@David Montgomery nobody's forcing anyone to make skins... getting your skin picked is like winning the lottery, if someone set out with the goal of "I'm going to get my skin added to the game!" then they'd be delusional
@David Montgomery how is a company saying "hey make a design for us and if we like it we'll buy the rights to it and pay you 200k" exploitative like there's some logical jump there that I'm just not understanding? your statement would be true if they used/benefitted from any/ALL skins that people made or something? Valve is not making money off of skin creators that they don't pay. if you're a graphic designer by profession, you can once again totally just not make a skin for Valve. Your strawman just doesn't even make any sense. *How* is that the same thing in any way? Working a job is something you need to live. People don't typically subsist off of entering art contests and hoping they win the 1/10000000 prize. It's something they do as a passion project if they have interest. Do you think the game would be better off if Valve took the approach of making every single skin in-house? Skins would suck and people would be constantly whine about how skins don't come out frequently enough/are boring/why can't I make a skin it'd be way better than this
A Dota 2 like big prize pool actually would be a problem for CS:GO.

the idea of that 'one person is going to be ahead of you on the ladder and one person behind' is such a smart pitfall that they avoided. when everything is valued because of the same things, the people who actually hold all those values at the same time become fewer and further between until you end up with no way to trade anything without having someone get screwed over. i also think it created the perfect world for expensive sticker crafts; people who value something like the heritage/nostalgia or super high floats can use stickers to add the aspects of rarity, aesthetics, or uniqueness through that system

They are unlikely to release a new counter strike now they’re just going to keep updating GO. There’s already rumours of when source 2 drops the game will be renamed to just counter strike. And if they do for some reason eventually want to make a new cs then they would have to find a way to incorporate the existing skins into the new game. Personally I think there’s way to much risk involved in creating a new cs as it could instantly ruin the economy they worked hard to create and if the new game is not received as well they are probably still likely to lose a large percentage of csgos player base as they will more than likely no longer be adding new content to csgo.

Guys, she's not only smart because of her work on the economy around the game, but she's actually super smart when talking about decisions and interpreting data. You can see that when she answer the question about stickers being polarizing, she already understood back then that on the internet there's always a community who's vocal and another who just silently enjoys the game and would wait the release to form an opinion. She knew the person questioning was talking about a small anecdotal experience and was so sure their decision was right.

I really enjoyed listening to her.
I was going to look up the original talk but I'm glad I watched this instead. I laughed my ass off hearing your commentary and how excited you get over skins. I really respect the level of passion and dedication you have. I wish I bought more skins back then. I remember thinking 15 dollars was way too expensive for a desert eagle skin (blaze). I was going to buy the glock fade too, but decided against it. Should have went with my gut and love for skins lol
it's interesting to see how they came up with it all . I am glad they introduced agents. The skin itself is not important to me - it's the unique voice chat that I love the most. I could live with having the same basic models with ability to make slight tweaks , such as different colour helmet visors or type of camo (as an example of CT), but the voices is where they really nailed it, and it does not interfere with gameplay. It's the voices that I care more about. I had a break from CS GO and when I went back to it month before the CS2 was released, i was blown away when I first heard the Australian Bloody Darren voice. Went to the market right away.
Actually a big thanks should go to third party skin sites where you can get real money for your items . Steam community market is kinda worthless for players . But valuable for valve .
They know all about it. Before CSGO existed there was a thread on the steam community forums that had a lot of input, many of us explained how important extremely rare items were and the supply demand dynamic etc, but the other big thing that me and others made obvious was how important having turnover and data was. They didn't give us an item stats tool though, which was requested. Private inventories is possible while also having full stats of item existence.. instead we have to guess and assume there isn't some private inventory with 1000000 Kato 14 capsules
Gamebanana has been around for a long long time it was where you could download skins for your guns for cs:cz, 1.6 and source. It used to be named FPSbanana. However, they branched out from there to include more games than fps's. FPSbanana and gamebanana used to also be where you would download maps for your servers and if you wanted to download a map so you didnt have to wait for the crappy game server to download the map to your pc.

