god forbid someone gets a bit of money from putting hundreds of hours into their favorite game. no, only streamer eceleb faggots get to make any money.
You are a dumb faggot for following them and not realizing what you're actually doing.
>>724054750you're a dumb faggot for assuming you know anything about me. faggot.
>It's YOUR fault ecelebrinos tricked me into putting my real money into digital cuck skins!
>>724054776And how is that portfolio doing now faggot?
>>724054750>>724054825>>724054835look at all these beta faggots who think only content grifters should be allowed to make any money. kys faggots
>>724054872nobody said this btw
I mean honestly laughing at people doing something stupid, shouldn't the internet be for more than that?
>>724054678Imagine pouring thousands of dollars into virtual assets for a game that>can ban you at any time>for any reason>and not tell you why>has plenty of rules in place that should be banning you from making money from their games>can be updated at any time with any number of hypothetical features that tank the marketfrankly, if you feel you lost out on money because of this, cope seethe mald and stay mad. Video games aren't an investment. They're a hobby. And the sooner you terminally online case-fags fuck off the better we'll all be for it.
>>724054678They've got no skin in the game, just ignore them lol.It only makes sense to be speaking about the subject if you have an inventory worth at least a few hundred dollars. These people obviously don't otherwise they'd have a bit of empathy. Personally I'm down a couple hundred which is nothing and I don't care, but I get it.Skins seemed like a pretty safe place to put your money because of the scarcity. They've been consistently going up for a decade but clearly that's not the case anymore. Valve intends to drop the prices.You have to have money to lose it and as long as you learn from this experience, it's not a loss.
>I put my life savings into BingusCoin and I got rugpulled, how could this be happening to me!?>Stop laughing at me, I trusted my favourite eceleb as much as a close friend even though he literally doesn't know I exist!
i was an INVESTORi stood by as you released CSGOi said nothing when you reintroduced it as CS2i paid my fair share for the CHINESE PUMPERSi was there when the MARKET CRASHEDI NEVER PLAYED CS AND NOW I NEVER WILL
Nigga you're not supposed to get money from playing vidya, you're supposed to play for fun
>>724054678>gets a bit of moneyfor their steam wallet. That's not real money.
>>724054678>knife prices got down>Covert prices got upI don't see the problem?
>>724054678get a job, jeetand no, scamming grandmas isn't a job either
>check my inventory from years ago>turns out I have $200 worth of unopened crates
>>724054872Thanks for the money :), now go follow your Chinese friends Ivan.
>>724054776you're on 4chan and you play niggerstrike, i don't need to know anything about you to see that you are a retarded faggot virgin
anyone praying shit like this happens for pokemon cards or any other dumb shit like nfts. i love seeing shortcut fags kick the bucket.
Hahaha!!
Time to get a real job, jeet.
>>724054678If you GOT a bit of MONEY then you would KEEP it. You didn't.You RENTED a bunch of DATABASE ENTRIES to SPECULATE on.I'm pretty sure you can't even get knives by playing the game, they all come from opening crates or trading
>>724054678Videogames as a hobby is consuming media.They do not earn you money.
Imagine treating video game pixels as an investment. Get a fucking job, loser.
guys I'm afraid OP is no longer with us in this realm...
>>724055102>safe place to put your money>because of the scarcity>consistently going up for a decadeThat's not a safe place to put your money in retard
>>724054678But you did make money. You got all those skins worth millions of rupees, remember?
>>724054678>god forbid someone gets a bit of moneyyou got your bit of moneynow go get a bit of a job
>>724055102>>724056143>valve crashes TF2 economy over night carelessly pushing an update because all trading and having a steam marketplace was meant to do is give players more options with what they get in games, never meant to be a virtual casino with real world cashouts>this was in 2019>speculators go 'Hullhrrr they wouldn't do it again right! Safest bet on CSGO skins!">valve does it again>SHOCKEDPIKACHU.JPEG
>>724056316You are right, if you told people back then that this could happen to CSGO and later on CS2 too they would casually laugh it off or call you retarded, this is the best outcome I could've hoped for.
>>724054678shut up tmartin. shouldn't you be running your underage gambling operation?
I'm far happier for the actual players of the game (the masses) who will get to enjoy rare skins for cheaper now. Or even craft them themselves.I fucking wish my Dota arcanas and immortals went to zero and everyone could earn them by playing the game, I don't give a shit about fomo and exclusive bragging rights.
