Russianbros, are you guys alright?
>>216119087Should have invested into those cases instead
they scammed my 150 euro brand new knife a 2 years ago, i hope they -ack en masse now
>my 600 USD knife is now 300lmao
my CS inventory is full of things I dropped when the game was released in 2012-2013 and now it is worth a significant amount I would have never imagined back then
>>216120176same, i sold a bunch of shit few months ago and made something like 100usd
>>216119087CS2 for retards. Russians have Tarkov.
>>216120344>walking simulator
>>216120389It's a pain simulator. You're just too weak for it. For like you, there's Tarkov: Arena.https://arena.tarkov.com/
>>216120344Okay they're both for retards then.
>>216120954Who ask you?
>>216119087i don't play fpslopwhat happened?
>CSfags will finally have to find a job
>>216119087I don't play CS, unfortunately.Last time I played actively was before CS:GO on some war3 server in 1.6. It was fun.
>>216121916skin market is dood
>>216121916skins market crashed 30% in a day because Valve raped everyone
>tfw CS2 skin economy is more stable than actual capitalist economy
>>216119087Valve just crashed the retirement plan of some people lmao. Fuck skinfags.
>>216122097>>216122084>>216122140What did valve do exactly?
>>216122306You can now trade up to golds from 5 red skins. Gloves and knifes are dropping like 75% in a day
>>216122306You can trade in five medium-rarity items for a very rare item, which includes those stupidly expensive knives.
>>216122084>>216122097Only the prices of knives and gloves are affected; everything else is fine
>>216123524Max "ohnepixel" Zimmerman dead?
my safari meshes are still the same price, checkmate knifefags
I noticed that the average age of a cs player is no more than 18. Although battlefield players are several times older and also many times more adequate. How can anyone even play this shit?
Fucking hell, I was planning on eventually selling my skins and making a small profit.
*knock* *knock*Should I buy a knife? They are still pretty expensive>>216124677How much did you lose?
>>216124732I have no idea. Not much I‘d say. I had invested a little over a hundred Euros I think. Bought a shitty knife and a few good looking skins. Last time I checked their worth had increased by like 40 Euros or so.
>>216120344>Retardov
kek it's Brazilians deflecting because lots of thirdies had money in skins
>>216124732>Should I buy a knife?No, just buy cheap cases and weapon skins
>>216124612>the average age of a cs player is no more than 18. Although battlefield players are several times olderReally? Seems it would be the other way around. Noone in my age plays battlefield anyways
my m4a1 cyrex ft almost quadrupled in price lol
>>216119087Russians are fine, its only knives and gloves crashing, do you think russians have the means to buy those with their 300 dollar salaries? even westerners are priced out of the good expensive stuff atp unless you just want to spend a months full paycheck for an inventory
>my souvenir G3SG1 is now 0.81 shekelsbought 10 for 0.18 shekels thinking you can use them in trade up, lucky!
can someone explain why thirdies especially have money "invested" in this? are they not allowed to trade regular stocks?
>>216124732Yes, people are buying all the covert skins to tradeup knives better get one before all coverts are sold for knives and their price hikes again
>>216120344if the cheating situation hasn't improved then it's even more retarded than CS
>>216125429Because stocks don't drop randomly every week
I stopped playing this game because of braindead russiansthey have not figured out how to rub one neuron against the other yet
>>216125429Because the CS market had/has higher returns than the S&P 500
I made 700 usd from selling a knife I had impulsively bought
People are exiting the TF2 market too lmaoooThis is creating a cascading effect
>>216125520CS2 cheating situation is absolutely grim valve literally bans nobody even if they admit cheating in chatThey cheat so blatantly I see accounts with hundreds worth of skin do it because they know valve won't do shitIt's so shit everybody plays faceit solely for it's anti cheat
>>216125600God, I hope this forces them to make a decent update
>>216125549I only get matched with portuguese and other spaniards due to the proximity matchmaking, fun times
>>216125549You need a group to play or you don't play at all desu. I'm not speding an hour with retards.
>>216125429Because the CS skin market is fucking retarded and super volatile lol. A sticker could be worth $5 when it releases then explode to over $1000 in a few years and if you bought a ton of those cheap ass stickers then you just made a ton of money.
>>216125600Anon... that's a 15% drop, people are moving money into red skins
imagine spending real world money on a bunch of virtual pixels
>>216125731Still more reliable than the british economy
For reasons I cannot yet explain I decided to sell my knife just yesterday Hopefully the idiot buyer won't reverse the trade and CSfloat won't go bankrupt before the money hits
>>216125429Even though it's clearly not a real investment as Valve is free to change the rules at any given time I suppose to them it's more accessible than stocks market and the profits over last few years have been insane.
>>216125960Blessed anon
Not gonna lie, I hate investniggers/scalpers who think they're entrepreneurs because they buy a shitton of hobby merchandise and then sit on it hoping to make gains, so this makes me happy. Seeing grown men fight over Pokemon cards so they can corner the market from kids who actually like Pokemon and make a few bucks' profit is already gay, but seeing them acting like they're genius businessmen because they just discovered scalping is even worse. TCG """investors""" are worse because you don't need a knife skin to play CS so you're not denying product to people who actually want to play the game, but skincels are just as cringe and this """crash""" is deserved all the same.
>>216124732I would definitely wait for a few days (potentially 2 weeks when all the trade locks etc expire) and see what prices are doing then.
>>216125600I hope this causes for people to stop investing in CS/Valve items altogether. Until today Valve has always kept the fundamentals of the skins market intact so they would retain value. This has now been broken. There will be a day when they will stop allowing for people to freely trade altogether
>>216126282wasn’t there a similar thing that happened to tf2 hats?
>>216126410Only when glitches happened, like when the item servers stopped working so retards started selling their hats on mass, because they thought it wouldn't come back online
>>216126410That was during the "Crate Depression" (funny name given to a bug during an update that caused some cases to give guaranteed unusuals)https://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=53025Unusuals dropped like crazy in value and then Valve after a while made all of the new unboxed hats untradable except for one for each player (as a treat I guess). I still got mines as a reminder
>mfw I sold everything 2 weeks ago when I recovered my Steam account