Steam marketplace exploits networks effects in perfection to generate value to players and themselves at the same time. No new invention of digital marketplaces, but they strengthen the value to an extreme by providing interactions and trading between players.
This woman was thinking ahead of the time man. All CSGO devs were ahead of their time. The thumbnail of this video is so true. Id prefer blacksiimov over normal one and battlescared flashback skins
I doubt skins would ever have become so popular if that was the case. The appeal of skins is an investment you can show off in game but you can sell them if you get bored. I'm not going to buy a 500$ knife just to not be able to use it
Factory new would be more common and battle scared would be the rarer ones So you could have gotten a skin and over time the more you played with it the rarer it got Man ngl I kind like the scared and stained skins they look cool
Honestly I hate the fact I can't get a skin I like because anything decent is over $50-$100 (which i cant jystify spending outright) but if I get a good skin, then it feels way more special tbh
Wow, what a great content you brought up there. Didn't know this conference exists. I was in wonderland too just by listening to her ❤ Thanks for bringing it up again to show it to us. Greetings from Cologne, Germany
I would love to see the slide, where they talk about how cheaters are profitable and one should not ban them totally. Better ban a few of them periodically, so that they invest again and again. While annoying us normal players again and again...
dude the little bits of money they make on a pass versus the effect it has on their reputation is unbalanced too many hackers and the whole house of cards comes crashing down. besides do you realise that csgo rakes in some 95 million a month from skin transactions these days ? bruh they dont need more profits on a ten year old game. its very profitable w/o the extra 5million from hackers accounts and thats a generous estimate
when she talks about new weapons she was talking about CZ, revolver and other new weapons that werent in CS before. Not implementing new weapons you have to buy completely.
i dont think ohne realized it took them two days just to finish the lighting effect for a skin of a weapon. hundreds of skins and many guns... thats a lot of work
this is soo nicely played, a genius invention and perfect data analysis and adapting to the findings. BTW: Today it's breaked over 1.5 Min players: Which is ca. 15 x the amount of the chart of 2014 holy shit! - More players means more money in game ;)
has no one opened up about how the prices/payment work for the people who get a skin in the game? she's a straight game economy Yoda and people who have played warzone will know all about character skins Rose skin for example lol
they know about the hyper sought after skins and don't worry about not being able to list them on steam market because the percentage of items there are for that is too minuscule in comparison to the overall market and it fits their free market strategy because its only the players who see that knife as $1,000,000
unfair if not even a little bit of a market manupilation if you see the data they got (43:12) vs. the date they give the buyers/sellers on the community market don't ya think? Interesting video tho for sure
The market is food for those standard 0.01-2,000.00 value skins the rare uber price ones need those sites. And those sites also need people bloating them full of 1$ plus skins for real cash instead of steam wallet
I watched about 16 minutes of this and then checked how much time was left on the video..... I'll be real though, she doesn't seem to be as passionate about this presentation as you would expect a game dev to be when talking about their game.
Oh man this was the hardest watch man, ohne just pausing and having a full 2 minute stroke and just ending on “…. JA??” And continue like nothing happened
Execution much later happens for so many games. I seen how World of Tanks is developed than i saw the stuff they had finished and two years later it was in update.

