Below is a thread of REP from people I’ve dealt with. THREAD BELOW:

I dont think im mentally capable of playing this game

FUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKK

@MarkSpurlock33 @CounterStrike @Steam Thank you goats @zipelCS @RobertB_CSGO @valvesoftware @CounterStrike You guys are the best

ITS BACK! ITS....ALL BACK! EVERY STICKER!!! omg...I'm shaking. I am at a complete loss for words🙏 From the BOTTOM of my heart, thank you @CounterStrike, @Steam, and the entire X community for the for 1K retweets and blasting this out there to reclaim my account! - Hawkeye337

@CounterStrike @Steam and thank you specifically to @RobertB_CSGO and @zipelCS for DMing me and helping to keep my head on straight during all this. This community IS the best and will always BE the best!

@shockedcs2 That is so sad to see, literally makes me so sad…

@50FiftyCS Since the Hawkeye got hacked: Imagine valve get a lawsuit rn and they have to enable everyone to remove stickers now. Even restore scraped ones??

Risking the sticker removal tool 🫣

@AgentJebek @xMercy_CS Aware of this. My reply was stating the fact that it was considered stupid for valve at the time. Scraping stickers would give them revenue from the tool and community market sales.

@50FiftyCS @xMercy_CS Knife tradeups - people open more cases and they have better ROI, extremely low tier knives are actually affordable for little Timmy now, fights the regulations (technically they have a "pity" system now) Sticker removal tool - what benefits would it have for Valve?

It might be a meme, but some people are either very naive or actually believe Valve would ever add a “Sticker Removal Tool.” Why would they do that? To make applying stickers pointless and destroy a market that’s been thriving for over 10+ years? To cut off one of their steady income sources from Major and store stickers? To make the new Slabs completely irrelevant? They literally said it themselves in the new update: "WITH NO COMMITMENT". "Not ready to apply your favorite sticker? We got you! Today we are introducing Sticker Slabs—charms that let you show off a sticker WITH NO COMMITMENT. Later, just break the slab to return the sticker to your inventory". I feel kind of dumb having to spell this out, but it seems like someone had to say the obvious.

@iluminado011_ @xMercy_CS Same to me, I never said they didn’t. But at the time the move was considered a fairy tale to the community.

@50FiftyCS @xMercy_CS Knife trade ups actually make a lot of sense when you further analyze it but that’s just my opinion.

@FrodoBeenStuffn I don’t expect them to release it as a drop. I only see them doing that if you remove stickers from a weapon

@50FiftyCS If they actually add sticker conditions it would be hilarious tbh

@PepeCat20 @xMercy_CS I would like to mention that there are this many ibp holo crafts, plenty to flood the supply. However some of these are inactive and some are already 4x crafts. With that being said there aren't many in the game full stop. Come on valve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@PepeCat20 @xMercy_CS Which is exactly why I’m taking the risk!

@xMercy_CS By definition the word commitment can mean a sticker can also have a limited number of applications due to the usage declining. That is still a commitment. But, that being said, no big deal if they don’t do it I’m more than happy enough to take a small risk for a larger reward!

@50FiftyCS Ok gl waiting for the dumbest ever move by Valve

@xMercy_CS Yes, like I said, I have read all of this and initially I was under the exact same impression as you. It’s just the text on the slabs that changed my judgement. I don’t think it’s an accident. If I’m wrong, hey, I can sell the skins for near what I bought them at a small loss

@50FiftyCS Ok, forget logic. Now what about this? "Not ready to apply your favorite sticker? We got you! Today we are introducing Sticker Slabs—charms that let you show off a sticker WITH NO COMMITMENT. Later, just break the slab to return the sticker to your inventory".

@xMercy_CS (Im thinking like how they previously have done things, contrary to common opinion) to clarify

@xMercy_CS I am thinking like valve. Also with this logic you would’ve said « think like valve, they won’t release knife tradeups! »

@xMercy_CS You don’t think there’s any logic behind this?

@50FiftyCS Jesus Christ, ok

@xMercy_CS Let’s assume we can remove a sticker once before damaging it; The sticker would still be fine to reapply but only once more, keeping the sticker supply alive. As well as changing the « mint grade ». I see future sticker sales being done in charms in this scenario.

@xMercy_CS They wouldn’t make future sticker sales irrelevant, and I thought this too. However there’s one of two options if they DO release the sticker tool. Either you get a one time use before sticker scrapes, or removing a sticker slightly scrapes it.
