Counter-Strike Opens Weapons Market

kalpatin writes "The ever so popular game, Counter Strike:Source developed by Valve, has a new feature added to the game: A virtual marketplace for the weapons and equipment. According to Valve, every item's price will be updated on a weekly basis depending on the global market demand. Some users have posted their anger toward the new change on the Valve forums and have even started a petition to stop the change. Is Valve turning into Microsoft by introducing features that are not needed or wanted by the community, or are they merely spicing the game up?"

'moot'

[kahei]

Could people please stop abusing the word 'moot'?

It means 'open to debate'. What the above post meant was 'irrelevant' or 'unknowable'. Correct usage might be:

The oil lobby would have us believe that global warming is moot, whereas in fact there is widespread consensus. ...or...

Cuaron's motives in producing a 'movie' that consists almost entirely of heavy-handed polemic may be moot, but that the result is cinematic failure is surely beyond dispute. ...or you could even say...

Whether Private Gumbo was clinically dead at the time the eighth round hit him is still a moot point in the forensic establishment.

On the other hand, thank you for not spelling it 'mute'.
