while theres rank to grind? no, i think not.

Starting a riot over a game? That's a bit childish, isn't it?

It´s beyond me how virtual items in a video game can have real life value anyways. Like not in a way that they´re behind a paywall, as that would be good capitalism to exploit the kids - but that the people themselves make a market out of it.

The riot would need to target the people themselves - so it´s probably not going to happen.

Like crypto and NFTs, people are willing to speculate and spend big with the expectation of selling to bigger fools later.

They took the bread off the plates of their children. THEIR CHILDREN.

Just in Europe, they can't own real self defense weapons and that's all they got.

good, time to teach them that game cosmetics are useless.

I always wondered why so many Europeans play counter strike. Thanks for sharing Agenda. Makes sense. Atleast they got airsoft toys though, helps pass time acting and playing, they can have real body armor right?

Starting a Riot over Games would be a League of its own

If your "investing" your money into digital zeros and ones for a game. Then this should have been a wakeup call.

Someday all those skins will be worth exactly what they are worth, which is nothing.
