creepio Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I've seen some people talking about 200,000+ keys popping up out of thin air. Would explain the sudden drop in key values. What I haven't really seen is people talking about volume sales of keys on the scm. They went from a few thousands per day forever to hundreds at the same time as the key population spike.

Abstract Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 50 minutes ago, hyro said: money laundering? [question mark] Plausible, however it's more likely that there was a backpack parsing wave that increased the amount of keys seen so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a very likely explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajdislikesyournamingpolicy Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 See what actually happened is that Gaben wanted to spice things up a bit and accidentally pushed the wrong button. Probably influx of cs traders using tf2 keys as currency idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olifur Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 players forgot about the crate depression already? players were buying keys to uncrate unusuals;hats were 5$. https://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=53025#:~:text=August 2%2C 2019 - TF2 Team,Unusual hat on every opening.&text=If you decide that you,on any number of them. mb thought you meant last year. I'll have to agree with the cs trader switching to tf2 currency theory, but the timeline might not fit, as the changes to csgo trading limitations were implemented long ago.

Free 2 Play Scootz Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 It could’ve been the steam api being down for 2+ weeks. If u remember, backpacks were not updating from like July 12 to July 30 or so. So the keys might’ve came from steam api returning and backpack finally being able to parse backpacks.
