How to get away with milking underaged gambling and fixing games, sponsored by the FTC

Disgusting.

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

As long as Valve continues to support a market and trading system this shit will persist in one form or another.

CSGO was a mistake.

I tried playing it with a few mates, a fair 60-70% of the people playing had egregious names that included not only clan tags but advertisements for their shitty skin gambling sites.
The game wasn't even fun, and the community is beyond volatile/trash.

valve constantly vomiting out skins into their titles was a mistake.

[QUOTE=usaokay;52661804]If anything, their reputations are in the toilet and pretty much most of the internet hate them.

BUT they'll continue to make an exorbitant amount of cash.[/QUOTE]

Considering most of their audience is easily manipulated children? I doubt their audience cares they're being used.

They'll probably be fine, and that's bullshit.

Fuck Valve.

I am sure only the 30% of its overall playercount is legitamentally playing the game, while the rest is only there for the skins.

Gambling sites were advertised heavily on the Workshop page as well. It's really disqusting how dirty this community can be.

That would make about 200.000 people just being there for skins. Yeah no. Despite CSGO and its issues, people who play ranked [I]never[/I] care about skins. And ranked is pretty much the most played mode.
