The Criminal Origins of CS:GO's Most Controversial Skin
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 кві 2021
- There are plenty of iconic CS:GO skins: the Dragon Lore, the Karambit, the weebtacular Akihabara Accept.
But none is more legendary than the M4A4 Howl.
When Valve first introduced the skin market back in 2013, no one could have predicted that, one day, a skin would sell for six figures.
How could that even be possible? To answer that, we have to go back to the very beginning of CS:GO skins.

I sold my MW Howl years ago for just over 400 bucks... This is like pouring salt in a freshly reopened wound...
Dude..... Aaaagh that hurts, sorry for your loss
It's fine. No one knows the future and you probably needed money at that specific time. Time to move on.
i selled +80 krakow 2017 legends capsules for .5 each
Brother I unboxed one in the early days and only got 50 for it thinking I was the shit. The opening to selling part was before the copyright claim. 😑😫
my uncle has put 3 kato holos on a deafult deagle back in 2014...
I'm so early that i haven't seen the olafboost yet
Nice
@@andrewcui1124 Yeah, Olaf Jungle is pretty op.
im so early i havent seen the jumping coldzera yet
E
Lmfaoooooo
I feel bad for the dude that made the lightning m4a4
Yea man the dude looked like he tried and just got disrespected in front of thousands
@@droklop8985 I wonder if this dude could do better.
@@Cssisabeautifulthang yeah he probably couldn’t
Release the Lightning
We need to gather everyone from the community to upvote his skin in the workshop until it gets added to the game
I have seen this story a million times, but i guess seeing it a copple times times wont hurt.
I was 14 when this all happened, I met Sic in a lobby and liked the skins he made. Him and I were talking about ideas for skins and playing in the same lobbies for a while, then he disappeared. I remember hunting down a P90 he designed as well just because I played with him. But he never logged in again, and now I know why. I still have him on my friends list. Last online 2,210 days ago
I’m so early that I haven’t seen s1mple falling noscope yet
In Valorant?
@@fauzanfikri1824 What?
THIS IS NOT FPL
What no scope...
@@nandiwardhanawaranugraha6002 this is a major
a friends friend brother i know once owned a howl, sold it for 10k or something, we would play together, then he would drop the skin for us all, it was really fun playing with it and i swear it increases your aim by like 90%
Skin=Skill
“No one could have ever predicted that one day, a skin would sell for SIX FINGERS.”
Kinda sad really, let alone a single skin sells for more than two figures
@@goldeneagle3088 FINGERS NOT FIGURES
@@davidbanan. when you try to correct the correction that's correcting the intial incorrection but either use can be both correct and incorrect depending on how you want to use that intial correction or incorrection to further your correction.
"You know these pixels for a game. It makes sense that those pixels are worth more than a house"
you know those brushes of paint on a canvas those are worth more than a villa, makes perfect sense
@@lagolas00797 yeah they dont make sense. But atleast they exist. They wont disappear when a new counter strike game gets released
@@HOGPO The skins will never disappear either though. It will still cost around the same as well.
@@HOGPO I'm pretty sure they will never make a new counter strike game, and if they do, they will probably find a way to bring over the skins to that new game. Countless people in the csgo community have skins, whether they are 10 cents, thousands of dollars, etc. A lot of people would be furious if they made a new game and did not let them bring over their skins. Personally, I think Valve will just continue to update CS:GO until the game dies.
@@NobuNobuSimp Yeah but the game wont be as popular forever
Its the one time valve acted quickly on anything
I’m sitting in cross country practice waiting for a bus and bored with 2 children in screaming in my ear so I’m just gonna post a comment before watching this
gj
Best of luck!! Hope you and your team does well!!!
glhf
Sorry bro. You better? I hate noisy children.
Just slap them, that usually helps.
This daily dose is all I want! I appreciate it.
Video 2 of me asking for a the story of TheWarOwl
PLEASE
We need to make this top comment
@@madhavdua8624 TRUE!
Nah
@@NghiaNguyen-hq2im Why
bought a FN howl for $65 as soon as I saw the original artist's post about the plaigarism on the globaloffensive subreddit less than an hour after he posted it back in 2014. Still have it :)
how much is it worth now?
@@shreeshaadiga9037 like 5k
Imagine if you had bought a ST FN Howl.
@@Bestow3000 yeah i know, they were only $200. Should have gone for it
@@Kreege
I guess it was too expensive for you at the time? I know 100$ was a lot for a student like me back then, let alone 200$.
I traded for a FT (0.164) Howl a couple years back when it was £650. Still have it to this day and that is the single handedly the best trade i have ever made
Dammnn
Proof?
The creature in that skin is identical to the Odogaron in Monster Hunter.
I remember selling this the night before the ban, when i woke up the price just sky rocketed.... a ft for 45Euro i think
1:13 you can see how close Hiko and s1mple were.
wait, the score haven't made this video yet?
i remember a similar video here too
A friend of mine played csgo on release and got a howl when I was at his place. It was FT with a bad float but he sold it for like 50 dollars thinking it wouldn't ever go up in price...
Interview Moe again. Ask him when he was scamming kids, which were the rarest skins he could scam off them?
God the huntsman case was so good at release
Is it just me who thinks the new Howl looks better than the old one?
