A major update to Counter-Strike 2’s item mechanics wiped nearly $2 billion from its $5.8 billion skin market, igniting debate over central control in gaming. The multibillion-dollar market for cosmetic items in the popular esports first-person shooter game Counter-Strike 2 crashed following an update to its mechanics.

That instantly increased the supply of knives and gloves, driving down their prices, while the value of the skins spiked amid newfound demand. Read more -
