sneak into these schemes like with CS2 or other commodity shits.

>>723981172
There are tons of sites that let you cash out skins what do you mean? Funny thing is this will only hurt wannabe investors that were storing wealth in them, it will do nothing for cashing out skins themselves, in fact it would be more convenient with reds being 30-60, it allows for more incremental cashing out.

Crypto itself (BTC, XMR, LTC) can be used to buy things though and XMR has a privacy usecase outside of all other coins.
CS skins are worthless the moment CS goes offline or an update kills the market (like this one)

Was never real. You got duped.

>>723981172
it was speculative value but so are stocks. the prices were at the level they were because anything cheaper was bought. it's no more or less real than nvidia's 4 trillion. i know you have a hate boner for it because the pricing kept you from getting your low IQ skin fix but there's nothing exceptionally "pretend" about this market.

>>723979498
Dude, do you even know how market works?
What does
> I did not think valve would pull this on users out of nowhere
even mean? If they told you about this in a blog post the prices would tank exactly as they have now because people would react accordingly

>>723977692 (OP)
lol

>>723981710
and I would never put all of my money into the stock market either. I treat the stock market like a casino. everything I put in, I expect to lose. never invest more than you can stand to lose

>>723981846
No. Valve takes like a 15% cut and you cannot cash out your money like on trading sites.

>>723981839
i get those can be used but 99% of the other ones people are purely buying just to sell to some other retard who is just also looking to sell it

>>723979139
why the fuck do they buy so much of this shit? just buy one that you are going to use

>>723981846
You can’t sell skins for real money on steams marketplace
You can only sell it for steam credits

Thats why people sell it outside of steam and thats why valve is angry lol
Because people were selling skins for crypto and bank deposits and venom and shit

>>723981931
No wonder valve fucked you over. Your own fault for using trade bot. If I was valve I would have destroyed the economy decades ago.

reposting from another thread because I thought it was funny

Crazy to think that outside of America, you could spend the rest of your life comfortably with just $300. Men fight and die every day, suffer in the salty quartz mines, for less than $1 a day.

why is it always the aquafag that ruins everything

>>723982057
Didn't scam me, because I wasn't an idiot who mistakenly thought video game skins had real value. And the funniest part is you haven't learned your lesson at all because you still insist your items had monetary value lmao.

It's thirdworlders

>>723982242

They just won’t have as much value as they had last week thats all. Expensive lesson I guess

You don't get it, Gabe needed to buy his 9th megaboat

>>723982403
The actual value of the skins come from what people place on them, not on what Valve says it is. They have avoided class actions for years since they say that they only support the Steam Market which is only tied to Steam and various court decisions have ruled that skins have no real world value.

Ironic how the jeets and chinks are calling anyone scammers. Something something kettle, black pot yada yada.

If they were stupid enough to put so much investment into video game skins, were their lives really worth anything to begin with?

>>723982542
They already weren't. All the trading happened off site. If anything, this will get more people trading on the Steam market because now they can actually afford the cool skins

Gabe is a real nigga. Tim Cuckney wouldn't be able to make niggas kill themselves over videogames.

what does Valve gain from this besides quite literally killing off a majority of their audience?

My inventory just went from $3000 to like 40k.
My investments were all tradeups for red skins. Now that all reds went up, so did the lower tier.
Feels good to be a retard.

I lost my $5,000 CS:GO inventory way back in 2021 to a paypal scam on a bad night, personally I am almost happy to see all these people finally getting their hard lesson for engaging in a fake crypto-currency economy centered around gambling and artificial scarcity for a bunch of textures.

Then again, the old tradejew within me also regrets not making a few more cheeky investments before cashing out.

No not that big. It was extra insurance for retirement. Did not plan on living off of it but it was supposed to be a nice buffer zone.

How do these guys who "invest" in items on Steam get their money back later?
All they have is a Steam account full of credit to be used on Steam... WTF?
Why would anyone buy a Steam account instead of just opening one for free and putting the equivalent credit on it?

man a lot of my shit guns are now 5 dollars but i dont use the mobile authenticator so i cant list them

Is not. Youre a retard

They don't. At best, they'd organize trades on third party sites for crypto. So essentially exchanging Gabe's monopoly money for something even less valuable and usable lmao. But you're expecting literal shitskin Indians, Mexicans, Brazilians, Chinese, and Russians to understand a complex concept that Steam isn't their bank and CSGO isn't Wall Street lmao

Funny, since that's exactly what these skin gambling mongoloids all thought they were doing to begin with.

