Hacker manages to steal an estimated $2 million worth of items from a CS:GO player
I'm definitely not "jz poor" or whatever that mean, i won't be specific because this is pointless and even dangerous sometimes, on the internet. And i don't consider getting lucky in one case I opened for fun then selling to get a console i probably wouldn't get so soon (weak hacking scene at the time) as investment though, also you don't do investments while praying for luck, that's the recipe of getting "jz poor" by losing everything, what i said is why keep such a high value inventory just to show when he can sell all of that and invest in something solid, he definitely felt losing that money (and status).do you even have rich friends? from my experience of having many, guys like you that make comments like this are jz poor like me lol. amount like this don't really bother them, they spend what makes them happy and that's the point for them. poor dudes like you and me getting really lucky in investment probably won't even reach much of their wealth in our lifetime, jz kickback and watch, there is much more rich smurf in real life than u think
Well... Always found those things silly. If it's worth anything, just sell it.
If something I had reached that amount, I'd just sell and invest into a proper business.I could see it being a reasonable little earner enough to hang onto things (rare today and never printed again is super rate tomorrow), and to do some kind of trade setup for someone to have that one specific item that amuses them/find that one item that amuses them ("I want this, I have [all this] and happy to trade" sort of thing).
Was not me the did the deed but quirks, amusements and recognising of the amount of money that is in play that people would not necessarily think of (give or take Eastern Europe is CSGO that much of a thing these days?)... happily wins itself a spot from where I sit.I am confused as to why this warranted front page. It’s not like some major exploit was found or hundreds of players were compromised. It was one dude with too much money.
If this venture if making "proper business" levels of money (even more so as a side hustle -- once a day/twice a day do some trades for people and list things/answer emails... I have had harder jobs) then there could be justification (beyond the sentimentality some seem to show ""their"" businesses*) to stay in the game.If something I had reached that amount, I'd just sell and invest into a proper business.
Unless of course, he doesn't really care or need the money. That and I'm not really a fan of pixels being worth that much money.
I am not one to say what can or can’t be posted, just seems silly to me. This was one person and most likely compromised by a failure in security on the user’s end. I guess this could just be a cautionary tale. Have proper authentication processes in check and make sure your security is tight, else you end up like this dude.Was not me the did the deed but quirks, amusements and recognising of the amount of money that is in play that people would not necessarily think of (give or take Eastern Europe is CSGO that much of a thing these days?)... happily wins itself a spot from where I sit.
Do we know that this was gambling and not someone being the bank?Controverse opinion I know but: deserved, could have spent the money more wisely than on gambling ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The only thing giving it any worth is that it won't be replicated
Same, and I don't understand putting a price to something that is basically infinite and so meaningless.I personally think ingame items are worthless and I do not put any substantial amount of money into having them.
Various reasons.If you wouldn't buy $2,000,000 of CSG gear, why wouldn't you just sell it all if you had it? Buying and not selling is the same difference, unless it's not really worth two million.
