Gabe owns more than half the company. Other large chunks owned by the other founder guy and some other meaningless things.
In other words they have no influence. Gabe could for example devote 100% of profits to employees bonuses for the year and nobody could stop him.
With shareholders that would be illegal even if Gabe owned 51% of the shares.
We had those on private servers and if someone was using nsfw decals, he would just get kicked, and eventually banned. Same for toxic behavior, cheating, and so on. That's an excuse.

woah every website better disable images asap!!
My assumption is more that since csgo was meant to be on consoles aswell they didnt bother adding a spray function and then later realised "hey we can make money out of this part too" (if they just didn't want no-no sprays they could have had a default spray pack like css has)
no it didn't fricking happen you tard
even in the hypothetical that it did it can easily be tracked back to you and punished for it and no fricking court would persecute you for something that can be proven to be implanted in 10 seconds
based. i mainly just had HD textures but with custom animations.
watery knife was a classic.
i haven't played that much CSGO, mainly community servers. easy crates + money, has fueled multiple game purchases over the years. thanks gaybe.
It seems insane to me as well, but on the other hand it's really funny reading the desperate justifications normies make for purchasing their pretty little imaginary stickers.

you just got social proof psyoped, unless you count the garbage drop skins or people that sells their drop case and buys with those cents some dirt cheap skin as paid skins
Obviously he's so rich and loaded such a success mucho money that he has to grovel at conventions doing these shitty talks for $3000. You too can be a millionaire!!!!
in CS you get better games if you have skins because it increases your trust factor. It's also a hedge against being identified as a cheater because you are essentially wagering X amount of dollars that you are not cheating because you lose your skins if you get banned.
it's unironically a decent way of introducing anti-cheat systems into the game. It's also hilarious when someone with a 5 figure inventory gets banned
Cool story but it doesn't hold up. If anyone is so obsessed over ranks that he cheats, he is also fanatical about other perceived values in the game (skins).
The only people who complain about skins are poorgays who never made profit off them. Invest in your career instead of shitposting maybe you'll actually make bank impoverished third worlder
he says while spending his time on a basket weaving forum
don't you have crypto to trade mr big businessman?
They outright refuse to fix TF2 but also stop the community from fixing the game because they still make a lot of money from hats so its in their interest to shutdown any community made alternatives. That's fricking bullshit.
because people make money off it, that's the major difference as you can't sell/buy/trade cosmetics between people as it can sustain them enough to become full time trade Black folk

I played cs early on and was flooded with 3 cent boxes. Now they are what 50-60 euros? I bought steam vr shit and games and I still have enough steam monopoly money to buy gamed for the next 5 years
Slot machines are regulated in my country and will given infinite time and infinite spins return 80% of your money.
Lootboxes do no such thing and should be regulated.
when you could get ten cents selling cards after buying a game and skins can sell for three
Back in the day we downloaded cs skins and installed them ourselves. Sprays too
True. From fps banana or whatever was that site called.
it is now called gamebanana and fps mod is not longer the focus. Full of anime mod on frontpage these days
Yeah but think about the poor shareholders. Did you think about them? Of course no you didn't.
>shareholders
>valve
stupid homosexual
Not him, but you do realize that private companies have shareholders right? PE is a massive industry
Ok then, did you think about the poor Gabe who needs to feed his family ? Did you think about him ? Of course no you didn't.
private companies have equity...

they took away custom sprays because people made child porn their spray and spraying it on the server you were on downloaded it to your PC
common excuse
it should just be legal imo
>excuse
it's the reason, not an excuse
or hire moderators
excuses

that's bullshit because you can still put whatever the frick you want on the conscientious objector
Literal bullshit a literal twitter troony pulled out of his diseased homosexual ass, have a nice day

>replace deagle with revolver
>replace muzzle flash with some blue colored monstrosity
yup its gaming time
>replace duelies with some goofy ass finger guns
too bad no one could see your skins and most of the time the servers wouldn't allow 3rd party skins
>too bad no one could see your skins
I don't care

i like pretty things
is that why you dont have mirrors in your house?
you projectin uggo?
struck a nerve?
You can open roughly 1 case per month for free, and the game gives you skins for free
It seems insane to me as well, but on the other hand it's really funny reading the desperate justifications normies make for purchasing their pretty little imaginary stickers.
A couple of years ago I had my lol phase and zoomers unironically praise each others skins in the chat like:
>hey ash that's an amazing skin you have 😀
this generation is beyond saving.
Oh yeah I remember seeing that often as well. When the legendary skins popped up people creamed their pants
>everyone buys skins bro

damn, I'll just download unity and do everything this guy says. I should become a millionaire from this, right?

Skins in CS are kinda pointless, I just buy ones for around $1 after selling enough weekly cases
Last two weeks I sold my Kilowatt cases and had enough to open a bunch sitting in my inventory
its pretty funny since I hate all skins for any gun and think default always looks the best in pretty much every game so no $$ from me
i spent 1 extra buck i got after buying a game i wanted and got 90% of my skins.
>What? People can buy skins that have no effect on the gameplay
Literally genocide
>entirely cosmetic
>can be resold and money can be recouped
It's a much better implementation then any other game on the market.
I still have no idea why shitty anti-consumer practices are okay when Valve does it
accumulated goodwill
captive audience (both TF2 and CSGO added microtransactions post-release)
how is it anti-consumer?
>pay real world money for lootbox
>99% of the time get garbage that is worth less than you've paid for
there's reason why most skins are like 10 cents
I'm not a moron who gambles so its not a problem though
They'll say those cases are not for (You) but the other thousands of morons who keep buying keys
They outright refuse to fix TF2 but also stop the community from fixing the game because they still make a lot of money from hats so its in their interest to shutdown any community made alternatives. That's fricking bullshit.

They're not. People have been criticizing Valve for this for years
>Valve releases a limited time sticker capsule for $.99
>years later, without from any support from Valve those stickers are worth up to 80-90k EACH
>high chance of some moron that bought a .25 cent sticker in 2014 now has enough money to buy a decent car
So I bought a knife for 200 and one year later sold it for 250. How is that bad?
capitalism is bad ok
Skins are worthless, I will just buy real gun (which I did).
>When did this absurd normalgay peawienering get normalized?
When Habbo Hotel came out two decades ago.
Want to thank AWP Medusa for funding my new PC
Valve bribes people and most will shut up if playing 100 hours means getting $5 in store credit. Their games are just casinos at this point.
When a generation raised from birth on smartphones grew up
>I'm now 10% elite
Nice!

>tfw made thousands with cs skins by being early
Thanks Valve
>counter str...afe
Why do people play games with unintuitive trick mechanics that players have to learn to be compeitive? It's so fricking stupid.
>gambling is le okay if i make money off of it
and yet you morons will scream your lungs out if any other game does the same
Slot machines are regulated in my country and will given infinite time and infinite spins return 80% of your money.
Lootboxes do no such thing and should be regulated.
when valve made lootboxes
I don't know how people can play the same game for 25 years without getting bored of the same maps, same guns, corner watching the same angles etc
>bought at 30 bucks
>now worth 530
I'm fine with russian and chink gambling addicts when it benefits me
