Popular Counter-Strike 2 insider and commentator Maksim “Gabe Follower” Poletaev released new Counter-Strike 2 code snippets yesterday that indicate Valve is revising their in-game compensation methodology for skin creators.
The leaks suggest that Valve is shifting from paying a percentage of each item sales, as with Counter-Strike cases, to paying artists a set sum each day if their things are included in the CS2 Armoury.
Despite the leak revealing the payment structure, it remains unclear how much will these creators make compared to the older compensation scheme. While a one-time payment would grant creators a lot of money at once, it is hard to tell if it is more than what percentage of each item sales had to offer.
Once this change goes live, Creators will likely speak out showcasing their feelings towards the new payment structure but it remains hard to assume from the outside what Valve looks to achieve with the overhaul.
