When you were a teenager and played CS skins were free. Now the game is aimed at the same age group but entices* kids to spend $2.50 for very low odds of winning at a slot machine and getting a skin worth thousands of dollars.
* Valve banned servers from "Allowing players to claim temporary ownership of CS:GO items that are not in their inventory (Weapon skins, knives, etc.)"
- frumper 4y agoMaybe it's just me, but I'd think it's hard for kids to spend $2.50 if parents don't give them $2.50 to spend. I don't expect kids to make good decisions about money, or gambling, or games. I put that responsibility on the parents.

- frumper 4y agoI agree with everything you just said, but I'm still in a place where I won't let my kids have the funds without me.
