And the fact that the sprays are monetized isn't the catch.

FAQ

"How many times can I use a graffiti pattern?
When a player unseals graffiti they can apply that pattern 50 times. Players who unseal a graffiti pattern they already have in their Inventory will receive 50 additional charges to their existing supply."

Monetized and it's a limited use item that you have to keep buying. Brilliant job Valve, really putting it to your fanbase.

[Wolf Akela]

I miss picking any image (or even GIFs) I want as sprays.

 

[Reebot]

We live in the darkest timeline.

 

[Complistic]

No way is this a thing.

 

[wbEMX]

This is just fucked up.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Valve: We Make Games Money

 

[Yukinari]

Theres seriously a fucking spray that says EZ?

 

[inky]

Can I gamble with these?

 

[bounchfx]

bahahaha

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Jesus Christ.

 

[goldsoundz]

I was looking forward to porn .gifs like the good old days. Now we get no porn and have to pay for spray "charges?" BULLSHET.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

 

[RionaaM]

OK, this is ridiculous. Are there custom graffitis, like in CS 1.6? Or is this the only way? If it's the latter then this is pretty fucked up, CS GO isn't F2P.

 

[Unicorn]

HAWKEN did this. No one plays HAWKEN now.

Just saying.

yeah man i was kind of looking forward to meatspin sprays again

 

[alr1ght]

Game is still not F2P.

 

[deoee]

Valve is just the best

 

[SoundPulse]

Well, I figured that if Valve would ever add them into CSGO, they would specific things you buy.

Didn't expect them to be a consumable, though.

 

[Don Lapre]

RIP

 

[Bear Force One]

Worst. Developer.

 

[Firehead]

Prefer meatspin sprays over this shit Valve's pulling. This is ridiculous.

 

[JBwB]

I miss the CS:Source days where you were able to select any image you wanted as your tag.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Valve staying dirty just to keep steam afloat.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Theres seriously a fucking spray that says EZ?

At least use the original SpongeBob gif.

 

[Kalnos]

They removed them? That's fuckin' dumb

 

[deoee]

Worst. Developer.

"Developer"

At this point they are just disgusting

 

[Nyoro SF]

Wow. This has to be a bad joke.

It seems like such a far cry from where Valve used to draw the line with this stuff.

 

[Zia]

Keep in mind the idea is that this bullshit facilitates the creation of content for a game Valve has turned into a "service," yet there's been one, ONE, single fucking content update in 2016.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Nobody ever uses these limited quantity items Valve adds. I don't know why they even bother

TF2 noisemakers? TF2 dueling tokens? Dota 2 river paint? Nobody ever uses any of those because they're limited use items.

 

[g859]

This is exactly what I needed to reignite my interest in CSGO.

 

[Guess Who]

Valve has gone to total shit.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

this is why we don't get HL3

 

[Pooya]

Good move, it discourages digital vandalism!

 

[dimb]

This is not what PC gaming is about.

 

[darthbob]

This can't be real.

Sprays have been a thing in CS since... since well, CS.

This honestly just looks like a cash grab, like Valve needs any more fucking money....

 

[Fahzgoolin]

Dear Valve,

You fucking suck.

 

[Quadraphonic]

And people will line up to buy it.

 

[The Faceless Master]

pay to spray brehs

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Half-Life 3 must be costing them a LOT to make.

 

[Darkangel]

Just let us use anything we want and put a "show sprays" toggle in the options.

Give us Half-life 3 you hacks.

 

[RoboPlato]

Valve has really gone down a sad trajectory, haven't they?

 

[Pooya]

I'm waiting for a Overwatch ad showing off infinite sprays.

 

[LelouchZero]

Booo! I need my anime sprays!

 

[Yukinari]

Nobody ever uses these limited quantity items Valve adds. I don't know why they even bother

TF2 noisemakers? TF2 dueling tokens? Dota 2 river paint? Nobody ever uses any of those because they're limited use items.

Noisemakers are pretty much dead aside from the yearly winter and birthday noisemakers everyone gets for free. Its a stupid concept.

 

[AESplusF]

It's getting pretty clear this isn't the same Valve.

 

[Forerunner]

Make Take your mark money.

 

[TGMIII]

Valves mishandling of CS over the years is absolutely pathetic. As much as Half-Life built the company Counter-Strike was a huge reason people even bothered with Steam when they forced everyone to it after shutting down WONID. It's a game that has helped Valve grow into the company they are today and each time they get their hands on it they seem to make sure they do something wrong.

I honestly do begin to think at this stage just how many people at Valve truly care about putting out a fair, quality product. The very thing they championed in the beginning.

 

[shandy706]

Wait....is this seriously like a tag/spray-paint image thing?

Like in Jet Set Radio?

...and you have to pay for a limited number???!!

Bahaha

 

[FunkyMunkey]

not today satan valve
