I enjoy to play Counter Strike Global Offensive and it is one of my favorite games at the moment. But features of this game have been slowly irritating me over time to the point i have to rant about it. Why are people buying knifes for $100+ for a game, doesn't that sound really stupid to you? I'd like to know everyone's opinion on the pricing of counter strike, surely its not only me that finds $100 even for a game steep? :suicide:

If I may, uhmm can I please ask you a question... uhmm why do you care what other people spend their money on? Hardly a rant really, if the knife is too expensive for you, you could you know just NOT buy it..

I dont understand why people care about what others do with their money.. Would I ever buy that knife? No, but just because I wouldnt doesnt mean others wont.

I dont, its just the fact of spending that much on pixels in my opinions stupid. Why do you think i care about what people spend there money on because i dont, its the fact of people getting blindly ripped off by a company and that's wrong.

If i had $400 to totally blow, I would buy a real knife...because...you know...it is real and i can hold it...

CS:GO teaches kids a lesson on gambling while they are young and legally steal all your money.

Here is a case opening simulator:

I don't see why you would care so much about what others spend their money on. I don't see it as a waste of money. In a way it's like asking why people buy expensive cars. In the grand scheme of things, a cheaper car does the same thing as the more expensive one, which is get you to and from your destination. Obviously the more expensive car will be a more comfortable ride and whatnot so this isn't the greatest example, but I hope you see what I'm getting at. I know that wasn't a great example and obviously could be and probably will be argued with, but that's the way I see it.

You wanna know why people spend that much? Its because of they want to get into trading they can start off with a knife. If they trade up high enough they can cash out and get a lot more money then what they originally paid for. Like some people have over $15K inventories and they could just cash out with basically 15K.

And for them "getting blindly ripped off by a company" they could just drop the price of knives to like 5 dollars, and its not like Valve set it up for them to pay for that much for a knife or a skin its the users that decided thats how much it goes for. Not valve.

"Why do you think i care about what people spend there money on because i dont" "its the fact of people getting blindly ripped off by a company and that's wrong" thats why :facepalm:

if the person buying the item is happy with the purchase, it obviously wasnt a rip off to them..

I would love to meat someone who would be stupid enough to spend $15,000 on a steam account with loads of virtual items for a game made in 2012 that gets older as the day does.
