$6B Fantasy? Proof You Don’t Own Your Skins

Valve’s latest CS2 patch detonated the skins economy — reports say up to $3B vanished overnight as Trade Up tweaks let players convert cheap Covert “reds” into knives and gloves, sending prices into freefall. It’s a stark reminder that when platforms change the rules, your “digital assets” can disappear instantly.

Plus: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection drops with a brand-new Fatality Trainer to help you master every finisher, from Babalities to Animalities — launching October 30, 2025.

And in retro news, deadmau5 teams up with Atari for a limited-edition Atari 7800 cartridge, Meowingtons Revenge, playable on both the 2600+ and 7800+ systems.
