>investing in digital items
Get fucked
I could masturbate to that picture this makes me so hard

Gabe got a phone call from them

Can someone explain the context? I know people trade skins and all that, but why would an update destroy item value? Did they increase drop rates or something? Is the update itself good/bad for regular players that don't care about skins?

All of those are Chinks and turd worlders

Based Gabe ridding us from filth

>my pixels are ONLY worth 4 billion now!!
kwab

If you "invest" in these kinds of money making schemes, not only do you deserve to lose it all you also deserve to be ridiculed for it.

>expending money on video game knives as its some sort of safe investment
They got no one to blame but themselves, if they truly were smart as they think they are, they'd invest that money on gold instead.

>there are people who actually care about this nothing burger!
I hate you dumb butt hurt Steamies!

KWAB

So fucking funny man.
Valve makes it so the retarded market resets and allows people to get more of the in-game items.
This is somehow bad. Turd worlders are funny.

Oh god I am fucking laughing so hard fucking KEK I think I'll buy some more licenses in the next steam sale thanks for the entertainment gaben I'm going out to buy some popcorn because I can afford it and these niggas cant hahaha they cant even afford some popcorn anymore HAHAHAH

can I get a quick rundown on what happened? something to do with CS:GO knives?

>>724034616
WE ARE SELLING TO WILLING BUYERS FOR THE FAIR MARKET PRICE
SO THAT WE MAY SURVIVE

every single person who is considering suicide as a result of this, should

PRAISE BE THE GABE!!!

-80% on knives and gloves and still dropping

>>724034315
Excellent for people who actually play the game shit for morons who were using a videogame like a bank

>>724034692
I will never buy a skin that costs more than 25 cents and even then I wont out of principle.

BUY THE DIP YOU FOOLS

>>724033496 (OP)
>cs2 dies on your birthday
I didn't wish for this present but i guess i'll take it

Gabe has killed more Chinks than the Taiwanese and US military in the modern era.

Also if you're a turd worlder, why are you blowing $1000+ on CS skins? $1000+ in the turd world is like years of salary.

>>724034670
nah they need to go to back to the minimum wage work cage so I can keep laughing at them. imagine that being your life. gambling your best years on fucking cs:go skin speculation instead of building something tangible like skills, body, career

imagine being a suicide hotline operator and getting calls from people wanting to kill themselves over csgo knives

>>724034660
your player base will never sell knives again

>>724033496 (OP)
It is pretty nuts they can manipulate a massive market worth billions like that overnight. Something about it feels illegal but I won’t hold my breath

According to GTP:
Short version: Valve pushed an October 22–23, 2025 CS2 patch that changed the Trade-Up Contract so you can now craft knives & gloves (including StatTrak variants) from Covert (red) skins. That single change instantly re-ordered supply/demand for many items, causing huge price swings and a reported ~$1.7–2B hit to the skins market in a day. The community is furious — people are review-bombing Steam, posting screenshots of massive inventory losses, and begging Valve to revert or explain

>>724034639
From what I've been reading:
>people used rare CSGO knives as a stock market, each one costing thousands of dollars and stockpiling them, meaning that a lot of people "owned" hundreds of thousands of dollars in "knife stocks"
>also they sold them through a third party webpage so they could get real money, instead of just Steam credit if they sold them through the Marketplace
>Valve shadowdrops a new update that now allows everyone to craft said rare knives using low rarity ones
>rare knives prices instantly crash because they have now become worthless, while the low rarity ones are now worth even more
>approximate loss of 2 billion dollars, but again, it's all monopoly money because they were just stockpiling said knives instead of selling them for true cash
>already a couple of confirmed instances of people killing themselves or going into violent fits because they lost hundreds of thousands in monopoly money

I'm actually curious about how many confirmed suicides have been reported so far.

>"Steam do something about the gambling and grey markets of digital steam items!"
>NOOOO! NOT LIKE THAT!
Just because you could find a retard to drop 1k+ on a skin doesn't mean your digital knife was worth anything.

>>724033496 (OP)
>There's people who dumped their whole life investing on a fucking game

This was based.

>It took crashing the gambling economy for zoomies to finally realize GabeN is not the saint they think he is
lol

who the fuck still plays cs

>>724033496 (OP)
I hope Nintendo does the same with rare pokemon cards just because I think it would be really funny

>>724034674
I thought you quit spamming, haven't seen you in the past threads.

