thank god, its funny how ingame currencies collapsing is actually better for the consumer in most cases and is only loudly bemoaned by speculative investers

speculative investers

I'm glad they got burned, tbh. The ranking of "things you should invest in" goes something like:

  • land
  • stocks
  • bonds
  • long-term savings & investment accounts
  • precious metals
  • currencies from different countries
  • fine art from well-known artists or notable antiques
  • literally anything that isn't collectibles
  • no seriously...anything that isn't comics, cards, toys, or games
  • LITERALLY ANYTHING
  • collectibles
  • crypto currency
  • NFTs
  • everything else
  • garbage
  • landfills to put your garbage in (although landfills are actually useful so they probably go above collectibles)
  • garbage even garbage people who collect garbage don't want
  • lottery tickets and other gambling schemes
  • video game skins or items

CS:GO and other Valve Marketplace stuff goes down there at the bottom.

Roll garbage a few spaces up - some people get by on scrap metal and stuff like that

Yeah but if your consumers are children playing video games, and getting dragged into this by other (older and friendgroup) advertisers, it stops being funny.
