The article discusses the new highest-level Steam user, who has reportedly spent over half a million dollars to achieve this status. This user possesses a unique collection of items, including a Discord kitten and a $9,000 Counter-Strike gun that features a racial slur. The article also touches on the user’s potential rivalry with the individual currently in third place for the highest Steam level. It highlights the extravagant spending habits within the gaming community and raises questions about the implications of such investments in virtual goods.
Not the dumbest thing I’ve heard of huge amounts of money getting spent on it.
You hear about that dipshit who spent 44 billion buying one of the most popular social media sites in the world only to not use its name?
For anyone else curious, “Discord kitten” is apparently a (mostly sarcastic) slang term for “suger baby”. I was really hoping for actual kittens, but alas.
I had heard that term before, but was hoping there was some other meaning revolving around something in their steam inventory
Sugar daddies get sex out of it. That’s just simping for an egirl!
What the fuck is a discord kitten?
It lands somewhere between a camgirl and a runescape GF.
Do I even want to know what Discord Kitten is?
And to answer most people’s question, this is commonly referred to as being unwell. It the result of an untreated addiction, plain and simple.
If you need to ask, you do not want to know.
9000 dollars for a gun in CS!? I spent that much for my entire steam library. Sounds utterly disgusting to me.
Isn’t that not even a crazy amount for CS standards? Don’t get me wrong, it’s insane to me how people spend money on this. But i thought the most expensive items are in the 10s or 20 thousands.
Nah. The most expensive item in csgo is a karambit blue gem. One person offered 1.5 mil dollars for it and the seller declined because it wasn’t enough. It is speculated to be worth over 2 mil dollars.
Why?
Rarity. Even though its just pixels, it’s still rare.
Steam’s monopoly should be broken
I really wish the competition was better.
proton and steam workshop both have basically zero competition
