If you aren't aware, Valve recently added a new graffiti/spray system to CS that allows people to obviously spray random graffiti tags around the map like in the previous games.
However, it'll cost you. There's been lots of controversy around this because in the past games, it was totally free to do this.
Now, however, you have to pay for a tag design, kind of like a weapon skin, and on top of it, you have to pay to re-fill your spray can (or whatever you'd like to call it).
I honestly find it a bit ridiculous seeing as how the economy of some high-end weapon skins is extremely high and the fact that Valve gained $221 million from revenue/micro-transactions in 2015.
Personally, this seems like just another way for Valve to collect more money from its users - why wouldn't it be?
What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree with Valve's decisions? Would you pay to use this feature?

I think it's another way Valve/Steam can drain peoples wallets.
1. It's diminish-able (Has a certain amount of times it can be used, then it's gone... POOF!)
2. They aren't free! That is if you take it as you don't want to wait for a drop to MAYBE get a spray, then you have to pay for them.
3. It's diminish-able. Do I have to say it again?

Yeah it's more or less a money grab. I used to love spraying up my own custom shit back in the day but I don't really want to fork out to spray a default tag with limited uses
