That gatcha bulshit Valve started in TF2 is why we're ever going to see Half Life 3.

Or Team Fortress 3. Or an update to The Specialists.

Lowering the amount of scammers on steam is never a bad thing. They'll always exist, I have no doubt of that. But if this scares off a bunch of them because items have lost value, then I'm for it.

Your valueless item that only has value because of perceived rarity on a digital good is a bit ridiculous. I mean, if you like that kind of thing, fine, enjoy. It's monetary value probably wasn't what you were looking for, it was the rarity of it, that only a half dozen people playing might have that item. That I can understand.

It's like when people in WoW went nuts for those red face scarves the defias used to drop like 2 decades ago or more. Just a common white item. Nothing fancy. But now that you can't get it, suddenly it's expensive and rare.

Spend real money on fake bullshit. It's like crypto but somehow even dumber and more worthless.

You spend real money to "buy" a digital prodcut. Actually no. You spend real money to have A CHANCE to obtain a digital product.

Gambling mechanics only appeal to a certain segment of the IQ bell curve