LOL RETARDS THINK PIXELS ARE REAL

CRYPTO FAGS CAN LEARN A LESSON IF THEY ARE SMART

>>724035002

imagine "investing" in unregulated commodities

>>724035000
checked
>schadenfreude
reddit word, go back

>>724035034
its only boomers investing in fucking cs2

>>724035040
Nintendo or Pokemon does not have control where their cards land.

If they really hated scalping and want to upend the market they would just mass produce x100 until the illustration rares and rare cards go down severely in price.

>>724034928
Yes, I don’t know about legality, but it’s mind boggling to swing a multi billion dollar market with a game update. Honestly if they wanted to make changes to the system, they should have done it way before it got that big, or made it a gradual process.

>>724033496 (OP)
>I invested 500 dollars and now I have nothing
lmao that's not worth killing yourself over, dummy

>>724035034
In fact, he is a god. Like divine wind, he shall sweep through China and Russia, and improve the multiplayer communities of many games as thousands an hero over their sparkle dog ass cosmetics plummet in pretend value and they lose millions worth of imaginary money

>>724035101
it's more like 40%. Nothing has dropped by 80

>>724034928
you get what you fuckin deserve if your financial strategy was "whatever price other people are willing to pay you for a digital skin in a video game"
it can't be valves job to give a shit about a retarded pseudo-stock market

>>724033496 (OP)
>investing real money into CSGO knives
They deserve to lose every single dollar, why the fuck would you invest money into a game?

imagine telling someone that you invested in skins for a knife on a decade old shooter
>yeah so this one has an extra line of red under where my hand holds it so you can't see it when I play, but it's there. Anyway that makes it worth $5,000
lmao it's just so fucking ridiculous in so many ways. People are total retards this is worse than NFTs. Though I've long felt this way about CSGO and honestly all this content should just be a free part of the game I think. I wouldn't spend money on this stupid shit even if it was $1.

>>724035040
Yeah, scalpers ruined the hobby, but I doubt it because the cards are physical products. Unless of course replicas are made exactly to a T.

>>724033496 (OP)
these are literally no different than NFTs. cryptofags gonna find out soon too

>>724034930
Let's be honest, maybe not alot since I'm sure some are being fakes for cheap lols and reaction bait for people that are addicted to schadenfreude.

But I'm sure in my gut someone at least thought about it.

>>724034620
this really drives home how frequently discourse these days ends up being people co-opting language from another, more important thing for their own pet issue, even when it makes absolutely no sense

like, this is a speech you'd make to boycott a company from dumping nuclear waste into the ocean, not a game company making it harder to speculate on their skin marketplace

>>724033496 (OP)
total traders genocide

>>724034237
düümpèèţ

When the fuck will butterfly knife drop to 50 dollars?

>>724035060
THE ONLY THING I QUIT WAS BEFORE THE DIP BITCH!!! AYAYYYYAYAA

>>724035164
look at buff, the largest market
a karambit vanilla was $2500 yesterday
it traded for $450 an hour ago

>>724033496 (OP)
Yfw you never fell for this scam of digital items

>>724034928
It's an imaginary market because the value of these digital items is just make belief.
It should honestly be illegal.

>>724035237
Well. People are burning five 50-100 dollar items to make knives and gloves so probably never

AHEM

>>724035284
One retard liquidating his inventory won't keep the prices there. I expect all knives to drop by about 50% on average when this settles down. Maybe the crappy ones will drop a bit lower but people are acting like a $450 jpeg is somehow not absurdly expensive still

For me it was going to lan cafes and buying $12 hours of wow or cs or halo or portal or w/e and drinking bawls soda. That money had value.

>>724034928
It's not a legit market in the first place. It's the same thing as RMT sellers in MMOs/ARPGs or account sellers/bot farms in live service games. Like you damage the intended game economy and profit off it by playing around cracks in the game system and loopholes etc. Smart people don't waste their time and talents making a career in this shit it's for desperate people or nerds making side gig cash. Like yeah the company can and will change shit without warning and fuck up your tenuous business model overnight they don't owe you shit you're already leeching off them

>>724035361
>It should honestly be illegal.
No it shouldn't these items have no physical grounding, you're paying for retardation of expecting said item to be worth what you paid without being regulated

ALL MY FUCKING REDS ARE FUCKED
