Is this about cs:go skins or is it something else. I don't remember valve being deceptive (Not Defending Just Asking ๐Ÿ™„)

TF2 hats, CS:GO and the scammy gambling sites it enabled, DOTA2.

None of this is really better than what Fortnite does, and there's probably no big players in the gaming market with clean hands when it comes to this kind of thing. The successes take all the attention, and Fortnite wasn't even that big until they dropped the Battle Royale formula into it after the sudden popularity of PUBG.
