This is not funny. This is not a joke. This is some of the most vile things I've seen a corporation do. Valve has knowingly and willingly ruined the lives of countless people without a care about the consequences of their actions after this scam of an update. People with lives, families, plans, hopes, futures. We SHOULD NOT be celebrating when big billionaire corpo suits stick to the little guy who is just trying his best to get ahead.
yawn
>pc vegan "problems"lol don't care, nigga
>>724229198>I gambled and I lost!Ok?
>>724229198They taught them a valuable lesson, don't invest all your savings in video game cosmetics. You should all be thanking Valve.
You own nothing.
>GabeN fucked my tiny ESL asshole>1. My sphincter is shattered>2. Absurd size, a dangerous specimen>3. The juices will ultimately backfire>4. A buckbraking, not an update
I guess we can say that CS2 is now an hero shooter!
>>724229378Clio please go
>>724229251rent free
>>724229198
>>724229198i want this to happen to cryptobros btw
>>724229541It did a few years ago but I agree that it should happen more often.
You probably think $shitcoin666 is a stable investment too, you Russian mongoloid.
>>724229448HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
>>724229198>We SHOULD NOT be celebratingWell i am. Fuck you and fuck skin sellers.
>>724229541This does happen to them almost every day. The only ones making money either are cheating the system by making the shitcoins or actually make their money from other sources such as selling courses or books to gullible people.
>>724229198cs bitches gotta accept their pixels are worhtless
>>724229198I hope Valve makes it so that tradable items, after being traded once, become non-tradable permanently. This way, items are either sold via the market to end-users who want them, or traded via Steam inventories to end-users who actually want the item (because once traded they are stuck on that account and no longer an "investment").
If you use the term "5 red skins for 1 knife" you need to step back and realize how detached from real life you are
>>724229198lol just get a real job
>invest everything in an unregulated market controlled by one company facing significant risk of regulatory intervention>lose>somehow this is anyone's fault but yours
My mom invested savings of their life into the skins and now they are worthless, we are feeding our family in tge food bank
>>7242291981) You're acting as if anyone cares about this little 'upset'2) You're acting like Valve is the same as any other publicly-traded company. It isn't. It's entirely private with no shareholders to hold a gun to their head.3) You're acting like there wasn't an inherent problem with the marketplace to begin with, once which Valve saw and is attempting to remedy.4) You're acting like these people shouldn't be held responsible for their own actions5) u a bitch
>>724230004not only that, but do it against the rules of the platform issuing the items. The reason they were worth so much is because they were traded by unsanctioned third party websites breaking the TOS because people thought they deserved more than the steam marketplace cap of $2000 purchases.
I made bank account to pay out all money from skins and they are gone now, it makes me so angry that I'll be looking for a job, thanks
>>724229198No crying in the jewish casino brownoid.
valve is helping people. video game skins aren't a real commodity. its predatory to make a business whose main business model is selling virtual items, like star citizen. good mtx shouldnt have users spending more than a normal msrp for a game.
>>724229198I got vac banned from cs, so meh, who cares. I only only play single player anime games now
>>724229198Oh husband, you put all money into counto strikeu skins. Now we are homeress.
they need to triple down and make knifes even easier to get, give some for free after meeting certain requirementswhy bother making all these cool knives and only making them available to autistic """"investors"""" who don't even use them?
>>724229198Valve explicitly use their "economy" as a testing ground for academics. Anyone that thought it was a stable investment market is a retard that deserves their losses.Also the idea that Steam/Valve relies on the skin economy is hilariously stupid. Steam rakes money in hand-over-fist, they've owned the PC game distribution market for decades now
>>724229198>investing in immaterial assets that have no functional value outside of what you can upsell them for and which can be changed or adjusted by the creator independent of you at any timeyou get what you fucking deserve
funny
>>724229198skin skinniggers alive
>>724229541It will happen again after this US admin, they're deep into it and pumping the whole sector but that can't last forever. We probably have a couple more years of crypto doing well though for now
>>724229198This was written by A.I.
>>724229198Valve didnt start the market, people did
>>724230004That is how the free market works baby, except the little people don't get their golden parachute.
https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/61F0-72B7-9A18-C70B>Restrictions>What kind of Steam Wallet and item listing restrictions apply?>Currently we are restricting Steam Wallet balances to $2000. In other currencies, the limit will be set to a value close to $2000. We also limit the maximum price of a single listing on the market to $1800 (or similar for other currencies). You will be restricted from listing items for sale in the Community Market if the existing balance in your Steam Wallet, plus the sale price of the item(s), would together exceed the $2000 limit. We may be adjusting the Steam Wallet balance limit, or otherwise changing this restriction, in the future. Note that, if you have multiple Steam accounts, balances for all Steam Wallets associated with all of your accounts will be aggregated for purposes of applying this limit.>>Are there minimum or maximum sales prices for items in the Community Market?Currently there is no minimum sales price, although we may decide to impose a minimum price in the future. Currently, the maximum price for any particular item is $1800.

