uberchainReally enjoy how somebody left the offices, confident that a Ricardo Milos hat would keep us entertained until they rolled out the Halloween update 3 months later when the playerbase increases temporarily, not realizing that all because of the uncrating bug, the future would hold:
- A bunch of people giving them not just Oopsie Whoopsie money that they might go "well look on the bright side my dudes" to their co-workers for, but literal Fuck You Money by buying Something Special rings with their $100 earned within the first hour or two that this happened to say gg valve tf2 economy is gone crab emojis in the chat
- Also I guess the people who have made hundreds to thousands of income from this sort of thing absolutely getting their profits destroyed but most people know about that one
- Netherlands and Belgium trades to their friends increasing as they get people who don't have crates banned to help them hook up with the free headspot sparkle-sparkle for the easier headshot shooty-shooty
- Over 80,000 crates within 3 hours of this happening being swept away in sales en masse from the Steam marketplace and was still counting probably up to idk 300K+ until literally almost one hour ago
- Blapature Bash is this weekend probably needing Unusual donations disabled, which make a huge chunk of cash for charity efforts for TF2 charity streams, because Unusuals have gone from $100 CAD to as low as $3 USD, which will also hit any other donation effort in the future such as Tip of the Hats or Hugs.tf if this isn't remedied decently like Whisker had said in le economy thread
- The Ricardo hat, as well as 5 other cosmetics added to the game this update, unfortunately being made by racist/transphobic/ableist/you name it sacks of shit who have bullied, doxxed, and harassed other item/map creators (e.g. straight up making a fake patreon of a dude who had autism spectrum disorder and filled it with many an awful racisms, finding and posting people's facebook photos and laughing at how they weren't ReAL GrilLz ExDDDee) and they're still making money off it + the other numerous items they have in the game, and will probably continue to have as long as they can still threaten people who have called them out and Valve will continue to not vet them but hey at least u got that
But for anybody else who I guess are trying to make people feel sympathetic or make people who participated feel bad for participating in this (shoutout to the fella who deleted their crates in public for Good Guy Karma after telling me I was virtue-signalling last year during August when harassment was being called out), go on, tell me how I should feel like those people should be punished severely, over a mistake a company made involving a game the higher-ups have chosen to update only ever once in a while primarily because it still makes them money.
