People still play this shit?
Oh, it's the second most played game on Steam. LOL

I'm through with multiplayer, no more, besides when I played those few times (first CS) with friends I ware always last :P. However yes, I know you have a large CS counter, so I'm really sorry to see that the game that you've enjoyed so much has been ruined by micro transactions.
As I see with the past-yeah I'll be like some kind of grandpa. Those 15-20 years ago people ware mostly focused on providing good product, now I feel focus shifted much more towards large profit at all cost.

i dont give a crap about the skin or cosmetic, it's not affected the gameplay
it's not like with skin you hit harder
but when they release new case, i always play to get it
for profit

What did you expect from this game at first really. What was the point of releasing the same game with the same game engine. After Tf2 experiments it was pretty obvious that CSGO will be a big e-sport and cosmetics mumbo jumbo.
But, to be honest, I dont think people were expecting so much milking from Valve.

It's going on the same route TF2 did, becoming a shitfest of hats, cosmetics and gun skins.

I hope they add those kind of gloves, it would be cool:

I have 3.8k hours in Dota 2 and 100ish hours in CS GO, so I'm familiar with Valve's business tactics.

Personally I despise the update as well, ever since the graffiti patch (a few months ago).

At the very least, they don't turn it to +2 damage or something, so still not pay2win (their main excuse to get away with it, or I always call it - tactic). I guess in that sense it's stil ok.

However, this puts me off. So never will I again spend money on CS:GO, ever. The reason why I still occasionally purchase stuffs in Dota 2 is because I like it - and probably people who like CS do the same thing as me in CS. Nothing's wrong.

The bigger problem is in CS, though. It's a B2P game, unlike Dota. There's more... how to say, indications that they really want to milk CS:GO's popularity by adding, albeit no gameplay effect, cosmetics like this very recent big patch. In that case, people's tolerance is lower than would be in Dota 2.

I'll just see how things going. This is not enough to stop me playing CS altogether, but with the rise of Overwatch interest, for me, I'd rather play OW for FPS and Dota 2 still for MOBA. Those two alone are enough to keep me busy and put CS off for a while.

The last time I've played CS was when there was a 1.6 behind it, not GO. Also dunno about toxicity in public matches or whatever, I always deactivate ingame chat. But it's nice to see how that circle of stupidity and greed works, maybe Valve just tries to somehow reassure kids that they'll be part of a pr0gam0r team like SK or mousesports (dunno who's on top now, don't care :x) just by wielding a virtual knife with a 500$ skin in a 10$ game. Like some sort of "At least he tried" medal.
I bet they could've made HL3 ten times, just with all the cash they got from market transactions. :]

I swear I watched a video in the past with someone saying that the future updates will include gloves, glasses, grenade skins, shoes, stattrak maps, and many more, but then he said "it's just a joke, don't hate me". He was just joking, but the new glove skins are here. So, will we see glasses, shoes, etc. too in the future? xD

I only play matches with bots and every cosmetic thing I ever got for CS or TF2 went to the market ASAP.

Senpai didn't notice me, I am so mad. So, I am going to sell all my 15$ worth inventory too

i'm glad that i have a small reminder why i don't want to play this game, Poll Requires Game To Vote ^^.

step1: purchase gloves
step2: namechange glove to "OJ's Glove doesn't fit"
step3: profit!

If they fix game first i would be ok with new case ,but its not what valve wants ,so i would be at least happy if in glove case only would be glove skins ;) but it did not happen and never will ,valve wants our money only..

From what I recall this was asked by the community after the teams used gloves in recent Starladder event and that was "Oooh so cool, volvo plz add".
I wasn't too suprised tbh, there will be stattrack ones ofc aswell counting how many miles you have runned ;)

no wonder they are making this useless stuff. there are dumb people who pay real money for pixels which has no purpose.

I don't have any problems with skins, since it does not affect gameplay at all. I had a pretty big inventory and I liked the skins I had, but I got a bit tired of csgo so I recently sold all of them on opskins and ordered HTC Vive for the money I got for them. :)

I want the next update to include ties, bow ties and fancy facial hair.

The gloves are just another cosmetic, while it is weird and entirely unnecessary, they're not THAT bad. In the future they just might add face mask and the option to create your character entirely. And if that happens... well that just wouldn't be CS:GO anymore. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE creating characters. But CS:GO doesn't need it. It doesn't matter what your character looks like, not even the skins truly matter (that's kind of hypocritical of me- I show off my skins all the time XD) but people are making this as a fashion show instead of just playing the game which sucks. The gloves are fine for now, but if we get any more new cosmetics that aren't weapon skins, I think it's going to go downhill. I'm just glad that there are still actual weapons inside of this case XD So at least they did something right about these gloves. Plus... I must say, I really like the look of the Moto | Boom! gloves :3 They're going to be expensive for some time though, I'm sure. But I don't exactly know.. I can't seem to find any gloves on the market yet.

So, I guess Valve forces you to get skins / gloves for this game, doesn't it? As far as I know your gameplay is not affected at all by those and I usually play without any skins at all and I'm still LEM.

Hmm, whining combined with advertisement towards a site called "opskins" detected.

You know owning the game doesn't mean you have to buy skins, open cases and such, they are for look anyway, doesn't add anything useful :P
CS:GO always was and will be money making machine and you can expect much more to buy in the future!

I don't understand why so many people are against skins. A bunch of my friends stopped playing Counter Strike because of the skins. If you don't like them, you don't have to buy them. What is more, a lot of CS:GO players wanted the skins for gloves afther they were used during some tournaments. I do realize that there are other major issues with the game that shoud be fixed. Nevertheless, I don't think that the same team of programmers would be responsible for the anticheat, 128-tick servers, operations and skins. Therefore, they could improve the rest of the problems anyway, without giving up the creation of skins. I don't really play this game anymore because I used to play at semi-pro level in Counter Strike 1.6 and I feel bad when I am loosing in CS:GO to people who are not really that good... It makes me really sad. ;x And I don't want to devote too much time for practicing anymore. So I just watch games between professional teams - and a good anticheat is really needed because it is becoming hard to watch... Pls Valve ban them...
