It will be a bit sad if even regular betting is curtailed completely. It's the sites that are just skin casinos that are the real problem, at least in my eyes. And if all the skin stuff does go to pot, eh, at least I only have the skins that I like anyway. There's also an extent to which skins cannot lose their value, simply based on the price of keys/crates and their scarcity.

Photex posted:Really? because the major just had a massive decline in viewers. Which happened prior to the gambling crackdown, and in my opinion was more due to the fact that the matches started at 4 am central time, and during working hours. MLG Columbus was late night US, and just after work EU, so more people watched

widunder posted:The last time I played CS at home I had a Half-Life CD and the CS mod installed (which I think was version 1.3 at the time). These days I'm on a Mac. Since the Mac gaming thread is archived I thought I'd ask here: will the CS games (1.6, Source, GO etc) that seem to be available for Mac on Steam will be compatible across platforms online, ie will I be able to play against other people who are on a PC platform? I played GO (and previously source) on a Mac and it is basically fine. Right now I use a mac mini and the recent updates for osx/linux have hurt perf a bit, but its still playable for the most part. You do play against people with PC's. I think playstation/xbone also go in the same servers as well.

So what kind of market crash could a guy who has no real investment but wants some of the shinier/rarer skins expect from this news?

No one knows because the market is silly to begin with. Traders with huge inventories will still be able to make money until places like g2a and cdkeys are shut down. I expect at most a 30 percent decline in skin values but it's anyone's guess. Probably a large decline in the next week then the prices should stabalize. Like jeza said, cases are still 2.5 per to open and reds are 1 percent drops

i'm curious what this means for cases, you could consider that gambling or is the loop hole that you always win so it's not really a gamble? I honestly see the future of skins costing a flat amount and being for sale on the steam market. $19.99 Dragonlores coming your way

i hope this axing of betting doesn't distract people from the fact that valve had no qualms about betting until literally today, after a cavalcade of bad pr was thrown their way, and i hope the us court system still throws the book at them for enabling this for so long aww, who am i kidding, valve is rich enough to just loving make a legal case take 20 years and by that time we will already have been killed in world war iii

I honestly see the future of skins costing a flat amount and being for sale on the steam market. $19.99 Dragonlores coming your way The legal criterion for gambling usually hinges on whether there is skill involved in winning goods, so random drops could be construed as gambling. Of course it's not legally gambling and thus illegal until you cash out the item, winning worthless virtual items is perfectly legal icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 07:17 on Jul 14, 2016 |

pretty sure columbus won't be touched anytime soon because CLG and liquid made it out of groups, c9 qualified, splyce qualified, and people in the US as well as europe could watch the matches at a decent hour. It was pretty hard for me to watch any of the cologne matches until saturday and sunday

Depths posted:Bless you tmartn, the consequences of your idiot donkey brain managed to wipe some embarrassing poo poo off of the csgo I have a feeling its the lawsuit against Valve that triggered this, not those guys. I hope skins drop in price so I can get some pretty ones. I don't think there will be a mad crash but I do think there will be a lot more supply and less demand = overall lower prices in general. More supply cause all the skins sitting in the gambling sites inventories will be back in individuals inventories, and who really needs 10 FT Asiimovs? Also less demand cause people wont need to buy skins for gambling, or using their lower valued gambling won skins to buy fancy ones for themselves.
