Yes.

Yes, because now those common skins that lots of people have are going way up in price. And every time someone cashes skins out for an item, those skins vanish. Which makes the price of the skins go up even more. Exponentially so for covert skins that don't drop anymore.
This move has effectively transferred a fuck ton of wealth from the bourgeosie to the proletariat.

Yeah it kinda balanced out the economy, and probably raised market prices overall so they still make more money

One Covert skin collector says that their 609 hitherto “worthless red skins” are now worth £3,329,612 on the marketplace. One respondent comments that “my knife just dropped $1,400 in value in the span of 30 minutes”.
Aaaahahahaha

A knife in the inventory is worth .00000000001 a knife in your pocket.

If this was billions of dollars worth its 99.9% money laundering related.

I think it'll settle after a while, covert items will come back down in price. Really good change from Valve. Though removing MTX entirely would be preferable.

Maybe don’t build a billion dollar market on video game skins? Am i also supposed to feel bad for NFT people?
