This is *surely* one of the most expensive video game glitches of all time. Can you think of any other video game bugs that resulted in more money being spent by players, or more expensive reparations for the developers? I also went for a bit of a new style with this video... what did you guys think? I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it!

great video, it's sad that valve shows time and time again that they're still capable of communicating and making significant changes to the game, but only when it affects their pr (like when they muted f2p after news articles started reporting bots using slurs) or their bottom line (this) also wanna point out your editing has gotten really good with these last few vids :)

The one time unusual stimulus actually did a lot to boost the trading scene at the time. I don’t have any stats but it seemed that trade servers were filled and the temporarily lowered bar of entry for unusual trading introduced a lot of people to the market.

It wasn't Unusuals that were discovered, Casper, we realized that we got really lucky with Killstreak Kits from the 83 case but sometimes it gave away an unusual; but it was like 10-15% of the time. Then, we tried the really old cases, and that's when it hit us just how broken this update is.

I unboxed exactly 1 crate during that event. In my 13 years of play, it's my only unusual unbox. It's only worth 8 keys today, but it is mine. I also sold my entire stock of keys because people were panic buying them from the market well above what the ingame store was selling them at, but we dont gotta discuss that bit

One thing I never understood is why people thought they'd get some sort of reward for not doing it. Valve messed up entirely on their part, it'd be like not taking advantage of a free food item coupon that was distributed by accident, and wondering why you didn't get rewarded a free food item for not using it. It's not similar to the conditions of how the cheater's lament was originally given out in the first place either, so I genuinely don't know why people were expecting something.
