$1,000 for a digital bandana

>$1,000 for a digital bandana

What went so wrong?

What is the issue with this?

I would never buy any cosmetics, but if I can get free money from playing a game Im happy they added them.

Why are you implying something went wrong. Are you some kind of a bad goy OP?

No one can list a single bad thing about this. Only idiots will pay for cosmetic items and if that means I'll be able to use their money to buy cheap steam games then keep it up.

Loot crates on the other hand.

see I'm genuinely curious why anyone could be against them (as long as they're cosmetics and don't actually give an advantage)

supply and demand

Late-stage capitalism.

Er.. I don't think you quite get how epic that banner is.

my friend buys these
and then loses all his money CS GO skin gambling at the same time.

Downfall of every game .

Team Fortress 2 went to shit because it was most cases only people who idled to get crates or other items.
Same here the reason PUBG has so many palyers are bots idling like crazy to get this shit.

This means more bots, this means less real player.
This goes on with the fact that many games that included shit like this turned into shit because devs made more and more cosmetics to get the sweet gains of the Steam market because every trade is fucking taxed ina fucking videogame.
Look how Valve turned out after years creating hats and skins for knives

this kind of makes me want to play pubg for easy money

fuck off horsefucker

>$1,000
>a lot of money

What is it like being this unfathomably poor?

>nearly $90 difference between lowest sale and highest buy request

Guess it can't be too valuable if there's that much discrepancy.

>No one can list a single bad thing about this

How about all the fucking AFK farmers this shit spawned?

Nothing went wrong.
The item only has value what the players are willing to buy. Want the item cheaper? Don't buy the items. If you do buy the items, then you agree that the item is worth the price and go about your merry day.
Sure charging an outlandish amount of money for something as stupid as a digital item, but it's only stupid if people are willing to pay.

What is it like being this unfathomably retarded?

china

>playing this shit game because bored
>got expensive shitty cosmetic from box
>put it on the market instantly
>get bunch of free games off steam
>not bored anymore

I may be wrong, but I think one of the recent updates made idlers not earn BP if they remain inactive in the first couple minutes of the game.

Because TF2 was soooo much better with it's hat barons running about.

what did this goy mean by this

see It encourages mental illness, for faggots who otherwise wouldn't get in touch with gambling

>just have a bot that moves your character every few seconds

He's losing REAL money too. The last two months, he's lost over 3,000 in CSGO skin gambling.

Like, money I don't even HAVE, he's losing to gambling.

>Requests to buy at $880
Why in the fuck

Good point.

Banner? Scarf?

Money laundering

>tfw bought PLAYERUNKNOWN's set crate for £450

>tfw items separately are now worth in excess of £1500

wait, you get drops playing PUBG? and you can sell them?


holy fuck why no one told me this before... I been asking for months why this stupid game is so popular, if I had known I could make a living selling stupid cosmetic drops I would have bought it so long ago.... god damn it forchon.

How often do you get them? or how? you need to get a good position? or is it gay and random?

>golden pan
>burning sargeant hat
>double unusuals
>all the skin knifes in cs
This isn't new.

you buy lott crates that doesn't need any key with ingame currency you gain from matches. The better you play, the better.

This

In a week of casual play, I can get 4 crates, all of which contain valuables ranging from $.01 to $.03 USD.

Depending on how long you last/ how many kills you get, you earn an amount ingame currency. Use this to buy lootcrates. The crates and their contents can be sold.

So you're saying League of Legends is on downfall because of cosmetics? Actually in many cases cosmetics are sustaining the game during its lifespan. But in case of i. e. Team Fortress 2 devs went lazy because game just printed money w/o much effort. That's all.

Because eventually it 100% will get to a point where the cosmetics become super bright and tacky and actually distracting.
There will be servers filled with people idling to farm that shit just like in TF2.

I never understood why people give CS knives and TF2 hats so much value, as in, why would it have any fucking value?

See

>used to put the craziest and wildest skins you could imagine on all of my guns for free
>now you have to pay hundreds and thousands for the most generic shit out there

the times, they are changing.

TF2 has unusual hats that are 16x that.

Because it's rare, it doesn't matter if it's shit, as long as it's rare people feel what they have is shit unless it's the rare one. Same reason people pay 800% for brand clothing, you can buy a hanes shirt for $5, or you buy pretty much the same shit with a CK embroidery and pay $40.

>tfw you'll never have Adidas gloves
>tfw your AWP will never be your character pointing their finger like a gun
>tfw your DEAGLE will never be a 1911
>tfw your AK-47 will never be a dragon breathing fire
>tfw your AUG will never be an M16

all with custom sounds and animations to boot.

its kids and gamblers that spend money on this.

my friend started trading on Rocket League 2 months ago and according to him it's 90% kids

This.

literally econ 101

Most of these expensive items are Chinks farming the game. If they cannot find a secure way to sell the items for real money, they sell them for Steam bux, then use this to buy and gift games for real money.

Did you think the game was getting 1+ million concurrent players because people enjoy it? It's Chinks doing what they do best, farming the game.

>durr why this so expensive
>why cant I be richfag and wipe ass with money

If you shitposted on /biz/ years ago and git gud with bitcoin you wouldn't be a crying poorfag. What are you a filthy commiescum? Going to join antifa cause your a failure at capitalism and not a red blooded real American? I bet you didn't even vote trump cause your not a real patriot. Kneel you poorfag. Maybe if you applied yourself you could be Floyd Mayweather rich, but your not, your a commie /leftypol/ nigger.

...

Are you dumb? that's a lot of vidya

>$1000 for something that doesn't exist
For what you get, it's a lot.

Nothing to see here goy.

Regardless of what the item even a digital cosmetic,if there are people who value it,they will pay as much as they can for it if they have the money

Imagine all the Steam games you could get with $1000.

that's literally all I imagine when I think about getting one of these items.

I would literally be set for YEARS in the video game buying department if I could just get one of these lucky drops.

thats cute

this item is pre-order only, bub
the miniskirts are good earning, but I bet selling crates is better on average

It's not like you can do anything else with the money, it's locked down in the Bank of Gaben

yeah no shit but it's still free money to spend on games

Eh, I'll just keep playing to play, and if I happen to get a skirt, or school outfit or something cash in.

I'm fine with my camo pants, high tops, and black sweater.

So Sup Forums, you're telling me all I need to do is make skins for this game and I can make money from stupid dude bros?

We are just entering early-level capitalism you just fucking wait

A full 1/3 of the pubg player base is chinese. That should tell everyone enough.

Spend 1000 bucks on a bandanna or build a high end gaming rig that would last at least 5 years.