>>723982724
This is exactly why they did it. Driving more people to use their market instead of some third party website is in their best interest to make more money.

>>723984090
there are dozens of reputable websites that easily let you cash out to crypto lil bro

>these are the same people who think crypto would work
>even government owned crypto
L M A O

Did the people not learn their lesson from when TF2 did funky shit with hats lol. why trust this closed system when valve can randomly say you can buy a dragonclaw in dota 2 for $10

Seriously, you got to be a fucking loser to put any monetary value to a fucking vidya skin. Back then before the valve jews did that, they were unlocks and everyone had access to the same unlocks.

Basically valve created MTFs before it became mainstream a few years back. Losers with no life decided to put real hard cash value on these things and the third world retards aka valve's primary playerbase followed the trend.

I say good fucking riddances and hopefully steam shut down forever so PC gaming become physical again and only for the first worlders like it used to be.

Die fucking die you fucking fat kike bitch(Gaben)

Low price knives on the actual Steam Marketplace that were $140 ~ $200 (leafbucks) last night are $60 ~ $80 this morning.

Consider that once the 7 day trade ban wears off next week there will be a massive race to the bottom to sell all of the new knives. I also expect this to kill several of the CS gambling / skins sites (good). All in all, this is a 10/10 update and every once in a while Valve actually gets something right.

>>723984962
Always diversify your investments

>>723984273
from my understanding, Gaben made it so you could trade up your red skins into the knives that thirdies use as a black market stock portfolio, causing the supply of the rare knives to drastically increase and the prices to rapidly drop. thirdies are freaking out because they put all of their life savings into a speculative vidya skins market, and some are supposedly killing themselves. it's not a bad thing

>>723985052

>>723984273
Knifes are very rare to get from cases. Like 0.2% or something. And most of the time you get shit knifes. Good Knifes are extremely rare and as such are very expensive.
The only way before this update to get a knife was through a case.
However, in this new update you can get a knife by exchanging 5 "red" skins (Certain rarity of skins) to get a random knife from that case series. There was a abundance of shitty worthless "red" skins that were pretty worthless (As they had no purpose) but after the update they could be used for a chance to get one extremely rare and expensive knife.
As such the price of these shitty "red" skins have shot up in value with supply rapidly decreasing, whereas the value of the knifes have decreased due to the new abundance of supply. As such there is a massive market shift and nobody now knows what the real floor of the knifes are now that there is a easy way to guarantee a knife from 5 red skins.
Armageddon might happen in 6 days time, when all the newly crafted knifes from the red skins are available to be listed on the market diluting the current supply of "rare" items. Nobody really knows how fucked the value of knifes will be when all the newly crafted knifes hit the market.

>>723979498

Yeah no shit, it was an absolute certainty the market would crash, you were playing speculative hot potato. You do realize that there are many predictable events that could happen such as Valve announcing a sequel game or catastrophic data loss at the datacenter?

>>723985390
This. The red pumping won't last, and case prices will plummet. I can't wait to see what the market looks like when the trade ban window ends next week.

>>723985323
holy fucking shit! how do you even survive that?!

>>723985323

You don't. They all died.

>>723985553
Yep, literally everyone from pros to content creators to investors to even fucking casuals have been screaming "SELL NOW" for about two weeks, you only have yourself to blame. It was obvious that things wouldn't just keep going up.

>>723981380
I mean gold has real world applications when it comes to making things like microchips but that requires society to still be intact. Gold is a useful metal but only for advanced manufacturing.

>>723985563
Case prices will not go down. All this update did was shift the value of what you can get in cases in favor of less rare items maintaining a proportional value. While this means next to nothing for currently dropping cases, the incentive to open more cases because there's more of a guarantee you can make profit (since all reds are in higher demand in general), rare pool cases will increase in price steadily most likely over the next 6 months. If you look at Fracture Cases, while they did dip they are actually rebounding just fine.

That is because the mythical "cash out" into real, tangible currency was a rare event and generally led to people getting caught laundering money. There was no fast or easy way to cash out, it was all fake money top to bottom. There is a reason you don't invest into digital offerings.

>>723986234
Yes, it's retarded. Basing economic decisions on the interactions between a game and people is never a smart thing to do. I feel bad for the people that didn't get in early and dumped actual money into this as if it was a sure thing.
Now if you started in 2013 and bought cases at .03 you'd know that
>Valve can basically do whatever they want whenever they want to the game which can influence prices, ex: the AUGpocolypse
>the floor for investing will never be the same anymore and the people that have made money off of this have already cashed out or are sitting on ridiculous gold mines, like people who have 1,000+ cases of various types
So once again if you put actual money into this (like more than you felt was safe; lots of people put in a few hundred dollars and over the years have converted that to thousands) and are surprised you somehow lost a lot of it in one update, odds are you are new to the market.

