The discussion exploded after well-known collector and trader <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Ozzny_CS2\/status\/2059357924829622317?s=20\">Ozzy<\/a> claimed that the new souvenir system \u201c100% confirms\u201d Valve will never introduce a proper sticker removal feature.<\/p>\n<h3>Ozzy Believes Sticker Removal Would Hurt the Economy<\/h3>\n<p>Ozzy believes the main problem is the impact on the CS2 economy.

Some users agreed that Valve would never risk damaging the sticker economy. Others argued that simple restrictions could solve the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Several users suggested disabling sticker removal on souvenir weapons while keeping the feature for normal skins. Others proposed a system where removed stickers automatically become scratched or lose condition during the process.<\/p>\n<p>One user commented:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>When you remove the stickers it scrapes them once.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Ozzy believes even that solution would not fully fix the problem. In his opinion, players would still start \u201csaving\u201d old expensive stickers from bad 2014\u20132015 crafts, which could seriously affect the market.<\/p>\n<h3>Katowice 2014 Crafts Returned to the Discussion<\/h3>\n<p>The conversation also reignited debates around legendary Katowice 2014 crafts. Many players believe it is unfair that extremely valuable stickers remain locked on cheap or ruined skins.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>I disagree why have old katowice on crap skins?<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>Other users defended the current system. They argued that the irreversible nature of stickers is exactly what makes CS2\u2019s skin economy unique. If players could freely dismantle old crafts, many collectible items would instantly lose a large part of their value.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/jackinho-cheating-matchfixing-tier2-cs2\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Jackinho_at_DraculaN2.webp\" alt=\"Jackinho Speaks Out About Massive Cheating and Matchfixing Problem in Tier-2 CS2\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/jackinho-cheating-matchfixing-tier2-cs2\">Jackinho Speaks Out About Massive Cheating and Matchfixing Problem in Tier-2 CS2<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/jackinho-cheating-matchfixing-tier2-cs2\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1779703590#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1779703590#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1779703590#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">May 26<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Sticker Slabs Also Became Part of the Debate<\/h3>\n<p>Players also brought up Sticker Slabs, which Valve introduced last year. Part of the community now believes Slabs were Valve\u2019s alternative solution instead of adding a Sticker Removal Tool.<\/p>\n<p>Many users think Valve wants sticker application to remain a \u201cfinal decision.\u201d At the same time, Sticker Slabs already give players a way to preserve stickers separately from weapons.<\/p>\n<p>Valve still has not officially commented on either the \u201cMake a Souvenir\u201d system or the possible Sticker Removal Tool.
