Gabe has blood on his hands now
Based
skill issue
There's an alleged video recording of the Discord call suicide yet I cannot find it anywhere
>>724044778>he bought?>...>crash eet.
>>724044778Why would you kill yourself over this?
Game devs can legally kill people just by pushing an update. What a time we live in
bwahahaha
sell everything while you still can
>>724044778
>>724044778>killing yourself over a market switch upGod damn, it's like the great depression for these fags all over again.
>>724044778I got blood on my dick
So if I get it rightso far the skins were either like a gatcha, or you were able to buy specific skins from a player, and now you can buy specific skins from steam?
>>724044970kek
>>724044778>Killing yourself over some counter strike skins
I don't get it. Why would you stake your life on trading virtual knives?
>>724045032are you fucking a dead body
>>724045059not specific, its still a random gloves/knife + its untradable iircchinks are just killing themselves because they sell the skins outside of steam like an NFT
>>724044778It's not gape ben's fault retards use rare video game garbage as investments.
>>724044778Nobody kills themselves over Discord chat. Fuck off you lying brown people.
>>724044907Some people think losing 10k USD of assets over a policy change is life ruining.Actual traders would take this as a life lesson and diversify their portfolio into actual securities.Buy gold.
>>724045181I saw someone kill himself over youtube live once, it could happen
>>724044778>chink and russian bloodlegitimately worth nothing
>>724044778>Gabe has blood on his hands nowNice knives you've got there sport. Be a real shame if something happened to them.
>>724045098Because the liquidity is retardedly low. it was easy to double or triple your money with the chinks money
>>724044778>Laugh reacting to a suicide Some people don't deserve to live
NO CRYING IN THE CASINO
>>724044778>kys over a weapon skin HAHAHAHAHA!Good fucking riddance, these people are a plague to the gaming community.
>>724045432If you kill yourself over couple thousand dollars, I'm sorry but that's fucking hillarious.
>>724044778context?
>>724045519>couple thousand dollarsI lost 1.5 million, that's right, I was hoarding 5 knives! Now it's all gone!
https://youtu.be/jixsOzH1Lrwbro thinks hes a IDF CT
>muh orange knife with neon blue accents
>>724045432If you kill yourself because you buy a fucking 3D model for investment, you deserved to be laughed at.
>>724045548Bidenomic
>>724045432Yeah, and they did the world a favor and killed themselves. What's the problem?
>>724045098They're mostly Russian and Chinese. Their actual legal stock markets are a joke replete with immense corruption, and only the rich can make money in those countries. Thus they turn to something like a virtual economy where they can put some time in and make 20, 30, 40, 50k or more in US dollars. Thats' a lot for them. The OP guy might have had 40K USD that he lost. That's more or less the life savings for a third worlder.
Sell off your Strange Kritzkrieg and Strange Gunslinger now. Just have a hunch.
>>724045095That's what happens when retards don't diversify their portfolio and the one thing they invested in crashes. That shit brought down whole nations.
>>724044778God i hope that this is fake, sounds like a joke in a tv show. Oh these faggots, go to McDonalds and work there. What did they think, that this kind of business model would always be sustainable?
>>724046373It is.
>>724046373You're Russian or Chinese, and suddnely you just lost 58 thousand dollars of American money not their own monopoly money. Russians are already a depressed lot, and east asians are extremely emotional and over react. Of course they're gonna off themslves!
>>724044778based
>>724044778>implying Gabe actualy made any input or decision over this instead of just chilling in his countryside house while getting passive incomeishiggydiggy
>>724044778>BLYAT!What was going through his head as he jumped off the balcony
>killing yourself because you lost all your moneyKWAB
>>724044778Why would anyone "invest" in a fucking video game item? It makes absolutely no sense.
>>724044907>be chink>take loan from loanshark to purchase digital knives>make money by renting those knives to players>suddenly the price of knives goes down 50 %>nobody wants to rent the knives anymore>can't pay back loan>will be abducted and sold into slavery/prostitution and/or get your organs harvested and/or get killed slowly for a dark web snuff videoI get why someone would jump out of a window instead of facing Chinese loan sharks.
>>724045059You can trade five of what you don't want for one of what you want. Before you had to gotcha roll or buy from another player. Now that people can just get what they want prices crashed. Since you could just buy 5 really cheap items and swap them for a really expensive item.
>>724046738>rent knivesWhat the fuck is going on?There are rentoids for cosmetic skins now?
>>724045354His knives are still there though. Nothing happened to them.
>>724044778>Gaben singlehandedly solving turdworlder overpopulation problemDare I say, ZAZED?
>>724044778>nowsomeone post the china black egg post

>>724045432Yeah, I think that's why they were laugh reacting
>>724046817Not anymoreGabeN has liberated the rentoids
>>724044778I really hope this happens with the Pokemon TCG investors some day
He already had.Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
The fuck Tyrone gone do?
>>724044778Prove he actually killed himself. Prove anyone actually killed themselves.Forced Discord meme for le ebin engagement bait. Show me someone actually doing it.
