>makes a pro consumer move

This is why nobody takes gamers seriously.

Only skintrannies bitch about it

>pro consumer
It was pro company. I say this without having a dog in the race.

Value gets their cut from transaction fees. Their update was meant to make less valuable knives more sellable. A $1000 knife won't be sold as much as a $40 knife.

Everyone loves it except the fags who thought a skin was an actual investment

Who is bitching about it
Who

It was pro big corp. More trades = more money for valve take cuts on each trade. It was anti consumer because it fucked over everyone's worth.

>>724063025
a pro company move that is inadvertently pro consumer. the only people that lose are the skin fags that treated this like a real market.

>it fucked over everyone's worth.
there is this delusion going around that your average player had an inventory that was impacted by this when it's just not fucking true, the average place was priced out heavily starting in 2020, the only people that lost "worth" are the 1% of players that actively engage in 3rd party trading.

it's not though, most of the skins will go back up, the covert skins will now remain high, knife skins will drop slightly but that's it.

Several Russians who are gonna go get droned in Ukraine because their pretend knives are worthless now.

>everybody bitches

Everyone loved it though.
The only one bitching are the skincels.

Valve made 100% from people playing the slot machine case opening thing. I don't see people wanting to spend money there as much now that the super expensive knife they were hoping to get costs a lot less.

Russians and Chinks.

i think you need to take an econ class

1. Gabe is effectively retired. He is barely involved with Valve and spends all day inside his yacht sometimes talking about meme tech over internet or plays dota 2.
2. Knife contract change was made to increase the frequency of steam market trades and key purchases, increasing valve's profits
3. They run literal drm store monopoly and several gambling lootbox games. Valve is business first and not above using shills like OP. They are anti consumer and pro censorship.
