How does it feel knowing you wasted your parent's hard earned money on nothing?

You mean on video games?

>>337564018
I just don't play those games.
I think it's a waste of energy to be angry all the time just because they exist

I regret everything.
>>337564018
Is it just me, or was that reference to Narcissus seem so ham-fisted and out of place? As if it was just an excuse to name drop something in Greek mythology.
Who cares about cosmetic only micro-transactions? It isn't required at all. If you choose to its your own prerogative.
Retards buying cases just means I get content updates without putting money in.
>>337566036
The fuck? I wonder when the fucking meme started that CSGO is a good game. Shit was hot garbage since it's release.
>>337565243
>>337565445
There is no alternative. The only other way would be to forcibly take control over it, and decide what the population can and can't do, government tells you what is good for you and what is not. You can say then, well if what they government says I can't do is actually bad for me, it's alright, but it still robs you of the freedom of choice. We have that now, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, this skins shit, and no one can tell you not to do it, and that also means you are responsible for the damage you cause yourself, not the one who distributes your personal drug. Therefore, yes, the way it stands today, it is the fault of the "players", the users. Stating it's "predatory" by companies to maximize profit because some people are stupid is an inane comment and cannot change anything, people must say no and by saying no the company will have to do something else. I don't know of any third way, but as it is these are the two to pick from and there's positives and negatives to both. What >>337565243 said is objectively true.
>>337564018
I make my own money thank you very much.
>>337566076
The entire video was hamfisted and out of place.
You couldn't gather that from the 2spooky music, disembodied voices of people saying nothing relevant, and the forced "I just took an Intro to Humanities class at my local community college" mythology?
The video is so edgy and try-hard I had to squint just to watch it.
>>337566076
The whole thing is laughably pretentious.
It plays creepy background music while having some faglord tell some ominous story about narcissus as if opening a case in csgo is the road to hell. As if spending petty cash on stupid micro transactions is equitable to a fucking crack addiction.
>>337566076
Slightly, there's no denying the tail end of millennials and this new generation have a massive problem with narcissism though
>>337564018
>Look what a scam
It's not like they will support games for free. This is their business model. Buy that shitty hat or they will pull the plug.
Another option is monthly subscription but I don't see it coming back. At least you have that shitty cosmetic item now.

I don't think that was the point, I think it was to illustrate this: >>337566217
>>337566297
It has everything to do with it. Customizing "yourself" and being "unique" with skins and everything.
>>337566217
>its the "the new generation has worse problems than the old one" meme
People have literally been saying this for all of recorded history.
>>337566351
Thats a retarded point. Narcissism is no more a problem than it was 50, or 100, or 500 years ago.
>>337566280
I purchased the practice weapons and a couple of nice cosmetic items. Don't see why people get so crazy about crates and unusual items.
Who fucking cares.
If you are mentally retarded to buy weapon skins it's your problem. I'm glad that it's only cosmetic and that they don't offer any gameplay advantage.

Or to play with IRL friends who were 2k lower MMR.
But right, I'm sure my inventory worth $2 that I've never spent any money on is the real issue here.
Record a video of you slowly scrolling through my shitty inventory while 2spooky4u music plays and you have Reagan in the background talking about the Contras or something. That'll be another 10/10 video, senpaitachi.
I have never cringed so hard in the entirety of my existence until now
>>337566713
Unless you can quantify "people's narcissism" in some concrete way and then show me studies that confirm that it has increased, you are just making a supposition.
>Crying about streamers/youtubers dropping thousands upon thousands of dollars on case openings
For the $200 they drop on a case opening, they make $500 back in ad rev.
You know this instantly when you see someone like Kootra mentioned in this shit and how after an entire year of no real drops, with an estimated $10k wasted, he still decides to do it week after week. Its the same with Phantoml0rd, he's got more money than you can imagine, and he's spending it to make more.
The issue lies with kids who even after seeing people fail constantly, still want to drop money into a completely chance system. It gets even worse when they're using roulette systems. That has nothing to do with the people making these videos though. Because its not their money, or they've just entered the real world with an addiction to this shit which was allowed by their parents giving them money to buy keys constantly.
>>337564018
>200 hours in csgo

>only spent $15 on the game itself
Value only exist where people allow it to.
someone explain this to me
>>337566376
No-one said anything was worse. Are you saying that different generations of people don't have substaintially different upbringings and therefore don't think/act differently?
>>337566440
The rise of social media and the fact that cameras are on everything these days, beg to differ.
SO want prevents you people for making shit for the TF2/CSGO workshop and make mad dollars?
No. The one things that killed TF2 is the trading. Not the hat. The hat are nice, cosmetic are nice and welcome into a games like TF2.
Trading killed tf2 because now it's all key / metal, if i want a hat i have to pay metal and not pay with a hat the other side's like because "It has no value on backpack.tf"
i wish Valve destroyed trading by making all hat droppable again and making it so you win a hat if your team has a victory. Not too hard to do, considering how much cosmetic item there is in TF2, it would push people to win for their hat.
Just likes rocket league.

