Could Valve jew up their own games anymore? What's next boots and armor? Fucking modern gamers are such faggots they want to play dress up in their shitty FPS games.

I see that logo all the time of the fist grabbing lighting, did that originate from somewhere? I always remember it from old Bungie but i doubt its from them/

REEEEEEEEEEE

SHOULDVE LEFT IT TO GAMEBANANA FOR GLOVES

DUMB GO KIDDIES ARE GOING TO EAT THIS SHIT UP

I remember three years ago when the people who were pissed off by the introduction of gun skins were told, "don't worry guys it's only for guns. Valve would never change the clothing :^)".

You have ten seconds to explain why it isn't.

Yes, the gloves are a stupid idea.

But CS:GO has server costs, the game doesn't support hundreds of thousands of people daily for free. They've pretty much exhausted all the good ideas at this point that don't affect gameplay.

I hate using this word but you guys are literally being entitled.

You don't have to buy the gloves if you don't want to, they have 0 (zero) affect on gameplay, and idiots buying them keep the game afloat financially instead of being a constant loss for Valve.

I don't play CS:Go, where's the problem? I'm curious

VALVE LITERALLY AT EA LEVELS

this is ok
cosmetics are ok
they always will be in games that are strictly oriented around multiplayer pvp action
as long as they can be obtained without spending money after the initial sale, it's ok
exclusive untradable shit is not ok
that's where dota fucked up and I quit cold turkey
considering selling what litter I can actually trade and moving the wallet money to paypal money

First guns
then knives
then stickers
then sprays
now gloves
What's next, what's next
Grenade skins?

LOL I POSTED IT AGAIN XD

You act like they haven't already made well over enough through the normal cases

Fuck off faggot

>nice gold skin fgt!
>rat-at-at-at-at-at

Someone post the comic.

Dude, eat shit.

In case you forgot, Valve makes obscene amounts of money off of Steam alone. They're just being jews.

Bruh, they made MILLIONs enough to support servers to last years with skins alone. This and sprays are overkill.

>Never liked CS:GO

Fuck you Valve, now I wanna collect all the gloves like I'm already doing IRL with real ones.

Do you think valve just browses gamebanana for ideas?

>glove fetish
Please share with the class, user.

>dumbasses with more money than sense desperately want to spend their money on EVEN MORE pointless cosmetic stuff

Would you in this situation let those people and all that money just walk away? I don't fucking think so.
There's a point where a company is jewing people but this is very far away from it, there's no effect on gameplay at all.
You want to see jews go on a free mobile game and try to play longer than an hour without it stopping you behind a timer you can conveniently pay money to skip.

Whenever something like this happens everyone demonises the company doing it, but this is just a symptom of the culture we live in. The real problem is that people are willing to spend significant amounts of money on this shit. Valve is just capitalising upon it. Not that they're entirely blameless - they are helping to spread this culture - but they're not the root of the problem by any means

>Would you in this situation let those people and all that money just walk away?
Of course not.

But I would spend that money on making actual games like Ricochet 2 rather than just pocketing it all.

OP here. Please share. This thread just got interesting.

this.
I mean has anyone seen OW and, heck, TF2 before?

>all of this entitlement

When you grow up you'll stop caring about virtual gloves. Try getting a job first and then buying some psychedelic or dissacoative drugs. Also maybe having a real hobby would help.

>But CS:GO has server costs
>Nexxon revealed to investors that server upkeep costs for MMOs with 6 figures of players take only 4 figures of revenue to maintain for an entire year
>Valve gets 30% of the thousands of games in its catalog it sells to customers from other developers

Shut up. You are a retard regarding money.

My hobby is virtual glove collecting

Who is to be blamed, we'll never know.

Must be a socialist with that logic.

Y'all retard. The community asked for it.
If you actually cared about the game a bit and browsed r/GlobalOffensive, you'd see the idea getting posted every month with shithousands of upvotes.
Same happened with music kits

Well Valve has been lazily not finishing its series since long before CSGO was even released, hell even before they started doing crates in TF2, so it's a bit backwards to blame that culture on their current activities.

row 4 column 5

If only there was some other way to pass the responsibility of servers onto other people...

at this point, why not give character customization now
it's already done for tf2, why not cs:go now

Remember simply downloading skins for your guns and gloves as well as sprays ?

