To be fair, they may have just wrecked the CS lootbox economy permanently.

They need to keep wrecking it. Skins should just be fixed cost items.

Disagreed. Games like Fortnite and League of Legends went down this road and ended up at even more unfathomable $500 microtransactions. The only issue with skin trading is that people will take it more seriously than it is, which is a problem with all cosmetic systems.

It was getting out of control when tiktok "investment guides" were instructing people who don't even play the game to start buying CS skins to make a profit.

Nah. Digital items should be transferable, similar to physical gacha like Pokemon cards.

That doesn't mean they should be reliable speculation vehicles. AFAIK Valve hasn't interfered with the gifting of digital items, only sales.

There are huge gambling cultures around skins. All kinds of theft and scamming. There is no "only issue". There are tons of issues
