A new Steam Message reveals some big changes over this insanely popular FPS for the PC. To give a summary, prices are changed depending on how many players globally BUY that item.

For the long story, the Steam message itself:

We’re finally ready to talk in more specific terms about the coming changes to Counter-Strike weapon prices.

Most of the weapons and equipment in Counter-Strike still have the same prices today as they did when the game was first released. We at Valve know we’re not alone in thinking that some of the prices in the game have never been exactly what they should be. (Uh, night-vision?) But rather than tweaking the values ourselves, we thought we’d let you decide. Coming soon in Counter-Strike: Source is a new system that sets the prices of what you can buy based on, well, what people are buying. This means that each week all of the items in Counter-Strike will have different prices based on what people purchase. We’ve setup a webpage with more information on how it works, including what the prices will be when we turn this feature on.

In my opinion, they can simply fix the game by getting rid of the AWP