@here
>>724229198This is so funny. I used to be very critical of Valve, with the hypocrisy of people deliberately ignoring the issues plaguing Steam.But now, I fucking kneel, GabeN. You gathered this crowd of useless people, you took their money as they sold their stuff to each other, you made them addicted to it, JUST TO RUIN THEM IN THE END.BRAVO GABEN. I'm sorry I thought you were an asshole. You're not.
>>724229198REPRINT THE HOWL NEXT
well at least they can use the knives to kill themselves oh wait
NO CRYING IN THE CASINO.
>>724229198I'm glad Valve is finally doing something, but they took WAY too long. They should've done something fucking years ago, but Valve loves unregulated marketplaces far more than games. Them having to deal with thousands of deranged Russian and Chinese """"investors"""" and its repercussions is their own fault. All this does is remind me that Valve chose easy money over everything else in the last 15 years.
People go ballistic and delusional when they lose money, and believe their walls of text can reverse the changeCS2 isn't holding up the whole platform, and basically everyone else sees this as a good pro-consumer move by Valve
>>724234479Valve does not interact with the third party grey markets though. There was nothing to deal with.
Honestly, I bet some Valve dev was laughing like a maniac before pushing that update like they knew what would happen, but it’s not really their fault
>>724229589>>724229796Meh. On long term bitcoin is doing just fine. Niggers who want to get rich instantly shitted their pants during the 2019-2022 crashes, but even then just holding on till today nets you good returns.
>>724229448Fuck off Depp
Lmao dem chinks got cooked
>>724234968It's not like they're unaware of the 3rd party trading and the amount of money being passed around. They knew what would happen.At the end of the day this was always a purely speculative, volatile "market" barely any better than NFTs and people who lost their entire life savings to it are morons.
>>724229541Seething woman, honestly
>>724229198"Investment" should never be a word used describing video games yet niggers like this are everywhere. Live service trash is poison.

I don't think people understand why all the thirdies are losing their minds over this.From what I gather, CS2 players who have these knives can 'rent' them out for dosh. Many thirdies have latched onto that, and think CS2 is their way out of poverty. All they need to do is buy knives, and rent them out for continual income.The sudden devaluing of the knives not only means they lost a lot of their investment, but it also means the rental market for these knives has evaporated and no one is willing to pay as much to rent one anymore. Millions of thirdies are realizing they aren't just a few years away from retiring anymore, and it was all a pipe dream. Hence the nuclear rage you are seeing.Not much different than the crypto bros who thought they would retire off of having a stack of crypto they were 'staking'.
I've been repeating since like 2006 that steam isn't trustworthy and you don't own anything on steam.But you didn't listen and you continue to not listen.
>>724238498>The sudden devaluing of the knives not only means they lost a lot of their investment, but it also means the rental market for these knives has evaporated and no one is willing to pay as much to rent one anymoreoverall true with chinks but baseless panichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGMpM_kQJVA> The CS2 market just crashed...