If you are poor or can't affrod this shit you don't buy it and play the same game as evryone else.

What I dont understand is why does the OP claim ''VALVE BTFO''??? If anything it should be 'bravo' for the amount of money they make on literally fucking nothing
I used to love Valve, but they effectively killed themselves off. Much like Blizzard.
RIP.
>>337566846
its just sad that pre-teens like watching some Mr Fancy Twitch streamer just uncrating some fucking texture just because its "rare"
putting value in texture files is fucking brillliant, props to you valve
These are the useful idiots of society, don't think for one second that any of you wouldn't do the same if put in a position to exploit the weakness of some people to better yourself in society. This also goes back to the Jew dilemma that /pol/ can never answer, if Jews are so cancer, why are they then allowed to gain control of the banking system of every country, media and entertainment? The answer is, people allow it.

I don't like this trend as much as the next guy but microtransactions are a thing in almost every game nowadays. At least in valve's games, you get the complete package and the gambling metagame is not really mandatory.

>they see your dick
I'm not really sure why anyone would take exception to valve's method of utilizing micro transactions. It is probably the most fair and ethical way to do it.
Their base games are either cheap or free, and without putting any cash shop money in you have the same gameplay experience as anyone else. Buying items can't give you an advantage competitively, so you only have to do it if you want. Valve makes a lot of money from people with disposable income who like buying virtual items, and they get to use a portion of that income on free content updates that all players get to enjoy. If some saudi prince buying 5000 hats is the reason I still get tf2 updates a decade later, then I hardly see what the problem is.
uncrating videos are really popular, the more they spend uncrating, the more in ad revenue they get

what's truly sad is that weapon skins and model skins were free to download back in the day. if you wanted to skin your Q2 character, you went to a website and chose whichever one you liked.
I can't believe they actually found a way to charge people for it.
>>337568018
Basically you gamble for skins on CS GO which do nothing but add a texture to equipment. I think knives are pretty rare and they shit there pants when they get either because they are part of the youtuber screamer generation. Have nothing to say but scream instead and little kids like and subscribe.

They have been and still are good, however, with earning dollars and making clever business decisions. A good Quake mod? Hire creators. Well-balanced Half-Life mod? Hired. Blizzard is shitting on its cool W3 mod? Fuck it, we will hire this designer. Their best games are not theirs per se.

>Buying games is no different than wasting money on a skin.
really? explain how spending $100 on a knife skin is the same as playing through a campaign of a video game. how are the two exactly the same?
I play CS GO a lot, and TF2 casually and I can tell you millions of people think like this. I've bought a total of one "crate" key in like 3 years which was one too many. Now I sell every drop I get in game + trading cards from games to get money off vidya.
I'll tell someone to try out a cool game on sale for like 3 euro and they'll go "ehhh too much" yet every single week they'll go ahead and buy key after key, continually getting absolutely fuck all and still throwing money at the system. It's unbelievable, people just sit for ages unlocking cases because that's fun to them, people sit on twitch streams watching other people gamble money for textures.
Whoever edited that video together has a really high opinion of himself
who gives two shits about cosmetic items, shouldn't you be ranting and raving about p2w items that actually give you a competitive edge? you're just as bad as the mouth-breathers that sperg out over stupid knife skins

So in tl;dr its "Spending money on skins is bad" or something like that?
Hey, I personally think that CSGO skins are fucking useless shit but if someone want them so bad then what is the harm in it?
It's not much different from people buying expensive clothing, they just want to look "nice" and "cool" in front of other people.

Hi crowbcat.
Are you going to spend all week shilling this video you made like you did with giantbomb's vr video where you cherry picked clips to show VR in a negative light?
You're an excellent propagandist I have to admit. you should work for feminist frequency, I hear they have a position open.

Seriously its fucking hilarious how fucking sleazy and dishonest the video is. It's almost ironic, really.
>>337569778
i see
but why show off a knife in game when you could buy a decent sized real knife collection for the same price? and have it not depend on playing an specific game on the personal computer
>>337569834
i've never even played csgo. i just think it's hilarious when some 12 year old thinks they discovered some massive conspiracy when they finally learn what capitalism is.

