Will Source 2 Crash CSGO Item economy?

[Wutreden Uli]

So with Source coming to cs, it could be an addition to the game, the majority of the cs community is not going to enjoy, as it changes the game in different ways (e.g physics, looks of guns, overall feeling etc.) If Source 2 is widely considered a good update, people are gonna be happy and player rise will continue. With that the Price raise of Skins will continue aswell, as more players --> more expensive Items.
If Source 2 is considered negative impact (even if only at first, till people get used to it) that could mean a market wide drop of Skins, as we already saw happening today, with most Cases etc. going down -5%. People are afraid that the source update impacts the skin market, and panic/preventive sell their stuff. So Source 2 either could be life changing money, to skin holders and cs believers. Or it could ruin everything for a while at least. What do you expect for the skin market to happen, incase an Update does come out?

I think economy will not change. Valve gets too much cash because of good economy in cs go

fair point, yet they could come up with a new generation of skins (animated or different artsytle idk) which outdates oldschool skins, or make them more for collectors.

How do you get to these conlusions. Seen in % Crates and stuff went up way higher, way quicker than any skin.

Why thank you , OT : You can imo safely assume whatever happens in anyway Valve is gonna be very very cautious not destroying their precious money maker which is the cs go market.

didnt you just say that they were going down in value? I just made an assumption

Probably not, no real changes to skins if i would take a guess.
