They should remove skins in CS2
All skins are just overpriced png files. Back in the day you could just install client mods and have your weapons look like anything you wanted it. Gaming has fallen.

Selling skins for a free to play game is exactly the reason CS even exists now. There’s so much money moving towards valve and the developers that theres no way skins would get removed. Skins make valve a billion every two years or something crazy like that

No1’s forcing you to buy anything though. You’re free to enjoy the default skins.

Valve doesn't sell any Counter-Strike skins directly. All skin prices are decided by the community.

Or maybe paying money for png that I could just put as a mod is not worth a single cent?

You can draw a funny face on your screen, but that doesn't mean anyone else is going to be able to see it.

No, in order to get those skins, you need to open boxes, which cost a key and those keys can only obtained with real money.

I live in The Netherlands and I can only sell lootboxes. We can't obtain in any way keys, because the lootboxes in CS GO is against our gambling laws. So, I'm forced to buy skins off the market.

And besides Valve get a small cut off anything that's being sold on the market. They might not sell skins directly, but they still sell those keys and they get a cut aswell from the Market. So, yes they still earn money with skins.

The game is free, you can perfectly play it without skins. And besides, some skins are very cheap.

Where exactly did I say that Valve doesn't make money? Valve clearly makes money. Nobody is disputing that.

I'm just talking in a general way.

I don't agree with "Valve doesn't sell skins directly." Because you still need to obtain a key from valve for real money to obtain the skin.

I would agree with you if Valve would allow people to upload their skin and the owner of the skin started to sell it on the market directly, without even appearing in a lootbox where you need to have a key to open.

Just be happy there are people that can afford to spend thousands of dollars so you could continue playing this game for having maintained servers :steamfacepalm:

The OP says that they are "overpriced". The prices are set by the community. Some skins are worth $0.03.
