Oh god dammit this would've been perfect.

[–] Meltyheartlove@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

I actually read your post like that so it was already perfect in my mind catgirl-peace

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

Incredible post

[–] NotALeatherMuppet@hexbear.net 55 points 4 days ago

My unboxed knife, which was going for $115 last week, is down to $55.

As a normal person who did not treat pixels as real assets, I will now take the time to laugh at gamers stupidpol farquaad-point

cs:going bankrupt

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago (2 children)

to be fair to them in a sane country (china probably) there'd be laws against that sort of "investment" of a person's retirement

lmao. Good luck my guy. Also that pfp is a pudgy penguin (an nft). Bagholder

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

There's actually a lot of Chinese investors in the cs2 market afaik. Probably to evade laws.

Valve is reaching Xi levels of corruption busting

digital scarcity is not real

digital commodities have no value

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 20 points 4 days ago (2 children)

And they doubly have no value because it's skins on a weapon, you don't get a boost to accuracy or do more damage with them, it's totally worthless!

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 15 points 4 days ago

The original NFT

[–] bobs_guns@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

But it looks cool though...

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 34 points 4 days ago

Jfc don't "invest" your retirement fund into the kiddie casino, you deserve it and worse

[–] Kefla@hexbear.net 27 points 4 days ago

That's actually a great change, hopefully people will stop playing Counter-Strike as a meme stock / crypto platform and go back to treating it as a fucking game

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago

Objectively good change

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 31 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Hey remember when counter strike was about pwning noobs on de_dust and not stonks?

[–] Blep@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago
[–] gaystyleJoker@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

honestly i remember when all of this started with tf2 hats, this has been a long time coming

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Horse armor, but it has a higher market cap than most American industrial corporations.

[–] gaystyleJoker@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago

horse armor but we pretend there are market forces at work beyond "wow" and "what the"

[–] Fossifoo@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

Honestly I didn't even know CS has weapon skins now. Surely didn't in the beta...

[–] Moidialectica@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago

GOOD change

Where's the best place to sell this crap nowadays? I haven't looked at my inventory since 2018. Apparently my hydroponic AK was worth 10K 3 days ago lol

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 30 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Apparently my hydroponic AK was worth 10K

Wtf get that bag

[–] SickSemper@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

Uhh how much is it worth today?

[–] whogivesashit@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 3 days ago

I just sold all my stuff on csfloat. There's like a 5% or lower fee depending on how much you sell, but I felt like the experience was very smooth

[–] NotALeatherMuppet@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

Oh yeah everyone loves that one. Sorry don't know the best way to turn it into real money; think there's always a third party taking a cut

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I looked up a few options and Skinport looks ok? Depending on the quality level you're looking at 7k for factory new to 1k for the worst ones. Quality level really matters.

Most recent sale was Oct 16th though so it's hard to say what value it holds after these changes. Also to be fair they were selling at 3k just 2 months earlier, so even if the update has halved the value from the 7k price you've only gone back to what it was 2 months earlier.

Should have invested in the Roblox Economy probably

Words and emojis combined cannot properly articulate how hard I just laughed. It's like michael-laugh but from deep within my soul

[–] YeltsinHitByABus@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Oh no! Anyways...

Unrelated but I've lost most my retirement fund and my children's college fund. Anyways, gonna go put my remaining money in TF2 skins.

[–] Gucci_Minh@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago

Should have bought more slurp juices for their AKs if they didn't want to value to go down smh my head

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago

Sounds like a skill issue

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Just made like $90 selling my 2 coverts (were worth $10~ before).

Now I can buy an entire brand new AAA game