Fuck you valve

>people shouldn't be allowed to buy meaningless cosmetics in a game they spend hours looking at because a few anons are neets who can't afford little luxuries

Okay lol

Wait, is that whole gambling scandal still going on?

>kiddies mad about good business practices the thread

It begs a good question actually.
Valve takes 30% of everything that goes through Steam, Valve also isn't a very prolific games developer and doesn't hire that many people. Server costs for its games can't be that much. It makes bank from CSGO/TF2/DoTA2 shops.

Where does all the money go?

post more cute puppers

No, literally at EA levels would be pay to win weapons.
S O U R C E you fucking nigger faggot cucks.

Also, for the user talking about Nexxon, MMOs have subscription fees. CS:GO is a one-time $15 purchase (even less on sale) and then you can play it indefinitely. People who bought it back in 2013 are likely still playing.

Stupid shit like weapon skins and cases and glove skins and music boxes makes CS:GO's server costs pay for themselves, rather than running at a loss and cutting out of Steam revenue.

Steam is an entirely separate entity which doesn't require CS:GO running to work. Valve is a BUSINESS and is under no obligation to keep CS:GO running at a loss. Which is why it's perfectly fine for them to release shitty cosmetic items if idiots want to buy them.
Yeah but Steam is an entirely separate entity to CS:GO. Why should Valve have to take revenue from there to support CS:GO when it can support itself with entirely harmless cosmetics?

TL;DR stop being mad over something you
DON'T HAVE TO BUY
which
DOESN'T AFFECT GAMEPLAY. I can't stress this enough.

Valve is paying around 200 hundred or so presumably highly paid developers to fuck around as they please. The rest just sits there, i.e goes to Gabe

So you're suggesting they totally shut down official support for the game rather than offer inconsequential cosmetics which, as said, the community ASKED for?

This is the sort of retard who gets mad over virtual gloves that don't affect gameplay.

20000 isn't that much money

Companies are entitled to make money in whatever ways they want you retarded commies. When you're forced to work after libertarianism inevitably wins out maybe you'll be less entitled.

woah really made me think.............

>buy game
>pay $15
>now have free content updates and indefinite server support from Valve for at least four years
>have the OPTION to buy cosmetics which the community asked for

"Squeezing" means forcing. Nobody is being forced to buy cosmetic items in order to play CS:GO. If you don't like it just don't fucking buy it.

Stop baiting.

Fuck off, leftist scum. You can't stop progress. Go worship Pol Pot or something while adults get things done.

Yeah sure, but what's entitled about criticizing a company's practices in which I am not complaining about goods or services which I feel are owed to me?

Only the ones in second column from left look good, everything else is overdesigned garbage.

Damn.....

It went over your head boss.

I'm glad those suckers are keeping valve afloat that's all

I like how every time I mention my fetish on Sup Forums, nobody cares about it. Guess now this is my time to shine.

Basically, I've had this fascination with them since around 11 years old, when I just discovered fapping. I started stealing gloves from the lost items box which were plentiful during middle-school, not-so as time went by.

Because it's so easy to find gloved women outside during the winter (I'm Canadian), I never wanted to stay NEET or have a job at home. I also never felt the urge to learn how to drive, let alone get a driver's license, because our bus system is very popular, used by people from every social and economic classes and is the best way to look at gloves subtly while wearing shades. I've studied the best positions and times of day where cute gloves can be seen, so I always know when I need to clock off from work or where to sit in the bus to get the best views.

The way they collapse on my hands makes me feel safe, so I'm especially fond of the ones which are skintight but feel like fabric (hate the latex ones). Even cheap black polyester ones can be nice to fap with in dire situations. However my favorites are made of elastic, soft fabric like satin or nylon. They just feel great on my dick. Never been into leather tho until a few years ago, so that's also nice.

Nowadays, I mostly buy them online or make a monthly trip during the winter at the local library to check in their lost items section, which is sealed off from everyone's eyes fortunately, so it's perfect for grabbing a few gloves when no one is around.

As far as I know, only my past gfs and current fiance knows about it. She's fine with it too. I sometimes buy her some and she thanks me by giving me a glove-show where she gives me a handjob wearing them.

