VALVE NEEDS TO ANSWER FOR THIS - CS2 Market Just Lost $2 BILLION
Are you kidding me right now? The latest trade-up update just TANKED the CS2 economy by TWO BILLION DOLLARS. That's not a typo - $2,000,000,000 in market value GONE because Valve decided to "fix" something that wasn't broken.
I've been trading and collecting skins for YEARS, and this is absolutely unacceptable. People have invested real money into this economy, and Valve just pulls the rug out from under us with ZERO warning. Collections that took months or years to build are now worth a fraction of what they were.
This isn't just about money - it's about trust. How can we invest in the CS2 economy when Valve can just destroy it overnight? They need to understand this affects REAL PEOPLE with REAL investments.
We need to make our voices heard.
There's a petition at https://steamcalculator.gg/en/petition and I'm urging EVERYONE who cares about the CS2 economy to sign it. Whether you're a casual trader or have thousands invested, this affects ALL of us.
Valve needs to:

Address this disaster publicly
Compensate players for their losses
Consult the community BEFORE making economy-breaking changes

SIGN THE PETITION. SHARE THIS POST. LET'S MAKE VALVE LISTEN.

Man, whenever there's a big issue with a game, that is the one. FUBAR to say the least.

It's a mystery of the world how people still play that game given it's notoriety for cheating, hacking, compromising accounts and every other foul matter gaming has to offer.

All for some generic run and gun horse hockey.

Play Arma.

Valve needs to answer for nothing. Its their game, they can completely abandon CSGO item trading tomorrow and NOBODY could do anything about it.
The whole 3rd party trading of CSGO items for money is not allowed anyway.

Honestly Valve should just nuke the whole trading system, just allow the market place and then only for set basic prices. This whole trading kindergarten has been a blight on Steam for years.

I sold off most of my stash back during the summer. Over 80 knives. I still have more from the past 13 years but that was the majority of them.

This only made me feel like I made the right choice at the right time.

It was the correct decision for Valve to do this. Keeps people on Steam for trading and buying/selling items and will eventually decrease the amount of hijacked accounts from 3rd party phishing logins.

:nkCool:

Respectfully, OP-this is better suited for the CS2 subforum. I know it’s a game by Valve, but not everyone on Steam has played it.

I, for instance, have never touched it and have no idea what you’re talking about. The only thing that’s ever made me money on Steam (cents) is trading cards.

Seems there's details left out and that they're leveling the field for being able to possibly acquire items, over time.

Best to post about this in the CS2 hub where it belongs, not so much here.

It's not like Valve has no other way of making money, as big as the skin market is.. There is plenty of other money that they make, especially with steam deck and maybe in the future even more.. Besides, Valve has already made plenty of money anyway.. If they were to completely drop the entire skins market, it wouldn't cause them much issues...

And as other users have said, the skin market has been a stain on steam for years by now.... It is imo the number 1 reason as to why scam websites and everything around them exist... It is the biggest reason why accounts get compromised and then sold off on those very same scam websites to greedy people and children who think that they can make bank off of the skins on those accounts, not realizing ofc that a lot of those accounts are also banned and that the skins can't be sold...

And like Ogami said above, Valve should indeed nuke the entire trading system.. Make it so that skins are completely locked to the Steam itself and can't be sold off outside of it... It would not completely help with everything as accounts themselves might still be compromised/hijacked just to sell them on those platforms.. But at least it's a good start, as demand and supply will defnitely go down when skins can't be traded anymore... And While we're at it, Valve needs to do this for every single game on steam that gives you skins you can sell right now (Dota/Team fortress, etc.. Etc.. Etc..)...

Something needs to be done..

CS should not have an economy, it should just be an fps. If you spent money on skins, you deserve this.

What are any of these in game items going to be worth. Once Valve the owner closes down the games servers. All of these things are fated to become worth zero dollars. Whether it happens, next week, next month, next year, or next decade. Functionally speaking it's a Ponzi scheme.

Where the money from new investors pays off the old investors. There's nothing being harvested, being mined, or being manufactured. In other words no wealth is being produced. It's just a very elaborate shell game being played.

That market was always a zero sum game. In fact seeing as there are transaction fees. You've all been losing money on the whole. This isn't a stock market you've all been playing. Just a game made to look like it was a real stock market, but even if it were a true honest to goodness market.

Nothing that happened today doesn't happen on the regular. Within real stock markets whenever there's a policy change. The fed raises or lowers interest rates, and this kind of thing will happen. Whenever you play markets or gamble you eventually lose.

It's a step in the right direction. I'll be glad when Valve eliminates the gambling all together and closes all avenues of trading off-site.