Thank you for lowering the music, its almost perfect, just a notch more and you reached the spot :)
Plot twist. The person claiming copyright actually was the guy who entered it to the steam market, stocked up on them and then got it removed for copyright, making bank.
The design of the skin is probably 1 of the best in the game
>The CS:GO Market is not slowing down anytime soon
Valve: Hold my beer (freezes community market, loses items in trades and community market sales over multiple days)
Thinking of something to say with barely any hours on CS
Smoke mid and hammer the doors. Unload a full mag. Flash and smoke long but fake out to mid and rotate from lower. 2 lurk from mid to b while the last 3 flash b from upper and rush. Check box and car and defend site for plant.
How does this even work...the skin trading thing
Ah yes the karambit. My favourite skin.
That danny devito in the background
ah yes the legendary skin - karambit
Noone:
Score Esports: we making 10 minutes video on a m4 skin
I wouldn't mind. M4a4 lighting.
Please do csgo videos like this more if i get another valorant story i am gonna freak out
Pls make a story of anomaly the legendary collector that obtained every skin in csgo
bro anomaly sounded SOOO different back then
Had just rewatched anomaly's Video about having sold 7-8 of these at very cheap rates
One of them even stat-trak 🤣
Just sold mine for 6k. Bought it for 120 years ago.
i see a howl on a video, so i click on the video
*sigh* why
Can you make a video about the whole csgo skins history, highlights and downfall in the future?
I like how they forget to say why the howl becomes higher in price, yes china has its part to do with it but so many bots with howl got banned in the past and had howl in their inventory so the number of howls decreased by a lot making it rarer.
Haven't you guys already done a video on this?? Or is it that they've just talked about it so much it seems like they've already done a video?
Glory howl ! I see what u did there :D
Wow howl 👀
Is that Danny Devito behind Zipel? 😂💀
The remade howl looks so much better
people in 2015: Yey i got a 50 dollar skin
people in 2021: this skin is a prized possession
Another video lessss go
What sites can I see the skins for the guns
To this day I thing this was a marketing move by valve
That combover though....
6:47 that dlore is from the major before Skadoodle won the major, it doesn't "encapsulate" his major win. Skins don't just get their value from hype, it's essentially supply and demand. "Hype" generates demand, e.g. the dragon lore looks great and is iconic to the game, but dlores and that souvenir one especially are so expensive also due to their extreme rarity.
was expecting an anomaly interview im sad
CS:GO video without the Olafboost? What am i watching...
Title should be what valve does is criminal
Meanwhile im sitting here with my default m4 skin and my default knives
The price doesn't seem that absurd, well yeah, it really does..
I would totaly rock that m4 lightning tbh
Same
I created that skin and I’m offended that he didn’t like it but thank you for your support
Am I the only one who thinks that Dan is looking more and more like Squidward with every video?
when im watching this, i am thinking the price of stattrak ak47 case hardened blue gem.
I think the howl owned by shroud which is named the shrowl could one up the 100k howl in price if it has 4 ibp holos or tital holos
The shrowl
Ahh yes CSGO skins, my favorite esport.
a) csgo is a major esport and skins are a large part of the game
b) so what if they dont post only esports videos, its their channel and the majority of their content already is esports. you dont like it just move on
the kato holos are what actually made it that expensive, even today a st fn howl is around 5k usd
the 100k howl was the nr 4 lowest float noneduped so this adds to the price
Find me a ST FN for 5k? I'll take it. Cheapest on buff is over 10k.
@@JMak420 my bad i was looking at a price chart from last year but the point still remains, the skin itself is nowhere near 6 figures
Find me a 5k howl. U cant? Lmao speaking out of your ass
@@yesyes7650 read my first reply
didnt necessarily have to disrespect the m4a4 lightning guy though..
Basically the origins of NFT's but playable
“The price point is not to bad” 🥴
Will there be a part 2 when howl got traded at $200k
I like the lightning m4a4
Why the beast on the skin looks like Odogaron from Monster Hunter
are you going to start unboxing cases now
Very nice video
NICE HAIRCUT BRUH
i just traded most of my inventory for one last week
I had my volume pretty low at 1:21 and ngl I heard something very different
reposted?
Crying with my worthless but precious dragon King.
cheaper version of howl
3:11 Probably his dog is wolf mix.
Didn't they cover this before or am i drunk?
lol dude your hair looks good long
We need more anomaly in skin videos
2:27 Anomaly sounds so differently
Ye i was dead confused
I still have my Howl till this day, thank fucking god i never sold it
Gib me pls
Anomaly's accent is evolving backwards
(2:26)
😂😂
is this a reupload?
it looks like a husky to me, never heard of them?
finally, a reason to use the m4 over the ak
My god i saw someone with it in a match and i was wondering why there was none of them in the steam shop
Cause it's a rare skin now
This skin didn’t do the Olaf boost, so why was this video made :/
Is it possible to just get the copyrights from the owner of art and then just make a howl design again?
Why is my man's head bigger in this one?
I saw one today...the silver 4 guy had one :)
Wasn`t the dragon lore expensive before cloud 9 won the major?
The original NFTs
the background music is kinda too loud
Repost?
That is a crazy waste of money compared to the $250,000 I just spent on a digital cat.
Where do I find a Chinese collector ?
Trying to stretch that 10min mark huh guys lmao
