Nonono, you don’t understand, dude. See, there’s these hats, right? But sometimes, the hat has this super rare effect, see? And, if I spend $2.50 per crate key, I can sell that unusual hat for more than I spent on the key, making profit. OR — hear me out — or: I could spend the unusual i unbox on MORE crates and keys, and get more unusuals.
That’s not digital gambling, right? Right.
i know that this is talking about tf2, and yes this is gambling you have a problem
What about when there was that bug in 2019 that made it so you could only get unusuals?
I made hundreds that morning from selling all of my old crates. It was amazing.
Quick edit: oh dick, that was four years ago already?!
Hey, I sold all my hats for a Valve Index.
But I DID also have a shady key guy I paid through PayPal who gave me keys for 1.20USD, so I was very lucky.
I hate gambling, but I LOVED pixely hats. I’ve been to a casino only a few times in my life and it was almost always super boring. But the rush when there was a full server ceasefire so everyone could come stare at the firey hat I had just opened…
