CS:GO fans know that Valve gets a lot of money from cases. But how much exactly? For a long time, there have been monthly statistics on the number of open cases. Fans have been running it for several years, which is actively used by traders - they invest in boxes that can soon soar in price.
There are skins that every user knows: Dragon Lore, Azimov, RedLine. These are the skins that everyone has seen, many want them, and many are tired of them. But did you know that there are even more beautiful cool skins that few people are aware of?
A CS2 skin creator can make from $0 to $400,000. This depends on the quality and how many designs are accepted. Valve allows anyone to submit designs through the Steam Workshop.
Counter-Strike hasn’t been losing popularity for more than 20 years. The latest part, Counter-Strike:Global Offensive, was presented in 2012. Despite the fact that the game was released ten years ago, its online presence continues to grow year after year, breaking eSports records. This is all thanks to constant updates, smart economy, and game balance. Even though the game is free, donations don’t affect the player's success in any way. Cases with different skins, which change a weapon's animation and look but don't change the game's balance, are the main way CS:GO makes money.