You guys are shitting on chinks but I've been browsing wechat, bilibilo, baidou, etc. and more people are celebrating. The common sentiment is that everyone is thankful Valve finally popped the bubble caused by retarded skin traders.Here let me let you in on the most common word the chinks were saying when the update happened:>GOOD RIDDANCE YOU SKIN FLIPPING MARKET MANIPULATING DOGS
If your business is working, how do you not have any actual money saved? I know you need to keep reinvesting into your business, but you also got bills to pay and the bank isn't going to take video game knives as collateral. They tell you a company's main priority is making the most money it can, but the real goal is to give the owners a big comfy financial safety net for when they bail on it.
>>724047095lmao honestly based slants i love seeing everyone rally against skincels
>>724047083
imagine raising a child only to find out he was using discord. heartbreaking.
>>724047174Obviously you scale to infinity for all the money
god i love deathpraise jesus
>>724045059No you don't have it right, and neither do 99% of the retards on this website.It's very simple, Valve introduced skins to the game. You get skins by playing the game. They sometimes drop at the end, or you get a case. A case has a set of unique skins of varying rarity (blue, purple, pink, red, etc.) and a special rare knife. $2.50 to open.With the gun skins, you could take 10 of the same rarity and convert them into 1 skin of the next rarity. But you could not convert the red skins into anything.Knives could only be unboxed, very rare. Certain knives with certain patterns are especially rare.Now after 12 years, Valve made it so you can trade up 5 red skins for a knife. This has caused knife prices to crash as many people can craft the previously very rare items.You can either sell or buy skins on the Steam Market, but you can also to the same on third party websites for real money. I used to trade back in 2013, made thousand in real money. It's very safe and easy to cash out, especially now.If I'd kept some of the skins that I had back then, they would have been worth many 10s of thousands of dollars today.So the reason why this is big news is because seemingly out of nowhere, a stable 12 year old market that has seen insane growth each year was just tipped on it's head.People that are happy about this are just coping to make their shitty lives seem better (it's not).I haven't been into CS trading for about 12 years now, so this doesn't affect me. I had no knives in my inventory, just a few skins (that I paid $0 for) worth about $4k appreciating in my inventory.I find this interesting more than anything.
>>724047329>So the reason why this is big news is because seemingly out of nowhere, a stable 12 year old market that has seen insane growth each year was just tipped on it's head.Insane growth exclusively caused by people jerking each other off and pumping it to high heavenThat growth was a fucking meme were just bringing shit back to a healthy state
>mfwGaben lost
>>724044778If only someone manages to make scalpers kill themselves
>>724047621>he doesnt realize that most people are happy with the change lmao
>>724045868>The OP guy might have had 40K USD that he lost. That's more or less the life savings for a third worlder.nigga that's a lot even for America considering the average lives paycheck to paycheck
>>724044778Steam 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 diminishedInstead, 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.
>>724044778This is all bread and circuses. You're entertained by some nothingburger that he himself set up and he himself un-set up like a monke looking at a circus or colisseum (to go with the bread n circus analogy) or keys jiggling. You get entertained by this and spend $800 dollars buying indie shovelware and AAA shovelware and AA shovelware on Steam and giving a million billion for this CEO fella to spend on yachts.
>>724044778Can't wait when inevitable gacha crash happened.
>>724046738Who the fuck rent a videogame item? How the fuck does that work? Can't the renter simply just run off with the knives?
>>724044778>nowI'm willing to bet more than one person got into debt and an heroed because fatso enabled gambling for children.Fuck that piece of lard.
>>724044778>now you are simply unaware of now many actual terrorists used steam as a way of communicating over the years
>>724048242>Who the fuck rent a videogame item? How the fuck does that work?It's a pretty common practice in KMMOs to sell cosmetics or powerups with expiration dates, so when the duration is up you need to buy them again. This is the same thing as "renting a videogame item"
>1000s of slavs and chinks are unaliving themselves and you're laughing?
Oooooof but that is peak stupidity
>>724044778Philosophically how far away from an indirect action do you need to be away from it to not be held responsible? Lets examine two extremes of this scale. Here in your example, gaben has perhaps ordered the cs2 team to increase supply of rare skins, causing the price of these items to decrease. Some people have, stupidly, risked great deals of their money by treating these as security assets and have had their wealth wiped out, causing them to off themselves. Gabes actions or lack of action means a currency had less or greater value. Then, lets look at you, having a job and making US dollars. Your actions alone of paying taxes and going to work may only be a drop in the bucket to keep the united states dollar valued as it is. Are you responsible for every bomb dropped on a foreigner, or does it not matter as much because millions of other people would also need to stop paying taxes for your actions to have real effects? But what if gabe wasnt one person, and he was a comittee of a thousand people, or a million people? Would they each bear 1/1000th the responsibility for someone offing themselves? Do you bear a responsibility equal to your tax contributions divided by total income collected across millions of people?
