"MIGHTY AND PURE VALVE TAKES ON ILLEGAL GAMBLING!"
GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK
Its like casinos closing poker games in the back of your grandmas house.
How long are they going to act like cases/boxes aren't gambling?
>Gambling is the wagering of money or something of value (referred to as "the stakes") on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods. Gambling thus requires three elements be present: consideration, chance and prize.[1] The outcome of the wager is often immediate, such as a single roll of dice or a spin of a roulette wheel
I guess they didn't like that they didn't have a cut of the "illegal gambling" and just found a perfect excuse of cutting these sites profits without the people chimping out at them.
DAILY REMINDER THAT YOU DONT OWN YOUR GAMES OR THE ITEMS YOU HAVE IN THEM, VALVE CAN TAKE THEM AWAY FROM YOU AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO
Hudson Powell
I love their slimy wording
>we don't allow ingame items to be exchanged for real money!
No but you do let people exchange real money for gambling on items
Pure slime from valve.
Austin Moore
sorry your thread didn't make it.
Hudson Perry
>How long are they going to act like cases/boxes aren't gambling? They're the digital equivalent of goodie bags with random prizes or booster packs for card games.
David Garcia
Its like the japs and the pichinko(or whatever they are called) machines.
Isaac Martin
Sorry your mom didn't have the money to abort you.
Kayden Robinson
Why do you people care so much about this shit? I honestly had no idea this many people on Sup Forums played this game.
Xavier Perez
No they are not, did you read the definition of gambling? Your comment is beyond retarded.
Chase Williams
lol
Noah Richardson
CSGO is one of the most played games in the world and you "didn't have idea this many people played"? Are you a anime poster?
Elijah Turner
85% of the cs:go players are anime watchers
James Martin
>on Sup Forums I'm not surprised that brazilians and russians play it, but Sup Forums?
Ryder Ramirez
You are one of those that say >i was just pretending to be retarded xd i troll u ?
Leo King
...
Matthew Williams
that makes no sense at all
Dominic Ortiz
this thread is garbage they only got rid of it because of all the backdoor gambling that was going on or whatever the fuck that really took advantage of people. I see you're one of the founder of one of those sites lol
Cameron Roberts
This is the reason nobody plays your favourite multiplayer game
Because they're hooked on in-game gambling and other related skinner boxes
If gamers knew what was good for them they'd lobby for banning of in-game gambling
Aiden Morales
Full Definition of gamble gambled gambling play \-b(ə-)liŋ\ intransitive verb 1 a : to play a game for money or property b : to bet on an uncertain outcome
Explain to me how buying a $3.50 booster pack that gives you a random bunch of cards from a set in Magic is any different from buying a $2.50 key that lets you open a case to get a randomized skin from a set in CSGO?
Liam Gomez
It's not even fun gambling. It's just one-armed bandit shit.
For kids, so you know, even more morally indefensible instead of just sinking their teeth into the elderly and depressed.
Jonathan Cox
That user is right. Crates / boxes are more like booster packs.
When you buy a booster pack of cards, you go in knowing you're getting cardboard in return. You always get something in return. You're in a legally binding agreement you are buying shit cards with possibly rare cards.
Same thing with crates. You go in knowing your buying virtual items. Gambling is when you put up something of value and HOPE you get more in return, because chances are that you will walk away with nothing.
Gabriel Barnes
Who the fuck cares? Also why the fuck would valve take my games they have no reason to.
Hudson Cooper
OP is retard, and it's another cry about virtual wares.
Eli Mitchell
PRICES ARE DECIDED ENTIRELY BY THE COMMUNITY
VALVE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW MUCH SKINS ARE WORTH ONLY HOW RARE THEY ARE
WHY ARE PEOPLE SO FUCKING STUPID
Anthony Murphy
I had fun betting on CSGO lounge. Made matches really interesting.
I'd imagine viewership will drop, but valve will still make a lot of money so no big deal for them.
Nathaniel Hernandez
huh, i wonder how the community decides a price on a rare skin
Ethan Morgan
Mostly if it looks good or not. There are rare skins not worth much because they don't look good.
Kayden Gonzalez
I have faith in Valve not to take away my guns.
Adam Lopez
OH SHIT I BETTER SELL MY SHIT BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS THAT MAKES IT ALL WORTHLESS IE: TF2 LOVE AND WAR
Jaxson Brown
fucking rekd
Xavier Kelly
They're probably doing it because they realize or have been quietly told by government officials that they're in violation of federal anti gambling laws and need to tighten the fuck up.
Colton Smith
epic same fagging retard
Wyatt Jenkins
As i recall the machines give out balls or tokens as a prize, and it just so happens that round the corner is a shop that buys the very same tokens in exchange for items.
Jason Hernandez
Where do they let people gamble for items?
Aaron James
Except with cases you're always guaranteed to get something, moron.
Samuel Jenkins
Yep, pure coincidence.
Brayden Rivera
So it isn't gambling because you get a minimal return?
Caleb Murphy
CSGO lounge bots are now offline and people can't get their returns.
Wew lads, some people are gonna be real salty.
Landon Myers
When you gamble you have the chance of getting something and chance of losing everything.
When you buy a booster pack, case, box, a gogo pack, whatever, you ALWAYS get something.
Jaxson Cooper
Where are the russian kids?
Gavin Sanchez
People are already talking about selling everything you got right now because the markets gonna crash. I think the panic is gonna crash the market harder than whatever Valve will do.
Charles Evans
Classy.
Easton Phillips
Which can be sold for money nerby as well.
Joseph Brown
Who the fuck is talking about packs you mongoloid.
