grown lazy and out of touch with their monopoly. They think things like paid mods are a good idea and continue to push it despite it always being horrible in every respect. Don't remember how to make games, only how to sell cosmetics. Buggy as shit software that will only get worse, resulting in more lapses in security.

Worst part is that after every single fuckup all they have to do is have Gabe do an AMA on reddit and everybody chimps out and forgets why they were upset.

A digital item, judging from the reaction its a knife but before they actually know the actual pattern and quality.

Valve doesn't need to make games anymore.

But the big thing is that the initial aesthetic/design of those games are ruined by all the cosmetic items.

I want to sell all my CSGO skins but I don't want them in Steambux. Fuck my shitty decision to open boxes and trade them. But even then I couldn't sell my top knifes for their actual value on the steam market because limitations. I'm planning on trading them down for keys but I only get lowballed by little kids and "scammers" that try the most retarded and most stupid tricks like "open this stieam.vu link", "hello it's your brother" and "Hey can you lend me your knife so I can check it ingame?".

It's difficult to find people pay with keys, most of them add skins as value.
>>
>>338033330
Yes I agree. But they never will. It could hurt the system.
>>
>>338032886
Yeah, apparently.

I watch two people who "regularly" do CSGO Case unboxings on YouTube, and its mainly to see them get crushed under the weight of turning an average of $200 each unboxing into $20 worth of skins. Thats when they even decide to do them which is rarely.

Donating and Subscribing on Twitch is retarded though, ill never understand that. Advertising exists and pays a decent amount for a reason.

The issue with the video is that they're trying to say that the people who make this content are somehow wrong for spending their money how they want, which would be the case if they were some no-name using their actual paycheck on it or some kid using his allowance or parents credit card driving them into bankrupcy.

Thats not the case with the people in the video. One of the lesser known but still massive guys in there being Kootra is worth around $800,000. Phantoml0rd, arguably the biggest in that video, is worth easily over a million or two. They can spend $1000 in one of these unboxings and make $5000 back in views, subs, donations or any other ad deal. They're literally spending money to make money, simple as that.

My only problem with Valve is that they don't create games any more.
Instead they milk their franchises through skins.

Or because Steam essentially is the PC market and there's no choice otherwise?

Sure, GOG sells some newer indie games and tons of old games but its library is small because Publishers hate it.

Protip: Despite that you could still sell that 'license' to someone else. With digital you can't do anything with it.

Yeah, the music and overall tone of the video is michael moore tier, but it's nonetheless true, maybe they should have some focus on stuff that isn't just Valve when it comes to paying for skins and shit.

>all these people thinking it's just about visuals and art style

Dota2 is 7 years old, CSGO is 4 years old. Look at games like WC3, SC:BW, CS1.6, Q3. UT99, Doom etc. and look at how the community, custom game modes and so forth were 4 and 7 years after they were released. Valve's games are no where near this despite having an incredibly easy to use and open development tools because people making their own content would now harm them. There were servers on WC3 where you could play as your favourite naruto character or UT99 servers that had south park voices and skins, there were total conversion mods that made the games into completely different things, fuck even Dota and CS themselves were originally mods for older games.

If Valve's way was the common way 15 years ago they wouldn't even has a Dota2 or CSGO to make because Dota or CS wouldn't exist because the companys would be more focused on selling extra virtual goods on their own terms rather than giving people the freedom to make and play whatever they want on their servers.

The term "price" is somewhat ambiguous in this instance.You can run an algorithm based on the supply and state of the market, but if there is no one who buy it; the actual price in practice will be lower than in theory.

Something is only worth as much as people are willing to pay.

You're fucking retarded. You're not "fighting the power" by making propaganda videos on youtube shitting on people who enjoy a game you don't like. And the fact that you somehow equate not playing a game anymore, because you personally don't like it, to "running away" from some problem that needs to be addressed shows how immature you are. It's laughable Seriously you people are like feminists these days. Buy games you like. Don't buy games you don't like. If there are no games you like, then make them. It's that simple!

No ones going to waste their time trying to sell their shit for an amount that no one will ever buy. Prices are a two way street. The seller has to have a reasonable expectation that someone will pay that price.

Of course removing the server list in dota doesn't impact the visibility of modded servers at all.
Don't pretend like they allow as much visibility to people making their own stuff back in their HL or even the start of their TF2 days as they do today.
Of course you can prove me wrong and tell me about all the massive mods / total conversions that have come out or are in development in the last 7 years or so for Dota2, CSGO or even TF2.
Heck they literally use vanity items that other people have made and sell them on the market place whilst locking out anyone else from downloading the file and using it for themselves.

Except that it doesn't fit Slardar's colour theme, it's almost contrast of it. Not only that, it's a fucking FIRE themed cosmetic set on a WATER themed character.

They're literally Valve's fucking rules for the item creation: They need to match the colour themes, theme of the character and overall keep the character recognizable.

The only reason Valve keeps shitting out new cosmetic cases is because the people who play the game keep buying them. It's the reason why the games are still around. Before that first case released CS:GO was hovering around 15k players every month, which is total shit for the Counter-Strike name, and it was a game that had just released. As soon as skins came in, the population began to slowly grow until it skyrocketed into the numbers it has now, with millions of people playing the game every day.

Cosmetics saved CS:GO and TF2, and I can deal with a few retards loving their hats and stickers and whatever the fuck if the actual gameplay is good (which it is. TF2 is the most balanced it's been in years)

Very dramatic indeed.

Why the fuck are you bothered by that??? I don't collect cards, I don't buy compendiums and shit, but I still enjoy DotA, L4d, CS:GO.

You can criticize Valve's strategy of charging everything at 30% on their platform, but ffs, the rest make you look like overpossesive bitches, tight on the wallet.

>Yes you complain about them not making games.

Yeah I'm pretty sad how far valve has fallen, considering I've had a steam account since octoboer 2003, but I don't really care anymore because they're beyond saving. All I care about is their ugly distasteful fanboys like you who keeps feeding a cancerous system

>Prove that its not like this.

What's to prove? I'm not a retard like you who pay them their jewbucks to rent/not-own my games.

I'd rather buy games from GoG, because I agree with their ethics, or just pirate games.

They dont know that betsnigga and other companys earn shit ton of money with them just existing.

A game that can be modet is a top seler.

Valve wanted to give the moders some revenu but hey niggers without money start crying.

You dont want fair deals you want just free shit. Stolen or not.