So yeah, AMA I guess?

>Waaaah Valve/CSGO already makes so much money why can't they just give new stuff away for free!

Fucking idiots have no idea what the real root of the issue is.

kill yourself retard
valve makes enough money to run servers for 500 years just from CSGO sales (the game itself) alone

At least it isn't tiles man.

>take money away
>on optional shit only autists care about
>your only argument is "I'M ENTITLED TO THIS CONTENT THEY MADE, WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR IT??"

lmao

>they're not allowed to try and keep the game paying for itself with optional cosmetic items, it should be run and updated for free, forever
That's what's entitled user

Call me when they add a chicken or other meme gloves

Why do people buy this shit when the graphics for this game are shit?

I like seatbelts. They feel nice on my collarbone

What's your favourite colour of glove user

>strawman
How about you argue against what people have actually said, and not just what you feel comfortable attacking?

at least give an option to grind them out like most games nowadays gears, halo, cod

>>strictly hitscan weapons due to limitations of Source
how fucking young are you

Will there be videos of Youtubers throwing epileptic fits over shiny gloves just like weapons?

servers are cheap as fuck nowadays

...

That guy sure is something lol.

White is GOAT but super-rare in public. Black can look really damn nice during specific lighting conditions where they become dark gray and have a lot of different shades of grey (no pun intended) that're visible.
Aside from that, most colors are fine, except dark green and dark blue. Those two are meh.

>(I'm Canadian)

>afloat financially instead of being a constant loss for Valve.

are you being retarted ironically, like as a joke?

bomb - my nigga

bomb skins no doubt watch

>I've studied the best positions and times of day where cute gloves can be seen, so I always know when I need to clock off from work or where to sit in the bus to get the best views.

Both sides of the argument ITT are right. Valve is being jews, not because they're creating retarded cosmetics and making people gamble for them, but because they're not taking that money and doing something useful with it like developing new IPs or continuing old ones. I know I sure as hell wouldn't let that cash cow go. On the other side, Valve's fanbase is dumb for supporting this behavior when there's no real benefit to it

Every $15-$10 sale is a one time purchase from a person who might take up 3 years of dedicated server time on their own.

Even a cheap, shitty server holding 24 players costs about $50/month to run, which means after 8 months, the cost of supporting the player has already outweighed the $15 (or less) the player spent on a copy of CS:GO.

Not only do you have to pay the server costs all around the globe at remote locations, you have to pay people to manage those servers, too.

And that's not at all including the cost that went into making the game for however many years and updating it for three years.

If they didn't sell OPTIONAL COSMETIC shit then CS:GO would be running at a loss.

No user, (you) are the retard.
Okay then nigger, so what actually are you saying, if not that they're not allowed to do it? Enlighten me fucker.

I don't see the problem with this.

I don't see the problem with this to be fair.
Cosmetic items that pose no gameplay change doesn't make a difference to anyone.
And you're not forced to purchase them either.

If a couple of thousand people want to waste their money on customising their character the very little they can then they can be my guest.

It wouldn't be anywhere near as much of a problem if they added an option to disable them.

>post yfw you have never played global sticker collector, team hats, AND you're not anthony burch

dont blame valve, blame retards.

I for one am excited about this, since I get get them for free from drops and selling cards

i remember when people used to joke about glove cosmetics

>cl_minmodels 1
when
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>they're not taking that money and doing something useful with it like developing new IPs or continuing old ones

I don't want to defend Valve, but we don't know if they are using that money for anything or not. They are usually very secretive about their shit and are known for starting projects and axing them when they don't turn ok.

If I were Valve I would be usign some of that money to make a new engine.

I never said they're not allowed to do it. Being allowed to do it and being free from criticism are two different things. They get an enormous amount of money through game sales alone that they'd easily be able to support the online for the few games they actually pay for themselves. Then there's the market transactions that take a piece of (tied to cosmetics), and then the cosmetics and shit like the compendium.

>tfw have played team hats and still play global sticker collecter

A-at least I'm not Anthony Burch

>people will 200 dollar weapon skins and 600 dollar knife skins will defend this

Feels really fucking good, man

I know it's hard living with autism, but you don't need to have this much asspain over a post

>No OR Ironsights
