"In 2019 there was a brief time in which every single crate had a 100% chance of unboxing unusuals.
It was a crazy time of uncertainty for TF2 trading and item values.
All trading sites had stopped operation until Valve had sorted out this issue.
They had to do something that hadnt been seen before in an unimaginable scale.

They offered refunds for items obtained from the SCM without impacting the item sellers, meaning they covered any refunds out of their own pockets.

At the time nobody knew what Valve would actually do but a lot of people didnt seem to care and just kept unboxing Unusuals despite the incredible detrimental effect it would have had on the economy for TF2.
Despite the allure it didnt feel right to me to get an Unusual that way.
After all, what would be the point of having an amazing Unusual hat if there were suddenly hundreds of them?"
