Valve is about the money. Simple as that. Gaming doesn't matter anymore as far as they are concerned unless they can make money off selling gaming (not their own product). Can't fault them for being what they are now. Show me the money!!
It won't be long before the IRS makes a move then Valve will go into damage control.
This helped me understand it a lot better. I seriously can't believe that there is even a demand to cash these things out anyway. I play CS:GO very very casually and I couldn't care less how my dude looks so it boggles my mind that anyone can make any kind of money 'gambling' and cashing out this way.
At least in Black Ops 3 these container drops are actually new weapons sometimes and aren't just cosmetic changes (though most are).
Won't affect them, cause they'll disclose what they make. They're not selling skins for crazy prices. They just get a transaction fee for allowing ppl to sell their skins on their clients.
The price people pay for game items really doesn't surprise me anymore. Not after people dumped thousands into Second Life. Much like Second Life, the people paying thousands for an in-game item probably aren't doing it just to have an in-game item. They probably know they can sell it for more money or just plan to use it on some gambling website.
So like GM is responsible if you go racing for pinks?
Howabout the drag strip or the town?
They created something you can buy and sell, the gambling is the players.
fo shoI bet 11ty billion dollars Valves lawyers are telling them to keep their mouths shut.
troof!It does affect them actually because they are technically a gambling operation by proxy and they allow it by giving access to tools and API with the means of doing such a thing.
This would also explain CS:GO's listing as always in the top 10 steam best sellers. I wondered how it could keep selling like that.
Until I can actually buy tickets from Ticketmaster.com at the price advertised on Ticketmaster.com, Valve can do whatever they want to do.
