Economic Potential of tf2 map vote broke

The recent malfunction of the “map vote” feature in Team Fortress 2 has had significant economic implications. By eliminating player choice in map selection, the bug distorted the in-game market for map-specific items. Previously, players could speculate on the value of these items based on the likelihood of a map appearing in rotation. However, with the map pool now randomized, the value of these items has become more volatile, potentially leading to losses for investors and reduced revenue for Valve.