Thanks for bringing it up again to show it to us.
Greetings from Cologne, Germany
that's what good planning does i guess. LOVE THIS
I would love to see the slide, where they talk about how cheaters are profitable and one should not ban them totally. Better ban a few of them periodically, so that they invest again and again.
While annoying us normal players again and again...
dude the little bits of money they make on a pass versus the effect it has on their reputation is unbalanced too many hackers and the whole house of cards comes crashing down. besides do you realise that csgo rakes in some 95 million a month from skin transactions these days ? bruh they dont need more profits on a ten year old game. its very profitable w/o the extra 5million from hackers accounts and thats a generous estimate
2:18 Bruh they used old Nuke for this slide 😭😭😭 I miss it so much
8:55 bro is speaking in enchanting table
How much we love this game ❤
When you watched it and you don't even care about skins but the way ohne melting over just kept you watching it lmao
9 years later, you can now submit sprays on workshop! context: 1:16:30
You know how intransparent a company is when you are hyped to hear things like this for the first time xd
I thought Riot was intransparent but damn
when she talks about new weapons she was talking about CZ, revolver and other new weapons that werent in CS before. Not implementing new weapons you have to buy completely.
Where's my arms deal agent? Should put him in the game. @39:31
Valve was or still is actually the company with the highest revenue per employee (01:40).
i cant take this guy's hyping this up when he drinks out the side of his mouth like a sonic character.
Ahh good old cs 1.6 even without skins so manny players played it .. and actually enjoyed it xD still see manny players in cs1.6 servers
CS/CSS are pure CS. None of this modern bs that ruins games.
this guy was batchesting the whole time
weapons wear over time. would be the worst idea ever. I would never invest in a single item if that was the case.
Chat actually spamming booba on a fucking GDC talk please just switch tabs and get it out of your system
i dont think ohne realized it took them two days just to finish the lighting effect for a skin of a weapon. hundreds of skins and many guns... thats a lot of work
this is soo nicely played, a genius invention and perfect data analysis and adapting to the findings. BTW: Today it's breaked over 1.5 Min players: Which is ca. 15 x the amount of the chart of 2014 holy shit! - More players means more money in game ;)
has no one opened up about how the prices/payment work for the people who get a skin in the game? she's a straight game economy Yoda and people who have played warzone will know all about character skins Rose skin for example lol
Seeing a Millenia skin in 2023 is hype
This is my lucky video, unboxed ursus sapphire whilst watching it. Jheeeez
they know about the hyper sought after skins and don't worry about not being able to list them on steam market because the percentage of items there are for that is too minuscule in comparison to the overall market and it fits their free market strategy because its only the players who see that knife as $1,000,000
Just purchased my first ak for 24 cents, glad to do my part
9:43 weapon mesh changes?? Pog
unfair if not even a little bit of a market manupilation if you see the data they got (43:12) vs. the date they give the buyers/sellers on the community market don't ya think?
Interesting video tho for sure
sadly, i could only finish 5 minutes of this interesting movie
The urge to say mother when she showed up on the screen
Back in the day, downloading models and changing the files to see community made skins ingame 🙏 Different times 😅
VETERAN SKINS SOUND SO COOL IDGAF
yeah she actually made it sound cool lol
Why dies Ohne drink water like he had a stroke?
The most important factor behind CSGOs success .. third party skin sites .
Otherwise we wouldn't see such big growth if it was only steam market .
The market is food for those standard 0.01-2,000.00 value skins the rare uber price ones need those sites. And those sites also need people bloating them full of 1$ plus skins for real cash instead of steam wallet
I watched about 16 minutes of this and then checked how much time was left on the video..... I'll be real though, she doesn't seem to be as passionate about this presentation as you would expect a game dev to be when talking about their game.
I was on her website and it says she is still at valve
nevermind its wrong
so character customization has a much higher chance being added in cs2 now after i see this.
52:44 inventory review .....
I remember when a case hard Ak was 40$
I feel like ohne is the type of dude to invent skins if they were never added and then still get an NIP.
Oh man this was the hardest watch man, ohne just pausing and having a full 2 minute stroke and just ending on “…. JA??” And continue like nothing happened
Execution much later happens for so many games. I seen how World of Tanks is developed than i saw the stuff they had finished and two years later it was in update.
As a gun nut these folks where/are on point
24:59
Subtitles: LOL lol lolllll
Back when P250 headshoted thro Helmet for less than a rifle :D
