I lost everything - Up to 10k worth of investment gone in a minute. Why? Because of the idiocy of Valve. A friend of mine, a dedicated trader, father of one, TOOK HIS FUCKING LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS SHIT. HIS LIVE SAVINGS GONE. HIS 125K+ INVESTMENT GONE. WHY? BECAUSE VALVE WANTED TO PROFIT. VALVE, GO FUCK YOURSELF. HOW IS THIS NOT ILLEGAL? Financial markets are REGULATED and what valve has done is COMPLETELY ILLEGAL.
Legality aside, how is it possible that a multi million dollar company rolls out such radical changes on a whim? With no research as to how this will affect the people that depend on this? Can someone please explain how is this not downright evil? Im so fucking infuriated. Countries usually roll out stuff in a progressive way, WHY WOULD VALVE NOT DO THE SAME - KNOWING THOUSANDS DEPEND ON THIS?
It is difficult to make a living off of trading skins, and now with this gigantic blow I'm not sure anyone will even engage in this shitty market again. I mean, why have a knife when tomorrow they'll make a way to craft it with some shitty items?
Please, whoever has legal experience on this field contact me urgently. I'm ready to donate a class action against Valve
