    Nonono, you don’t understand, dude. See, there’s these hats, right? But sometimes, the hat has this super rare effect, see? And, if I spend $2.50 per crate key, I can sell that unusual hat for more than I spent on the key, making profit. OR — hear me out — or: I could spend the unusual i unbox on MORE crates and keys, and get more unusuals.

    That’s not digital gambling, right? Right.

        What about when there was that bug in 2019 that made it so you could only get unusuals?

          I made hundreds that morning from selling all of my old crates. It was amazing.

          Quick edit: oh dick, that was four years ago already?!

      Hey, I sold all my hats for a Valve Index.

      But I DID also have a shady key guy I paid through PayPal who gave me keys for 1.20USD, so I was very lucky.

      I hate gambling, but I LOVED pixely hats. I’ve been to a casino only a few times in my life and it was almost always super boring. But the rush when there was a full server ceasefire so everyone could come stare at the firey hat I had just opened…
