Counter-Strike Global Offensive has a separate fan base altogether. No game can ever overtake its popularity. Even celebrities spend thousands of Euros on it for their favorite accessories. The game has grasped people’s undivided attention for the better half of a decade. So, it is not a surprise to see the extent people go to for in-game cosmetics and other items.
