Another thing as well is the amount of bots and general exploiting going on as a result of not just steam markets but general micro-transactions. If the devs of any of these games are serious about fixing anything long term and making sure games stay as games they would have to do the very unpopular thing of simply shutting down the markets entirely and only making it so that people can directly purchase items from their store.
This is being generous though and assuming they actually give a fuck about gaming and aren't just blatantly taking advantage of peoples' addiction problems and whales to farm as much as they can before finally retiring. The main reason there are so many bot players or chaters on places like CS:2 is because of the trading market. Depending on the drop rate of everything it's potentially worth it for them getting banned and simply getting a new account made in five seconds to continue the process all over again.
Any game that does have micro-transactions forward cannot be acquired through game time or player actions, I'm completely against it now after seeing exactly how it's exploited, especially that stupid banana game.