Valve should never have let it get to this point, the whole thing is ridiculous. Maybe they could have found some way to do it more gradually or something. The fact that any of these things were trading for more than like 100 dollars should have been a red flag like 10 years ago and they should have addressed it then. The people committing suicide are also retards, these kind of shakeups always cause huge overreactions, at least wait a month or something to see how the market settles. Unless you're a retard and somehow trading CS skins on margin then there's no reason to off yourself.
>>724054872get fucked lol
>>724054926you're 25 years too late
>>724056316Why you replying to me baka
>>724054678i boughtered tf2 hats I thought were cool years ago and I wouldn't give a fuck if they dropped in value to $1 tomorrow. because I got them for ME, not as some gay nfts for kids "investment"
So basically this is good for people who actually play the game and bad for fags treating a game like a stock market? Sounds based.
It really is spiteful mutant behavior, but who really cares?
>>724054678No you are wrong. Sorry.
Most thirdies are human garbage, so yes, I take pleasure in their suffering.
>>724054678You shouldn't have invested in solely one thing. Should have diversified
>>724054678Wow I didn't think about it like that.....let me laugh even harder!
I didn't even know about this crazy underground world where Chinese retards use Steam as a stock market.Is it possible to make enough money playing CS to buy games on Steam for free? How much can I expect to earn per week if I play, say, 3 hours on Saturday?
>>724054678Imagine putting all your money into a virtual asset controlled 100% by a single corporate entity that absolutely does not give a single shit about your "investments". A fool and his money are easily parted.
>week from now I can buy a cool looking knife for 1/10th the price it was beforeI dont see the problem
I'm not even touching the fact that people think gambling items owned by a private corporation are an investmentBut who the fuck puts all their money into their investments? The rule is always don't invest it if you can't afford to lose it
>the destructionknives aren't 2000 fucking dollars anymore, we're going back to 2015 prices, this is only been a positive for the rest of the playerbase>but muh red skinsRED SKINS ARE ASTRONOMICALLY LESS RARE THAN KNIVES, THEY WILL ALWAYS BEN UNBOXED EN MASSE
Isn't it a good thing that skin prices go down so that people can buy them cheaper?
>>724059590>isn't it a good thing house prices are going down and all the bankers are jumping off buildings cause they lost their life savings?Psychopath with no empathy
>>724059647>things being cheaper for the general populace is bad because some gamblers lost moneyI see.
>>724054678Did skins from the previous CS carry over to CS2?
>>724059738shut the fuck up tankie
>>724059647>bankers jumping off buildingsoh no...?
>>724059647real life markets are regulated, counter strike skins are not. next time realize that before you invest in a private companies game you fucking retard
>>724056857i always hated that they started doing exclusive arcanas, it's just so lame
>>724059647if you arent gonna flip burgers at least do a flip yourself on the way down
>>724054991ok to be fair valve does not ban people lmao, you can literally say whatever you want across all their games and you won't get banned
>>724054678lol, you bet your kneecaps on a volatile digital commodity and got pwnt, lmao
>>724055678based. dunk on faggot op.
For most people this update is a positive, and im sure there are way more people with hundreds of hours in the game who are happy they have a chance to get more skins
The best point to sell was when CS2 was announced, which is what I did. I'm still riding that high and straight up bought myself a Steam Deck from that and reinvested in cases.A spike in demand like that was once in a lifetime and people riding out past that were taking a serious risk.
>>724055785>pokemonReminder that GameFreak's incompetence at preventing hackers is the sole reason this hasn't already happened over shiny pokemon.
>>724054678AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAATHIRDIE
>>724055678This guy gets it
>>724054678>god forbid someone gets a bit of money from putting hundreds of hours into their favorite gameI played csgo for hundereds of hours and I made more money playing it than I spent for buying it, and never bought any skin with my moneythanks to retards like you, even the shitty skins and cases you get weekly can be sold on the marketI bought a few cheap skins that I liked with that money and even a few games during the steam salesyou just suck at managing money, because you have more money than sense
>>724054776>assumes shit>"You dare assume shit about ME?!"You're a faggot for this and for thinking any digital item you do not directly control was ever a safe investment. Scarecity is the name of the game and they can always take it away at any time.
>>724054678Get fucked retard. Next time gamble on stonks which are protected by SEC.
