CS:GO - Opskins defying Valve again and luring in workshop creators with their VGO.GG skin gambling website.


Opskins defying Valve again and luring in workshop creators with their VGO.GG skin gambling website.

Posted: 24 Jul 2018 12:29 PM PDT

I've been making CSGO skins for a few years now and it's been a life changing experience to have a chance to contribute to CSGO. Over time I grew to realize that a lot of third parties were exploiting the market for their own gain, often going way too far and bringing negative exposure to CSGO. Opskins was one of the latest companies that went too far and eventually got the hammer..Yet as I've learned after years of doing the workshop, where there's money to be made these companies will find new loopholes to exploit for their own benefit.

The latest, and most bizarre one has been the OPskins created spinoff called VGO.GG- Which is luring in workshop creators to create skins for their own Valve unsanctioned 'cases'. They literally have cases with VGO branded skins in them and are replicating Valve's economy in a gambling setting. They are still using Valve assets and models (Despite the cease and desist) but attempting to create their own side gambling economy. The promise of paying out to skin creators is luring in some of the community's best, and it's sad to see them actively advertising such a sham.

Their so called 'community manifesto' : https://imgur.com/a/RFYFhBk

It's all under the pretext of being 'for the community' but these are skins that cannot be used in CSGO at all (Despite their promise that they will be able to be equipped eventually). They just released a case called Weapon Case 3, which features a rare skin that they claim is worth $20,000...Gamble away folks! It's for the 'community' according to VGO. None of these skins can be used in CSGO but the illusion is being given you can relive the heyday of massive payouts.

I don't know if the workshoppers involved even realize what they might be risking associating with websites that have endured Valve's legal scrutiny before and contributing to this negative side of the scene. Overall it seems like Opskins plans to never learn their lesson despite it being laid out in black and white for them to not use CSGO assets in any shape or form. This spinoff is especially blatant as they're now trying to target the workshop creator community, which is a new low in my opinion. They are pushing their website hard right now on social media, I felt the need to bring attention to this after seeing what they're trying to pull.
