Do you think that you sometimes waste money on unnecessary things? You have not seen anything yet

The Counter-Strike World Championship ended at the end of the week. The American Cloud 9 group became the new world champion and received a prize of half a million dollars. One gamer decided to spend $ 61,000 on a unique souvenir from the event.

The Gamer purchased Skin for one of the weapons in the game, which was inspired by the winning team and even includes the signature of the professional skader Skadoodle For a final sum of $ 60,052, this anonymous gamer became the only player in the world with this item so that anyone who sees it uses This weapon in the game will immediately inform the person in question.

It should be noted that this is a design set only for a virtual item, which gives no competitive advantage in the game itself. In the game community there is great criticism of such deals. These cosmetic items should provide an incentive for "regular" gamers to play and watch events, hoping they will receive rare items in random "boxes".

But in most cases, gamers who get the rare items do not keep them for themselves, but sell them in the gray market for a lot of money. The gamer who sold the current weapon was not the one who received it. He bought it for $ 35,000 (and then sold for almost double the price). Instead of playing - these players turn the game into a market.
