The Valve’s famous moneymaker, CS:GO skins market, loosely attached to well-known game Counter Strike: Global Offensive, just crashed in a spectacular way and it is all down to Valve.
If you don’t know how much money is being laundered, sorry I meant exchanged, via CS:GO skins market, then clearly you have lived a full life. Let me just explain that it is billions of dollars. Supposedly. At least in theory, because the skins are nothing else than good old NFTs, just loosely based around the game itself.
By changing one detail in the market rules, the fact that you can exchange few low-value items for a single high-value item, all the rarity of NFTs on the market has more or less vanished. The "investors", as they call themselves, had lost between 30 and 50% of their collection "value".
Of course, just like with other NFTs, no one sane would buy them for any other reason but to sell it later for higher value, but in theory they can be used in the game itself. According to some sources, the overall "value" of the items in the market have dropped overnight by 3 billions dollars.
And all the rest of us can say, apart from the "investors", is... oh, well, never mind.

How Cyberpunk 2077 made history and what you should learn from it
Cyberpunk 2077, new game from CD Projekt Red studio, premiered on 10th December 2020 and, just like rest of the year 2020, it was a painful experience. Although after about 8 years in production developers made history, I don’t think that was the way they wanted to do it.
Ubisoft is here to help you... basically
Ubisoft, a company once known for their games, have published a remake of one of their better titles, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and again, poop hit the ventilation device. And yes, for the obvious reasons.
Wargaming is leaving Russia and Belarus
Wargaming.net, a company behind World of Tanks and World of Warships (also World of Warplanes, but realistically who cares?) is apparently leaving Russia and Belarus.
If it is free, you are not the customer
Wargaming, company behind World of Tanks, World of Warships and World of Warplanes, is known for its predatory marketing approach towards customers, so article like this is nothing new or nothing surprising, but there might be people unfamiliar with the topic, so... Yeah, there are things that need to be said.
Someone give this man a hug!
Do you know what is the laziest trite in writing a story? To finish it with "it was all just a dream". Unfortunately, some people don’t know that, and so we have another episode of KSI’s meltdown saga.
