People who think Valve wants to crash the market are clueless.
They’re trying to reestablish control and make things healthy again, balancing supply and demand to natural levels.
But in doing so, considering how unhealthy things had become with artificially inflated prices, items are now returning to realistic values.
Skins were turning into shitcoins, moving away from their original purpose as playskins, and being traded like stocks or crypto instead.
This is a good change for the long-term health of the market.
Otherwise, where would this have ended? China (and others) would just keep buying everything up and pushing prices even higher.
Did you really think that was sustainable?
Be glad this happened if you’re actually here for the skins and the longevity of the CS2 economy.
The “crash” was inevitable. I’ve been warning about it for a long time.
People are just too greedy and forget that Valve regulates this economy, as they always have.
Unfortunately, most are blinded by greed to see the obvious coming.
