Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, or CS:GO as it is usually referred to, is a popular multiplayer first-person shooter video game that was first released in 2012. Despite its age CS:GO still maintains a large and active following in 2022. Skins were introduced in CS:GO in 2013 as a cosmetic feature intended to encourage more interaction between players but in a short time gained real money value. CS:GO skins can range in value from a few cents to items worth thousands of dollars.
