I was already barely holding it together, bills piling up, job hanging by a thread, and now Valve comes along and annihilates what little future I had left. My entire retirement plan was tied up in CS2 knives. My dream of financial freedom? Gone in one patch. I’ve spent years grinding, believing in the market, believing in Valve, and this is how they repay me. My family doesn’t understand. My girlfriend just asked why I’m shaking, and I told her it’s because my Butterfly Doppler is now worth less than a gas station sandwich. Valve didn’t just ruin a game. They ruined me. Soon everything will end.
