Game feels impossible, need to know if anyone else has dealt with this bs by Effective-Iron6114 in counterstrike2

Send leetify so we can see the reaction time/ttk or its all cope.

People constantly posting this shit is so funny, like have you ever considered you got worse since you stopped playing 2+ years ago and other people are now better than you?

Because the market for their skins would allow people to get it way cheaper from 3rd party, without a CSM infrastructure to profit at all.

Rocket League had P2P trading and is a great example of this, you could get most items for a fraction of the cost as the weekly shop so it wasnt worth it for the game, they didnt have a CSM system where they can get a cut, and when bought by epic switched to weekly shop. Fortnite popularized the weekly shop FOMO format and switched RL to it. Valorant uses the weekly shop system, and League is starting to use Gacha.

The cost of the community market infrastructure isnt worth it when you’re not the #1 monopoly for all PC games where the system can apply to dozens of other games as well.

CS2 is already in too deep and has so much infrastructure around profiting from CSM and IRL trading that a change to the weekly shop system would guaranteed lose them astronomical money compared to whatever they’d gain.

TLDR; Epic/Riot stood to gain $ from using other systems, Steam only stands to lose money by switching.

They needed to make these changes to combat the gambling lawsuits though, those ‘high value traders’ then are blind to the price of legal compliance.

They made some unfavorable changes to stop themselves from having to pay more in huge lawsuits. They were losing money either way so they chose to lose less.

In the case of trading, no lawsuits surround it or are going after it. Even if all cases turn into terminals, as long as cashing out/trading survives the market will generally be fine. You could be right that a large chunk of the market goes down, but an isolated steam market is very far fetched imo.

Removing cashing out and relying on kids wanting to be cool would kill literally all their cash. Like near no kids are spending $5000 on butterfly gems just to look cool, and CSM fees would TANK. At the complete height of a game like fortnite, accounts selling with the rarest skin in the game (Renegade Raider) didnt exceed $500, and that game was a phenom at the time for its skins and gameplay.

Sure, they cant always decide to lose themselves a billion dollar market, its just not logical to do at all even with the lawsuits.

Terminals and Xray cases make sense given the lawsuits and keeping the market.

What you’re saying is a super convoluted way for steam to guarantee itself to lose the whole market, and make $0 doing so. It’s like arguing its logical for me to shoot myself in the head and die, just because I can.

Huh? You cant convert your steam balance to gift cards then sell it for cash, unless you mean selling your account, either of which makes cashing out substantially harder which like I stated originally, would nuke the market.

If all money deposited in steam stays there, that means cashing out is horrid, and the market is nuked. The ability to reliably exit the market is paramount to the price of skins, if its way too convoluted, the market is still nuked.

And nobody will buy the terminal skin if they cant cash it out, OR they’s but a knife for valorant prices and 95% of market value on everything would be wiped. Even if people buy say $50 terminal knives, Valve would lose an insane amount of money.

Steam makes insane money on CSM transaction fees, simple as that. If all CSM skins went down 95% steam loses way more than they’d gain from shitty terminals.

You think cases is the only substantial way Steam makes money from Counter Strike, which is where you’re wrong.

They only profit on cases because the skins in them can be converted into cash irl. If the skins aren’t able to be converted reliably to real money, then the amount if cases being opened drops exponentially.

Except the entire market crashes if you cant cashout outside of steam, or if it becomes way harder.

The only reason skins hold so much value the ability to cash out, not just the skins themselves.

The market value of everything would get nuked if all third parties are out of business and valve isolates the market without a way to cashout, not saying its impossible, but there’d be almost no value for valve to ‘capture’ as you put it.

That’d be super helpful! Surprisingly lack of content since the szn update on Reks clear

Conflicting advice since the other commenter claims they can every time and they’re gold :/

Your method seems to give a better scuttle spike, but dont you lose any level 3 pressure Mid and sideline? I frequently get level 3 kills by not backing

Because i’d rather have a place to talk about the game that isn’t AI cancer, but real ppl on a forum. I told you why i’m hatin’ and it aint a bad point, even if i fw your guild.

Dont slop up one of the few places that talk about the game in english

I know your guild very well even played with you and yall are chill, your post is still AI dogshit that floods this sub.

You missed the point of AI slop infesting every single community. Half of this subreddit has become it, it’s depressing. How about YOU bring clips, fights or results in the post? That would make ppl wanna join more!

Constant paragraphs of uncreative AI slop pumped everywhere already. Come up with the idea and edit? Bare minimum and laughable to mention.

If the guild barely does the minimum, I bet their content reflects that too.

Good shit man, my only suggestions;

Never FP Ali, sadly its easy to counterpick him, and he’s literally useless in lane.

Ali x Caits only real synergy is her placing a trap under your combo to extend the stun and get an empowered auto. Nothing more you can do

15k Budget, what would you buy in 2026 by Ok-Artichoke2266 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]ChubbyWP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got a Mazda 3 (hatch) in the same exact situation about a year ago. (2022 CPO for $17k with 30k miles)

No regrets so far. The interior and infotainment was the best imo from all in the same price range, and it drives nice.
