On April 27, the esports organization Fnatic announced the launch of its own skin gambling website, STASHD, for Counter-Strike 2, set to go live on May 4. This announcement has sparked a wave of criticism from fans, including the official Fnatic Dragons fan club.
Fnatic positions STASHD as a service for skin collecting, developed in collaboration with the community and supported by current and former players of the organization. The platform features a case-opening mechanic using an in-game currency called Bolts.
