A Delicious Cashew Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The TF2 economy? I doubt it. If anything, it might bring a small number of players back to the game, as people "work" from home and students "attend" classes virtually. The economies for different countries and overall the entire world? That's in a little more danger depending on how the virus continues to spread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeyomelette Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 In my personal opinion, I feel like this is a great time for investors to make mad amounts of money. Stocks are dropping faster than a crack addict running for a free line of coke. Eventually the market will recover but it's going to take quite a long time seeing that trends are going downwards and the companies have to compensate for the loss. Depending on how the federal reserve acts more in the future, I think for the most part we'll be fine. They've already sent out buy orders on stocks, putting lots of money back into the economy to keep it from crashing past the point of no return. In a more realistic sense, we're fucked. Our government doesn't really like to do anything unless it becomes absolutely necessary. They tend to believe that any problem that appears before them will disappear all on its own so they don't do anything until its declared a public crisis. I'm no expert on this, but we really need an economic stabilizer program from the government while taking care of the demand shock that's affecting businesses due to the consumer's sudden change in priorities. Even with that in place, there's no avoiding a recession at this point and businesses also have to jump in and change their shit. (i.e low interest rates given out by banks even though they're relatively low right now). The market will still probably bounce back, but as of right now, there's no avoiding a recession after the coronavirus. If it doesn't happen right after, then it's going to happen later on in the coming years. It's a long block of text but essentially what I'm saying is: We're fucked:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NineDevil Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I honestly think this is our least problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Dang Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Yes in the sense that, in general, cash is king now and people will likely be trying to scrounge up whatever leftover cash they have to buy some more 300% markup toilet paper, to make actual investments, or to pay off rent particularly if the virus situation led to job loss It's not likely to be a very significant effect though, probably just going to take the form of a few thousand extra keys listed on marketplace for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Dang Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I feel like I might be eating my own words on this; I don't see any significant effect on TF2 just yet (except maybe keys on steam market???) but there sure seems to be some on CSGO (which then again could be more due to the operation ending) But the economic impact is even harsher than I'd have thought, and even crypto is getting cashed, eventually someones going to bust open their piggy bank in TF2 then again who even reads this lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
