Why are CS:GO case keys so expensive?

Simple: supply and demand, my friend. Everyone wants the cool skins and rare items, so the price stays up. It's all about the economics of virtual goods!

Honestly, they're not that expensive when you think about the potential return on investment. I once unlocked a knife worth hundreds from just a single key! It's all about luck.

CS:GO case keys feel like they cost an arm and a leg because they're basically the magical keys to potential treasure chests. The thrill of unlocking a case and possibly getting a super rare item makes them high in demand. Plus, since Valve sets the prices, they're kind of in control of the market, balancing the game's economy and keeping those rare items, well, rare.

Because Valve can. There's no other reason. They've got the market cornered and can pretty much charge what they want.

Overpriced? Definitely. Worth it? Sometimes. It's all part of the game's charm. Plus, those unlocks can be pretty sweet.
