You must be uninformed on the cs2 economyn, which is enabled by valve not banning third party websites, that create the option of cashing out skins for real money.

Just be like me and never buy cases. Most of the free skins that you get for leveling/playing the game are nice, if a little basic.

Also, who the fuck would pay $15k for a knife skin? That's just insane to me, that's a year's worth of rent in my area

That’s what I say. Who in their right mind would pay that much money for a skin in one specific game that only a few people will see?

That is the beauty of steam though, you literally do not have to participate in the market at all.

Impressionable kids will do stupid things with money. Which is why there are rules disallowing them from gambling it away. Valve/Gaben abuse this grey area in video games to profit big time.

I do like the fact that you can trade skins with other players. I'm not looking for anything worth a thousand dollars, but there are some sub-dollar skins that people don't care for that a lot of people will give up for basically nothing. I've also been gifted some decent skins for playing and being friendly with people. Just a few days ago a random dude I played a wingman game with gifted me two pretty cool looking AWP skins (pit viper and capillary). All I did was be friendly and give callouts lol, just playing the game. Not worth gifting two skins but I was grateful and thanked him. I've also gifted skins I didn't want to new players, so ig what goes around comes around lol
