StatTrak Music Kits sell for around $10 when you buy them from Valve, but go for up to $40 on the Community Market, where Valve gets a cut of all sales. Let’s say I make a post about StatTrak Gloves being added to the game and how it would be “so funny, oh boy classic Valve amiriteguyz?” That shouldn’t be taken seriously.Īt the same time, I can see how Valve might see capitalizing on memes like the StatTrak Music Kit as something akin to creating a “gag gift.” Items like these are something you might buy for yourself or a friend because you can’t believe it actually exists, and you’ve got expandable income floating around. Most memes are created as jokes, something that shouldn’t be taken seriously. With that in mind, does an idea being thrown around as a joke warrant the development time it takes to actually implement that idea in the game? After you see it enough times, you’d probably send a messenger pigeon to the CS:GO department and tell them to make StatTrak Music Kits a thing.Īt the same time, the idea of StatTrak Music Kits started out as a meme floating about on the GlobalOffensive subreddit. Say you’re a Valve developer and you’re browsing the GlobalOffensive subreddit and see people joking about StatTrak Music Kits.
If they see that the community is buying what they’re putting out, then they’ll keep making it. I realize that asking Valve to stop shipping useless microtransaction updates is like yelling at a tree to stop drinking water, but from a business perspective, I can understand why they keep doing it. Why Does Valve Focus on Microtransactions? Much like with StatTrak guns, StatTrak Music Kits are identical to their non-StatTrak counterparts, but at least with StatTrak guns you can see how many kills you’ve gotten with that specific gun, something which can be used to show your overall proficiency and preference for that gun. Headshots, on the other hand, require precise aim, timing and a number of other factors that are attributed to a player’s individual skill. You can earn them by defusing the bomb, planting the bomb, securing the most eliminations in a round, or rescuing a hostage. I would much rather have an item that keeps track of a number of other in-game statistics, like headshots, grenade kills, or rounds where you dealt a certain amount of damage. I still can’t fathom why you’d want to buy a Music Kit that keeps track of your MVPs. But there’s one update that has never ceased to piss me off: the introduction of StatTrak Music Kits. Two good examples of this would be the update that introduced the broken R8 revolver and messed with the recovery time and accuracy values of the AK-47 and M4 rifles, the game’s most iconic weapons. It’s the common knowledge of any CS:GO fan by now that Valve has made some less-than-sensible updates to the game.
