The biggest "trade" thing I ever engaged in pretty much my whole life since I had my Steam account, barring one time a friend lent me a TF2 unusual for a while, but then I gave it back to him like he asked, was a few months ago some guy randomly added me and said he wanted me to give him one of my Steam Gifts which was like, only numbers any nothing else, cause whatever game it used to be was now removed off the store, but I still owned it in a Tradable Steam Gift format and he said he was collecting those things.

He basically offered me like 12 mann co keys or so, even went first with the offer, I gave him the gift then that was it. I got the keys, then immediately sold them all the same days and got some extra money out of it.

Some people were holding equipment speculatively worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, some past a million.
Most of that, in the hyper rare space of knives and gloves, is worthless. Things like red rares, case hardened AKs and the like, are still pretty much rare and unaffected. This is solely a kick in the nuts to people who hoarded knives and gloves.
Everyone else gets cheaper knives/gloves, people who have reds sitting around get to make 4-5x what they were worth 24 hours ago, and normal people get to look cool while they play without having to sacrifice a mortgage. It's no more expensive than any given valorant item set, which is probably the point.

This was just NFTs. But yes, you should never invest money in speculative currencies unless you're okay with losing it. It's gambling, you need to be mentally prepared to treat it like gambling. In that, as soon as you buy, expect it to be gone.

I have so many questions about this

1. Was the change completely unknown beforehand and just got pushed through the update unannounced? I guess it doesnt really matter even if they did announce it, the effect would have been same

2. I understand some of this is very expensive, but if you really had your retirement invested in this, what were you even waiting for instead of cashing out? Was the expectation that a 10k knife was going to be 20k in 5 years or what? Has that been the trend this whole time, just going up and up?

No. All these trading markets are the same as the NFT craze: numbers are inflated incestuously, in the hopes that some idiot will come along and give them a payday. They treat lines of code like digital gold, but they didn't understand that gold only has value if you can hold it in your two hands.
These people never "had" anything except a promissory note, but the note wasn't worth the paper it was written on.

CS2 has a bunch of super-rare skins and gear. People have been using them as speculation trading for years, with large sums of money being paid by whales who want to have the rare shit to flash in-game. Today out of the blue, Valve pushed an update that lets you melt five junk items to get a random drop, which can among other things be any of the previously ultra-rare shit.

that was a worry in csgo, then they moved everyone and everything onto cs2 and a year later prices started exploding due to investor confidence. plenty of knife speculators got wiped out in that transition as well, where lighting engine changes made certain patterns look better and other, rarer patterns looked like shit in the new game.

Who is "celebrating"?
>>
I got a knife for cheap back when they were first introduced. One of the really nice ones. It was like 200$ at the time, and I traded for it, so nothing out of my pocket.

On one hand, I'm sad that I didn't sell my knife for a few thousands while it was still up there. On the other hand, at least bots will hopefully stop fucking adding me now.

The guy in op who an hero'd is Russian. Because their economy is flopping hard while putin transfers everything to a war economy for their forever war they were keeping their life savings in csgo skins and crypto, to avoid the currency devaluation from raping their bank accounts. The sanctions (and government policies on keeping money in their country) meant it was pretty much impossible for these people to open accounts in other countries using other more stable currencies.

I think it ruins more than the culture, it ruins the games.
Giving financial incentives to make idle bots, cheats, etc. for a multiplayer only game, directly harms only the people that wish to play the game. Their job is to make the experience worse for the playerbase while they profit.

cheating doesn't net you more cases per week, it just makes your rank go up because you win more because cheating. the bots are a real issue, though. It harms the price of cases real players 'mine' and like you said it harms people trying to actually play the game those items are intended for.

True. The life of a Christian is not a quest to get to heaven, that's the easy part because Jesus did all the work. The life of a Christian begins with salvation. We live a good life because our main reason to exist is to serve and worship the LORD. We love him as our father so we live a good life out of love, and in return he will bless us in this life. Spreading the gospel to every creature is also part of the Christian life. Unsaved need to hear the word of God in order to get saved.

They've generally made themselves a problem to anyone actually interested in playing the game. Get a rare skin? Flooded by messages for trading. Want to play a game? Bots, cheaters, russians and chinks on mic peddaling their skins. You're always at risk of a determined hacker breaking into your account to get at skins so it's dangerous just having them.

Yeah, I'd say people are pretty pleased with this. Roll out another update to crash prices even more, drive these faggots to extinction.

Steam could, and should, solve the stupid Counterstrike Gambling garbage instantly.

>Create a store
>Sell every single fucking knife/skin/etc at some set price, probably like $50 or something
>Suddenly you now have a price ceiling, so the gambling/trading only works at values less than $50
>Problem immediately goes away or is severely diminished

Instead, they do nothing but these tiny half-measures like this. This won't change much of anything, and we're still gonna have kids gambling on shit just the same as ever. It's stupid. And it's even dumber when you remember that Steam doesn't even need any of this, they have an infinite money-printer already, they don't need to make money off children's gambling, they've chosen to.

Funny that this guy killed himself though, that's a RIP Bozo.
>>
>>724022241
>>724030025
>>724046576
It seriously is an issue, and it's not one that a lot of people think about.

My best friend killed himself, and I learned about it when the cops kicked down my door at 3am to drag me out of the house in handcuffs.

They found a body next to my place, everyone knew he lived with me, and so obviously the prime suspect was me. CCTV from the building/area made it clear that I hadn't been outside since the previous evening, that he'd been alone, that it was clearly just a suicide etcetc, but they only took the handcuffs off me when they found his note.

In short: Shit sucks. If you're gonna kill yourself, please do it in a way that won't implicate your friends/family in a crime.

At least his suicide note was (intentionally) hilarious. I've kept it (I'm not really sure what you're meant to do with something like that), it really captured his personality.

“But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, does injustice, and does according to all the abominations that a wicked man does, will he live?

Your entire country is built upon Jew worship. The Bolsheviks were all Jewish and everyone in your country worships them.

The funniest thing to me is that neither Valve nor traders learned from Artifact to not do this. Artifact flopped hard on launch but it did have a very tiny audience that played it to hoard expensive cards. Well at one point Valve decided to do some rebalancing, nerf OP cards and buff weaker ones, perfectly normal and good things to do for a game that you want people to PLAY. But people didnt PLAY Artifact, they played stocks market IN Artifact. So when OP cards got nerfed, ALL cards became worthless because they can be changed at any moment, so the people playing stocks left.

Traders didnt learn not to put their life savings in Steam inventory, and Valve didnt learn not to... well i want to believe they did it on purpose but it did seem they didnt care to stop gambling sites before, so idk what their stance actually is.
Anyway fuck em both.

they added a new way to create super rare knives, by using shitty "covert" items. It'll all stabilize and the shitty input materials will rise significantly in value.

You're not proving him wrong. Why didn't the son do it where he wouldn't force his parents look at his dead body in the house that they all presumably live in for years together? Because he wanted to make his parents remember the time they found his body each time they pass by his room even after they move out and sell the house in an attempt to lessen the impact (does not work)

If this were 15 years ago everyone would be rightly shitting on this dishonest indignation. What happened to "do it faggot"?
Suicide is an inherently selfish act. There's a reason it's a sin in Christianity. Don't any of you pretend to actually care.