>>724048362I was gotten by that as a kid with maplestory. I didn't realize how fucking retarded renting out digital shoes for 90 days was
>>724047898Steam gets a cut from trades. It's entirely in their interests to let the market grow as out of hand as possible.
>>724044778Real gambling addicts kill themselves just before making it big
>>724044964THISONCE A WEEK LONG BAN ON NEW KNIVES GOES OFF IT'S GONNA CRASH EVEN MOREGABEN IS TRYING TO GET RID OF THE CASES BECAUSE OF THE EUTHE ONLY REASON TO OPEN CASE WAS TO GET A GOLDNOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THISJUST SELL
>>724046817>>724048242The market is distorted because there's speculators, casinos and the Russian mafia laundering money through these digital items. These kind of aberrations are bound to happen when a market is distorted like this and items are overvalued.
>>724047095They're just like Pokémon card speculators: nobody actually likes them.
>>724048702They only take cuts from purchases in the community market, and the cap there is $1800. The items that are sold for ludicrous prices are sold through third-parties (and for real money, against Steam's ToS), and traded directly through bots, so Steam doesn't get a cut.
>>724047706Gaben lost
>invested my life savings in dota arcanas instead Close call
Let me be clear: I DON'T GIVE A FUKKKING SHIT
>>724049040calm down obanma
Got it on video?
>>724044778Good.Let it be a lesson to everyone else who considers something similarly retarded.What kind of lunatic thinks digital knives is a good investment to begin with and furthermore that they won't eventually lose all value for some reason or other.
>>724047095Based to be honest. None of these trader barons even like the game or the skins they hold anyway.
I can't help but remember the 2017-2018 /biz/ red wojak meltdowns and I'm laughing my ass off
>>724052343
>>724044778Fucking Owned
Valve didn’t tell them to create a $2B market revolving around polygons with textures. It's their fault for "hvlding" like retards in an economic environment they have no control over.
For real having enough money to invest a significant amount, and then investing that money exclusively in CS knives, is all the proof anyone should need to know that meritocracy is bullshit and it's time to burn everything down. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing i had tens of thousands of dollars tied up in Valve's monopoly money. What a fucking mong
>>724052343What exactly happened back then? I forget.
>>724053361What does idiots being idiots and getting burnt because of it have anything to do with the idea of a meritocracy?
>>724053528Bitcoin dumped in value from ~35k to 18k
>>724053635Ah, right.
>>724045190You know I thought I'd be upset about losing that much money but then I remember I lost about 60k in the stock market during the covid craziness. As long as your not massively negative after your loss, killing yourself is an irrational emotional reaction.
>>724044778Saint Gaben
>>724048362Holy shit anon, I never thought about limited powerups as a form of renting before. I'm starting to rethink some of my past decisions.
>>724053635And now its 110k. Puts it all into perspective. Long term calm investors come out on top.
>>724053546The possession of large quantities of surplus money is often considered a sign of, and reward of, success. I cannot believe I'm having to explain this to you. Christ alive you are stupid.
>>724047095Good. Its not even a game to those fraud addicts.
>>724046738literally how would you rent a knife? there's no system for it, you'd have to trade the knife
>>724054138Being a rich kid being born into a rich family is success? Let's not pretend the chinks throwing themselves off of buildings are because of this knife crash are factory workers. Those do it for different reasons and they have nets.Besides, they clearly didn't have the merit to rightfully have that money and so they lost it. The problem fixed itself, meritocracy works.
>>724044970the clown is more funny
>>724047083/v/ will believe anything.
Chinese \ russian lives have no value at all. They are like... gravel.
>>724045590lmfao
>>7240540507 years might as well be an eternity when it comes to that
>>724046632>What was going through his headprobably the concrete
Ahahah. Hey guys. You could say that... CS2 became an hero shooter!!!
no idea how this trading works, but are you actually able to withdraw the money to you bank account? or are you given 'steambucks' you can spend on games.
>>724044778>3 people thought it was funnyKek
>>724051893True bro, thank god i invested in bored ape NFTs, I got lucky I guess
>>724055034Gravel, huh? That sure is worth a lot!
Can someone explain to me, a retard who knows nothing about the game in question, why people would be distraught enough to kill themselves over this?
>>724044778The fuck happened?
>>724044778>now
>>724045110soon to be
>>724056728WIW HAHAGAHA thanks for laugh begita
>>724057341-> >>724047329
>>724051893It's so unbelievably stupid. Even if Gaben didn't do this, no fucking videogame lasts forever. There will come a time where CS is not played enough to support growth, and it will likely be in our lifetimes.
>>724044778Speculators need to be gassed. they contribute nothing to every field they invade. Speculators fucked the housing market and speculators priced people out of every nerd hobby. Gabe Newell did us a service by taking some of them out.
>>724045852not at least trying to take out a corrupt politician
>>724048387do you really think slavs and chinks have money to buy these expensive items? get real
>>724047621
>>724059082why did he do it
>>724054305Through third parties that will severely penalize the renter if he doesn't return the knife.Also Steam has a system in place in which a player can revert trades unilaterally up to seven days after they're done.
