>>724047626 (OP)
jesus people really are overreacting over this shit. its not like they put in all they life savings. and no, $10k is not life savings. you can save up that in less than a year of work on minimum wage

>>724047824
>$10k is not life savings. you can save up that in less than a year of work on minimum wage

not surprising

>>724047772
There was a sticky over this? Link?

>>724047680
I loved source

>>724048163
Huh? I assume the Carlos joke?
Did he subsequently steal that from Aquajeet?

>>724047824
I think these people were basically like the wall street guys killing themselves.

It's not just the money. It's that this is their lifestyle. It's part of their identity. They can't live without this supposed "status" anymore.

>>724047626 (OP)
No wonder NA died in CS.

CS used to be a very NA game but after skins became profitable the whole NA scene and popularity of the game died.

Total third worlder death

I've sold a few skins and stuff in CSGO/CS2 but what I dont get is why do people have like thousands of dollars of inventory? The money is stuck on steam so unless you are buying shit tons of games why is it useful?

Something something an hero shooter or whatever

>>724048319
>CS used to be a very NA game
In what fucking world?
CS has always been an EU game

>>724048325
you buy tf2 keys and sell them at a loss for real money off platform

KWAB

I guess you could say CS is…an hero shooter now!

>>724048325
You sell them on third party sites where they use cash instead of steam bucks.

>>724047626 (OP)
What did gabe actually do?

>>724048325
You can sell the skins on 3rd part sites for real money or crypto.

>>724048347
It was still very popular in NA.

Now its non-existent.

>>724047626 (OP)

post black eggs

how do you think gaben feels with the fact that he caused people to kill themselves?
how would you feel in his place? would you feel responsible? remorseful? would it keep you up at night?
it's nice being me and having a clean conscience, the worst thing I ever did was hit my classmates on the head when I was around 10

>>724049281
He probably doesn't care. I wouldn't.

Old fag here:
Back when I was playing cs 1.6, I'm pretty sure you could download/upload your own skins for your guns/characters, etc.
So why are ppl paying for skins now?

>>724049343
you wouldn't care that if hell exists you're most likely going there for all eternity, especially since you're 62 so you know the time's coming

is @incelnudist a trustworthy news source?

>>724049589
it was reposted by chad_nation. 100% confirmed

Legit never played/paid attention to CSGO.
How exactly was there a "multi-million" dollarydoo CSGO knife skin industry?
Do the knife have different stats and it's for competitive shit?

Legit don't fucking understand this at all.

CS was always an EU/LatAm game. The scene in NA was really small compared to the millions of Brazilians and Russians playing from internet cafés.

>>724047626 (OP)
Explain why I should care. Let all of them die.

>>724048319
>CS used to be a very NA
Lol

>>724050224
kek that's exactly how Their golem religion works

These traders really need to learn to set a goal. Sell at a specific point and enjoy the money earned. Holding perpetually just shows a severe lack of direction in life.

>>724050097

I still don't understand why valve did this? Can someone explain this to me like i'm a 5 year old chimp?
What was the rationale behind doing this?
What was gained?
Why did they do it now?
Did they think about the repercussions?
A few years ago while i was still playing WoW, a guildmate told me that a friend of his bought himself a new car with the money from trading CS knives. I thought he was bullshitting me so i ignored it.

>>724048507
>Now its non-existent.
that's because NA can't compete with EU, not because of skins lol

>>724052689
so dumb faggots get dabbed on
normal players are having a good time

>I still don't understand why valve did this? Can someone explain this to me like i'm a 5 year old chimp?

???

>>724047626 (OP)
Accelerate.

>>724052689
maybe they realized that the headaches around having an economy based around digital combat knives worth literal tens of thousands of dollars was retarded and not worth it and it would be more fun for the players if more people could run around with cool knives in their shooting videogame

>>724052689
The real answer is probably someone at Valve was aimless and bored or trying to look busy to justify his salary and presented the idea on a whim to shake things up for the sake of it (he looks like this btw)

>>724052896
>>724052937
>it's the money, stupid
I forgot we're talking about a corporation there, haha silly me. I guess valve got tired of randos making bank with their game then. I wonder what will happen to CS now that valve blew up the market. Who the fuck is gonna invest money into this ponzi shit now? Honestly this is some eve-online type level of fuckery, except people are killing themselves irl over it instead of ingame.

