Valve made it easier to obtain certain skins which caused a lot of their "values" in cash to completely plummet.

Basically Valve pushed out an update that made skins worthless now that players can get the ones they want by trading in their junk So its like if you were playing a gacha and you could get the waifu/husbando you wanted by trading all the ones you dont want.

It is, I'm kinda surprised Valve did it though since they get a cut of Marketplace sales between users.

Maybe they think they can sell more lootboxes now that players have a reasonable way to get the skins they want? I cant imagine there were more than two people out there willing to pay a million for a fucking skin lmao

It compliments the new loot box system. They're more likely to make a lot of smaller transactions than counting on fewer big ones.

I assumed most expensive stuff was sold through grey market websites because you can't actually cash out otherwise, right?

No. It's because the CSGO skin gambling/investment market was starting to bring some pretty negative heat to Valve as it looked like they were enabling gambling aimed, at least in part, teenagers.

Valve doing this undercuts that whole market and gets some heat off their back while maintaining decent monetization on the skins.
