    With the shift from CS:GO over to CS2, how’s it messing with your big-picture plans for skins and inventory? I used to stack ’em up endlessly back in the day, grinding drops like crazy to build out my loadouts. But that wild market crash last year wiped out half my AK values overnight—now I’m torn between cashing out or riding it out for a bounce back. Feels riskier to commit long-term these days. Anyone rethinking their hoarding habits?

    It’s nuts how the whole skin scene flipped after the engine swap—values yo-yo harder than ever, with one patch sending knives through the roof and covers tanking. Spotted tons of old-timers unloading vintage pieces they babied for years, while new grinders chase those rare weekly drops like it’s a job. Kinda shifted the vibe from chill collecting to straight survival mode in inventories.

    Yeah, totally feel you on that crash—it nuked my covert stash too, down like 40% in a week. Got tired of staring at depreciating pixels, so I dipped into some cs2 gambling sites for low-stakes case battles and upgrades. Flipped a couple cheap pistols into decent mid-tiers without raiding the main vault, honestly kept it chill and exciting. Makes me way more selective now, only holding what I actually play with instead of blind collecting.
