As Bloomberg reports, roughly $1.75 billion of value evaporated from the game’s pricey item skins market after an October 22nd update made it easier for players to acquire knife skins. If you’re an average player, that’s probably a welcome change, but it’s caused chaos for traders making thousands, or even millions, of dollars on high-rarity items.

The issue is caused by a font in the latest update to the app (version 10.x) that’s only available through Google Play Services. As a result, it’s crashing or simply failing to launch on phones running GrapheneOS and other “de-Googled” versions of Android, reports Android Authority.
The feature, seen previously in Microsoft’s Designer and Photos apps on desktop and mobile, will start rolling out today to Windows Insiders members in the Canary, Dev, and Beta Channels. You’ll need Paint version 11.2509.441.0 and a Copilot Plus PC with a Snapdragon processor to try it out.
The app that suffered multiple data breaches earlier this year and a replica for men called TeaOnHer were removed for “failing to meet the company’s terms of use around content moderation and user privacy,” according to 404 Media.
Apple also cited “an excessive number of complaints,” including reports of posts including minors’ data.
