What is The Economy? And Why is Valve Paying You to Lose?

by devaccess



When you play CS:GO, there’s a lot to pay attention to. Things like sound cues, team comms, utility usage. What strats are your opponents running? Who’s going to what bombsite? Did anyone buy a kit? And on top off all that, you still have to hit headshots.

But there’s one thing that dictates the game more than almost anything else — money.

I'm a fan of the changes. More exciting to watch, more gun rounds, less eco rounds. Gj valve

You know i play cs for fun but never got to thinka about the buying option even as an economic student that slipped my mind…..its great how this game is cokpetitive to every aspect even managing you own money

Here is an idea, tell me if it's good or bad:
Why do we even have win/loss rewards? Just give same money every round (maybe $2500 or smth).

If T's want more money than base income they have to make:
– Frags
– Bomb plant
– Bomb explode
If CT's want more money than base income they have to make:
– Frags
– Time runs out
– Bomb defuse

This way it becomes favoured to always try to do something, but teams never have to double eco and it still favours the winning team.

About that "communism" economy style where you can share your funds with your teammates, this is the case with Battalion 1944 and i honestly don't know where to begin in order to describe how bad this is. For example, in the first round everyone spawns with 1 token (Battalion 1944 currency). The thing is that if everyone decides to donate that one token to one of their teammates, he can afford a kar98-s (the equivalent of the AWP in this game, one shot kill in most cases) and suddenly your opponent has a sniper in the first round and you had no clue about it. Obviously there are ways around this for the devs to fix it, but you get the idea.

Awesome to see the ideas from my post in the previous video getting explored in more detail! I realize I'm not the only one that addressed these things and it's been a big talking point since the patch, but I like to think I contributed a little, lol.

My favorite part is that I go from 1-3 force buys, ecos or rounds were I buy little/cheap stuff down to 0.
Disclaimer: I am only silver and the first thing I was taught was the economy.

The Vitality vs North game is a bad example, as North lost like 7 in a row, the economy system is no different that way, they were still getting $3400. They were killing 3-4 CTs a round, and this was the reason for the lack of money for Vitality. The difference maker was these couple of "reset" round, which didn't really reset them. But after winning so many rounds in a row Vitality should've built a more stable economy themselves.

The other half of how messed up the logic of the cs-go economy is why the counter-terrorists are never fully funded despite basically being the FBI. Is it because they fight so often that it would cost too much to buy them their expensive but inferior weapons?

I thought ct's and t's had the same gun dealer. Wasn't this explained in the comics or smthn? The dealer is a double agent of sorts.

Just do a system where its like the existing ones.
Lose : +1 Round Loss Bonus (until max, no stacking) + Any extra money you earn for bomb plants and kills.

Win : -1 round loss bonus (no cash out)
Extra money + Winning money