>>724047626 (OP)
plenty more where that came from

>>724053115
They popped a fucking unsustainable bubble propped up by greedy kikes.

Notice how barely anyone is bitching about this besides the traders.

I wonder how many Venezuelans would kill themselves if Jagex actually ended RMT on Runescape.

>>724047626 (OP)
Not a lawfag, but I'm interested.
Does Valve have any legal responsibility for suicides in this instance? I'd imagine they knew what would happencto value and there's no way they don't know about people making money on this shit.

>>724047824
>$10k is not life savings. you can save up that in less than a year of work on minimum wage
If you don't have to pay rent, a mortgage, or have any bills whatsoever. What in the fuck are you talking about? I make above minimum wage but I get raped from bills, groceries, and gas. I hardly even buy shit I don't need

>>724048237

>>724053247
Counter Strike is not the stock market

>>724052689
I think it will unironically propel case openings, since you're now not only looking for le gold, but also for red items. There will be a scarcity of reds to turn into gold and people will start doing even more crate openings.
Plus people panic selling their knives is better for Valve than people just hoarding those, since they actually get money cut from sales.

tldr VALVE GOT MORE MONEY

>>724047680
Yes I bought it on release. I'm old as fuck.

>>724049991
>to stop people flooding the board
This board is flooded with the most inane shitposting on the net on a daily basis (the janitors allow it and encourage it), so that can't be it.
Try to be less retarded and come up with a better answer.

>>724049053
de_snipe_it5 was better

>>724052689
High valuations mean people are selling items outside the marketplace to Valve doesn't get a cut. If you equalise the value of items so that a lot of the cheaper items are now little more expensive, the extremely expensive items are cheaper you bring back boatloads of money into the valve controlled and taxes trading environment

>>724047772
it was a literal containment thread

>>724047626 (OP)
>mfw bought the deck and still got over 250yurobucks on steam from selling crates during pre-CS2 craze

>>724053247
What crime would Valve commit in this case? Murder/Homicide through inducement? It can't be said that Valve induced the victim to jump.

>>724053540
This it brings back people to the steam market.
It fucks over high value traders who do nothing but treat the game as some retirement fund.
It kicks the market in the nuts and brings it back lose to its real value.
And it makes casuals who want a cheaper knife happy.

Literally win win win. The only people seething are the useless wastes of air that pumped this artificial market to begin with.

>>724053762
It also makes people pay valve more directly and they are far more trust worthy than knife sellers

>>724053540
>>724053762
>The only people seething are the useless wastes of air that pumped this artificial market to begin with
So these CSknife lords were some sort of scalpers, like they do with new console releases?

>>724053839
True crate openings are going to skyrocket because reds have value now.

>>724053883
Worst.
The chinks literally hoarded skins and articially pumped their prices.
You know why the economy reached a market cap of 6 billion? It's all fucking market manipulation.

This isn't just scalping. It's actual bogdanoff shit.

Bros my hecking cases... Its over...

just because 3 kids off themselves in a uni around the same time doesnt mean its related to this csgo fiasco ya fools

I have never played anything after Counter-Strike 1.6 and I am pretty fucking clueless, so asking like a retard:

Is this normal market pricing, prices plummeting, or high pricing for the lulz of it? Because holy shit, it looks dumber than pokemon cards.

>does nothing
>loses

are people actually buying this shit? Like seriously these are just fucking skins. You can't even touch it
Sorry I'm old and stopped playing cs while it was v1.3

>>724047824
We're talking about third worlders here. They make a fraction of what we do in the west. That's the whole reason why western companies outsource to sweatshops and the jeet tech sector, so they don't have to pay them human wages for their work.

Gaben will go to hell for this, he caused all of this, he ruined the lives of many innocent men with a single update.

no . any multiplayer game with permadead is shit

so you can elt CS afking on the background to get skins to get money?

Legit question, how do you extract value from Steam cash?

you can live like a king in some countries with that money
in others you can't even afford rent
