People that think valve did this for average players are so deluded and entitled. If they wanted you to be able to afford reds why did they baseline them at $800 in the genesis terminal lmfao. You dont need a knife and full loadout to play the game.
For those of you that didnt figure it out yet here is what valve actually achieved with this update:
1. Lowered gold prices (both short and long term) to a price low enough that the majority can be listed on the SCM.
2. Increased the price and demand for reds, a lot of reds nobody gave a fuck about. All reds used for trade up are also still cheap enough to be listed on the market, again increasing the amount of fees they can take.
3. Increased the ROI for cases. Before it was knife or bust, now reds have some sort of value which makes case opening more attractive in the long run, meaning more revenue.
4. Potential circumvention of incoming gambling laws. You can now guarantee a knife with a tradeup, and as such there are more ways to get one than just gambling.
5. (Potentially unintended) Made the SCM a more attractive market place due to the absence of trade reversal that you find in 3rd party marketplaces, again increasing their marketshare and in turn their profit.
TLDR The only intended beneficiary of the update is valve (obviously). You dont need a top tier knife and gloves and full set of coverts to play the game so suck it up and get your bread up π―
Fuckers like this finally showing their true faces. They hate sharing. Taking the game way too seriously, too. Love to see them cry as we sit back, and not even buy the shirt because it doesn't even look good.
@Alina_AE Never understood these annual Founder rewards. There aren't many founders now who still play, and there weren't many to begin with. Especially posting them on Twitter for all the non-founders to see, it's counterproductive to how the game is nowadays with items' availability.
@Alina_AE@DominikAQW Love this design. But, I think slimming things down closer to the original NC template would look great, too. Perhaps a second variant? I understand if it's not possible due to Dyce's armor being quite literally a Dark caster naval commander already.
@VPN_AE@Alina_AE Holy shit, you are braindead. I had thought you meant to give 500 acs to the IoDA guys, but you're saying they should give it to everyone. You're the type of person who want everything given to you without doing an ounce of work, benefitting yourself from everybody else. Gtfo.
@Koreyzzz Omg π thats a huge qol change. It was def annoying farming reactors, and them. I can only get back to my pc in a month from now, so I'll def try it then! Tysm
