>If you invested in an RMT game market that-- by EULA-- cannot pay out into real money again
I remember 3rd party online stores where you could buy tf2 items for real money before csgo even existed. You absolutely can sell/buy shitty cosmetics for real money Plenty of jewtubers are getting rich thanks to this system. No one gives a shit about EULA, TOS etc. Valve is not stupid, they won't scare away the trader community. Trader fags are the entire point of dota 2, tf2, cs2 and deadlock maybe sometime in future. Valve thrives in this grey market environment. Which is why the recent CS2 thing they did is really weird. Maybe their economists think this will increase long term profits? As a certain insightful anon said, third party sites do not directly benefit valve even tough they are the reason the virtual economy is so strong. Maybe this is valve being short sighted as usual, they want people to spend money on keys constantly and use steam market instead of trading 5000000 dollar items on third party sites. Idk.
