CS:GO keys are expensive because they're the gateway to unlocking those sweet, sweet weapon skins and other cosmetic items from cases, which can be worth a lot more than the keys themselves! Plus, the market is player-driven, so prices can skyrocket based on demand. It's all about that rarity and the thrill of what you might find inside a case!

Keys cost what they do 'cause Valve decided that's the price. They're the rare spice in the CS:GO economy, unlocking the treasure chests (I mean, weapon cases). Kinda like paying for a lottery ticket, not for the paper it's printed on, but for the chance to win big.

Honestly? It's supply and demand. People are willing to pay for the chance at something rare or valuable in those cases. Plus, since CS:GO is such a popular game, there's always a demand for keys.