Are there even any middle man grey markets who would even allow you to try to cash out a million? This is obviously a criminal enterprise operating outside of the law, they'd block any real transaction.

I had a Frontside Misty I sold a couple years ago I regret not holding onto, they are worth a fuck ton now but at the time I just was bored of CSGO and didn't give a shit to keep my weapons and it was still a massive profit from just unboxing a fucking crate lmao. Never had a knife though and could not give a shit what happens to the faggot market for this game or any Valve game these days.

Probably, but again those tend to be easy enough to spot. The Canadian RCMP is one of the biggest owners of CS skins due to an arrest and seize of assets they did in the last year from someone trying to do exactly what you said. All easily tracible and trackable.

It's just colors nigga, do you have a panic attack when you see red lipstick? Red is a cool color, that's it

>>723977716
lol

>>723987751
He really just means Japan, in reference to clothing color in Samurai lore. Red is a color of justice, revenge, luck, and heroism. White is the color of evil and death. Black is a color of dishonor and secrecy. That sort of thing. It doesn't really apply here.

>>723987731
Oh please I sold out at $25.6 and am sat on cash calmly waiting for the AI bubble to burst. Can't wait to slurp it all up at $1.

They don't care about cosmetics. The cosmetics are just the variant of stocks they're speculating on.

You think one of these guys is going to target Gabe for this

what's the money in your wallet based on? faith? it's the same fucking thing you delusional bitch.

>>723988428
Maybe they did it so more people could enjoy having cool looking things?

If Mcskillet was still alive he'd probably do a mass shooting before offing himself

>>723988290
Someone will. He fucked with several billions of dollars.
Victims, casino owners, you name it. Lot of people just became extremely poor overnight.

>>723988469
Aww did you lose some money, stay mad LMAO

>>723988428
maybe they made a change to benefit players instead of lining shareholder pockets and the pockets of sleezy digital slumlords?

>devs update game
>all your virtual items are now worthless
maybe don't invest all your money on something that is solely dependent on one video game and you have no control over what the devs do with the game

>>723987520
What game is that gun from

>>723988428
A few reasons I think. For one, the community market has been bogged down in hundreds of thousands of unsold skins with no one willing to pay the high prices for them. And two, it directs traffic and transactions back to the market rather than what most of these gambling idiots do which is organize trades on third party sites for crypto.

>>723988428
>billions in unrealized speculative assets in a private "economy"
Gee anon I wonder what the legal liability could be here?

>>723988428
Probably to make sure people can actually use the skins put in the game? I dunno, seems odd to make skins for for a video game extremely rare and expensive to the point where nobody buys them except retards like this guy>>723988469
.

>>723988290
Yes
100%. He just scammed millions of people

Good on Gaben. Poor people deserve to be put in their place.

>>723988469
the government with a giant army, bureaucracy, weapons of mass destruction, and the will to use them to enforce its will . It has value because it can actually be used as a medium of transaction for goods and services all across Earth

>>723988428
Everyone will quit cs now, and never trust Valve again. So no.
This was a very dumb business decision

>>723988897
If people are playing CS for the skins instead of the game itself, that is a fuckin problem.

>>723988808
How? If anything this is bad for people who amassed thousands of dollars in cosmetics they lost most of its value in a single swipe.

>>723988469
>what's the money in your wallet based on?
The government.
Critizice it all you want, it ain't going anywhere. You can't say the same for an online shooter where Gaben's fat ass bumping a keyboard can somehow evaporate your savings.

You are retarded if you partake in this sort of thing and deserve what is happening.

>>723988541
Nobody became poor. Nobody lost anything and they were already poor. None of these things ever had anything more than community driven speculative value. Just because they said their knife skin was worth $5000, does not mean that it was. You have to have buyers for a market to be real, and these never did. If they were able to actually sell these skins for what they said they were worth then they would have. Instead they stockpiled them and pretended to be rich. Nothing has changed today except reality is finally hitting them that they were playing pretend.

Fuck gabe

>>723977692 (OP)
Holy fucking shit, that bad?

>>723986691

Diablo 3 RMA had it figured out. You sold your shitty digital item to someone and had real cash straight away in your PayPal account or debit card. I would never deal with shit like Valve's Economy and CS Skins if you can't insta cash out.