I never bought skins in CSGO / TF2 neither am I a Valve fanboy. The video just screams "I'm better than everyone else, you're all just sheep".

Yeah, it is. If you want to go to the gas station on pay day and spend 100 dollars on scratch off's, thats you prerogative, and its pretty stupid to put the blame on anybody but you for doing it.

Call me a Valvedrone all you want but here's how i look at it. Its optional cosmetics, it doesnt affect gameplay, it doesnt give any unfair edge to any player, it only exists to show off to people. No streamer, no pro player not even Valve is forcing skins down your throat, you can just be someone who plays the game and thats it, people throw their shit for no reason, if you dont like to buy skins, then fucking dont.

ive been playing since 2009 and only spent 1,50€ on hat because i thought it would "support" the TF2 team
1 year later they made the game free to play
>>337570105
yeah and it's more profitable than making actually fun video games for me to play
>>337569769
>Yet they don't have to gamble to get it.
There's nothing wrong with gambling. Gambling is only an issue when the gambler has an gambling addiction

Thats not what i'am talking about.
You can buy "high quality clothes" For less than hundreds of dollars, but yet people buy them to be "cooler" in eyes of other people.
I've known many negros/moroccans who were buying those shoes that are worth 500 euro just to be able to fit in and "Be cool" while you can get better quality shoes from different brand for 100 euro...
I don't care about TF2/CSGO/Dota skins personally. Used to idle and trade TF2 shit, got a lot of free games out of it. Bought a couple cheap Dota sets by selling badge cards from previously mentioned free games.
>>337570102
t. valvedrone
Back when TF2 introduced trading and keys and shit it baffled me as to why people would spend cold hard cash on cosmetics, VIDEO GAME cosmetics even. I used to do TF2 trading when it was first introduced for a while, but never spent a cent on it.
Are these people rich? How do they earn their money? How could you willingly spend real money on virtual goods that give no benefits? Are they that vain? I really wanna know, babby related.

it's so scarry !
>>337570202
Assuming you make over a certain amount of money in income, it makes sense.
Time is money. If you make 70 dollars an hour at your job, and buying an item on tf2 would save you say 5 hours of unlocking it, then unless the item is several hundred dollars you might as well buy it.
Its the same reason that changing your own oil is pointless.
>>337570202
Even neets will buy that shit with gubbment money. When you live in the first world, and are happy to live in a mundane, small apartment with minimal food, you can spent quite a lot on vidya/cosmetics.

>>337570172
I too am disappointed by the lack of games from Valve, then again no games is better than shit games so i just prefer to waitfor HL3
>>337564018
This is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen.
Anyone who has spent money on CSGO should kill themselves.
>>337570186
high quality clothes are at least made from material that can be reused. and can be used for other things. skins can be used outside of the games, market, or dumb gambling shit.

That's because they shouldn't hold any power in a host country since they would favor their own. This isn't Anti-Semitic, or Anti-White, it has already been proven that people will prefer and help their own, whether you are black, white or a Hispanic in Japan, the Japanese will favor their own. It's funny how people always bitch about it towards whites but not any other race. And no one is denying the superiority of Ashkenazi Jews when it comes to intelligence, they are smarter, simple as that, same goes for East Asians. The problem stems from their ideology and superiority complex that could hurt other races.

Pretty much this, it's the same like the Gambling industry when it comes to TF2 Crates.
Look up the term Skinner Box to understand what I am talking about.

Of course we are smarter... I mean they, they are smarter than us dumb goys.

According to statistics these people are a very small minority but spend a lot of money on that system. I believe there was a good article written about this, this was taken from mobile game statistics where the majority of the games are just F2PW games.
>all these triggered CSbabbies

The game is pretty much the same as it was before. Hats don't really mess with the silhouettes or the overall color palette.

>>337570715
I don't know if you are trying to be sarcastic or just a dumb shitposter, it's proven that Jews 500 years ago selectively bred for intelligence with the Rabbis. The Catholic Church actually did the opposite and would cut the dicks of their most intellectual person.

I don't want a game designed from the ground up to optionally drain my blood for all I'm worth. Your passivity has moved once-native features of games into optional content locked behind pay walls and I fucking hate you.

Not really, the whole point of hats is just to affect the overall silhouette as little as possible.
You would know this if you actually played the game.

CS:GO wasn't that popular at the time.
And they didn't affected the game itself, why should anyone care?

Ah, so a shitposter then. Instead of countering my arguments, you start to scream nonsensical shit that has nothing to do with the subject at hand. Typical drone faggot.