MY RETIREMENT KNIFE
>>724229198The faggot's argument falls apart in the first paragraph when he talks about how Valve's throne sits on the stable market that they built". Most of the people throwing shitfits about the CS knife skin collapse were doing their transactions on grey market websites which Valve has no part of and makes no money from. If anything, grey market sites pose a threat to them because it discourages people from using the Steam marketplace.
>>724234974>On long term bitcoin is doing just fineLmaooo
>>724229198The price on skins on 3rd party sites is not Valve's problem. Maybe if they used the marketplace like a good boy Gaben wouldn't need to "fix" things.
>>724229448I still don't get it
>>724230004>unregulatedThe EU's laws caused this
This is going to be my final post /v/. I lost everything because of Valve. I invested everything into CS knives and now I've got nothing. My car's been repo'd, my house foreclosed. My wife left me for some dude who works at Walmart saying he's got more financial security than I ever will, and my kids won't talk to me anymore now that they know they won't be going to college. I'm going to end it all by throwing myself off the roof of my house. It's a one story bungalow but by God I'll make it work even if I have to do it a hundred times.

>>724229198I will continue laughing at idiots losing their minds over their NFT knife collections imploding.
>>724243260Both sides are gay. People who think they deserve some form of fame or recognition for jokes and shitposts they make on 4chan are fags. The anonymity is part of the charm. You make the shitpost, people laugh, and you just enjoy the spectacle from the sideline as people react to it. That's how it should be.
i mean the market is up you should've bought the dip
this will never fail to amuse

>>724229198diversify your portfolio next time
>>724234974Bitcoin is literally the only crypto that is remotely stable, because banks and hedge funds are just treating it like a way to store value at this point
Investing into fucking toys is the most retarded thing possible, second only to investing into fucking digital toys.
>>724229198You can't even get cash out of skins without an illegal transaction through a third party. This fact is what makes it funny.
imagine killing yourself and your family has to tell people it was because you lost your life savings speculating on the prices of different colored knives in a video game
>>724229448WTF is "an hero", stupid ESL?
>>724248461you must be new here
>>724249065He is baiting oyu.
You think that's bad, but you are forgetting Valve has always actively hated its customers.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.
>>724229198I hope anyone who thought csgo knives were a smart investment gets economically ruined, this is based
>>724229198shit like this happened with Black Squad too, when they rotated publishers, we lost crates, we lost free gibs, they locked skins out of market, they reintroduced them after a while, still it took them an overnight decision to kill that window, now, if we want to sell skins that in the past were worth 0.50 mmuricadollas and now they are maybe worth 10 times that, if not 1000 times that amount, we simply can't, cause valofe jews are keeping skins hostages and if we don't pay to repack the skins we can't sell them on the market.Just FYI, on 2018/2019, I literally had 90% of Halloween and Xmas skins which I literally got mostly for free, for some I spent no more than 80€.They removed the ability to trade some of them, like an idiot I did convert most of them in game value, on 2020ish when valofe jews took charge I was selling the remaining crapload for 3 times that amount I spent, I do still have some leftovers cause they tactically banned me when they noticed I was making more money than them. When they literally put the skins as hostage we warned Valve, got no fucking response, I was planning to part ways with those skins and make 6 times that amount, problem is, the game is fucking dead, valofe jews don't deserve my money, they also added game guard which literally can't be installed on my rig. I do have a enough skins to buy two fucking Decks, but I simply don't want to
>>724252129you planning on taking shots of bleach or doing a cool flip out the window?
>>724229198You deserve it for performing in illegal (by Steam rules) trading.
>>724229198>Valve has knowingly and willingly ruined the lives of countless people without a care about the consequences of their actions after this scam of an updateLet this be a lesson not to invest your life savings into virtual knives for a video game.