>>723988469
You see society came up with the clever idea of a intermediate currency instead of barter, you might understand that it's difficult to buy a car with tacos.

Good, video games are not supposed to have an "economy".

>>723988792
Gun skins are retarded in any case, if they put character skins in boxes more people would be willing to use them instead of sitting on some fuck ugly knife or gun solely for their perceived value.

>>723988932
Shouldn’t have a skins market at all then retard

I will always bask when people with more money than me suffer

>>723989071
I didn't know I was the one who made the market for skins in a fucking video game, kill yourself.

>>723989071
The skin market was third party, not valve's

Class action lawsuit time i think

Absolutely retarded post

>>723989128
Get fucked, valve’s time is up

>>723989150
Skins have no monetary value and requires you to account trade or operate out of Steam. You have no standing. It's like holding a card game store legally liable because people were doing organ harvesting to trade pokemon cards.

>>723988652
buy battlefield 6 instead

>>723989071
What sense does that make? They are just an optional cosmetic item to make your gun look cool. They are not a fiat currency or a stock. All Valve has to do is make the skins not marketable or tradable, and then it becomes no different than Call of Duty or Fortnite cosmetics. Skins are not the problem, nor have they ever been the point of the game. Dumb brown people thought they could somehow get rich from them and that's not anybody's fault but their own for fundamentally misunderstanding what this stuff is.

tf2 already had a cataclysmic trader fuckfest with the crate depression
the entire board was flooded in pink wojacks like /biz/ when it happened in 2019
in the modern day however things are just looking bad by default, especially after the shitty & broken halloween update, so a higher volume of folks are deciding to cash out naturally.
with this cs2 crash i have no doubt about the cashouts accelerating by now

This makes Gacha fags look like human beings

And 2 of my friends sank thousands of euros "investing" into knives haha

>>723989326
No surviving that fall. They are still hundreds of feet up. Too far too fall, but not far enough for a parachute to slow you down at all.

Again, I'm a pilot. You don't survive that. The only crashes people walk away from are more akin to landings. This is just an explosion and falling straight down. The vast majority of aviation deaths happen in the base to final turn when trying to land because of a mixture of low power and low altitude. Altitude is time, if you don't have enough you can't correct.

>>723988965
It was though. You can pretty easily convert that into crypto and use crypto as an asset to leverage for financials.
If your view of the skin economy was some dingbat in Malta driving around in a Ferrari... You're gravely mistaken.

Why does CS have so many chinese people owning skins worth tens of thousands of dollars? IIRC the biggest trade in csgo history was over 500k and it was done between 2 chinese collectors. Do they not use money for anything over there?

Yes

They made items worth $100,000 worth $50 instead

>>723989205

since 2014 the reddit spilled over to the rest of the internet both in their users and their rhetoric.

CURSE VISHNU RIGHT NOW

the biggest cs brazilian streamer (gaules) said on stream that he already knew about the update and he sold everything 2 weeks ago and that a few other streamers and pro-players also knew

>>723990451
Holy fuck, imagine how mad those retards have to be now kek

>>723990342
That’s okay because pretty soon Valve will be worth nothing

it could be worth $20 tomorrow
You never know with valve

>>723990451

>>723990709
I wish Valve would have the balls to ruin the stickers. All those fags hoarding holos would crash out so hard

>>723990746
Only if the intention was malicious, I believe. But this doesn't seem intentional.

>>723990835


they just have to make em available again, first thing it would happen the hoarders would get a metadata status to their own to try to gatekeep value.

>>723990746
It's not stocks anon, if you speculate your money on some sketchy site with no regulations and lose money it's your fault
Also Steam is a private company so you can't even frame it as securities fraud

This>>723990962
And Valve isn't the one hoarding the market.

First they came for artifact and I said nothing for I was not an artifact player...

Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

All the big trades (above 2k) happen on third party sites. Valve shouldn't give a shit about the economy since they see 0 money from them unlike the 30% steam market tax.

>>723990424
>a fucking digital color for a digital weapon was worth 100k to start with
That's a problem in itself already.

I'm poor and therefore I haven't got a big brain to invest.

But if I had like 10.000€ Id put it in gold futures, I mean it would circumvent my 3rd world bank account that doesn't let anyone earn money and its the other way around even if you had tens of millions.

but the taxes on having gold stocks wouldn't be so bad next to keeping the non tangible cosmetic goods.

hope they can use this lesson after they save 5 years worth of salary saving spending 0 and living off mom and dad again.
