Great way to out yourself as a low impulse control mouthbreather that can't tell if a game is good or not without playing it.

The zoomer fears trying out stuff before buying it, for he knows not of in-store sampling of products

>>724871860
this, all these steam hate threads are from 3rd worlders that don't buy games in the first place, and people that lost their knives (get rekt portfoliofag lol)

theyre talking about refunding trades, not games
now you can reverse trades much more easily which means trading through third party sites is way worse

>>724873683
He said "Actually money is how the community steers work." but close enough.
He literally said this as defense to paid modding by the way. Take a note the so called golden age of vidya was when everyone was modding shit freely. Starting from Mannconomy update Valve got more and more jewish over time. And GabeN's opportunistic business nature started to leak.

>>724873830
He really wants to destroy third party trading sites doesnt he.

>>724871760 (OP)
Now do this for mods to eliminate mod piracy.

Gaben is going scorched earth after Steam casinos.
No wonder, he needs more money for his yachts.

Why would you do that?
In what specific scenario would I need to trade things through a third party website?

>>724873830
If you trade through 3rd worlder owned 3rd party sites you deserve it.
In fact if you trade outside your friend or enthusiast group you also deserve to get scammed.
In fact if you care about steam NFTs in general you deserve it.
It's that simple lmao

Good. Death all niggers, spics, poojeets, and sandniggers ruining games with their frivolous gacha collectible garbage. Death to all trade hustling turbo-niggers.

Anons seem to forget that Gabe Newall is a business man. He's not your friend, he's not your god. he does anything and everything he can get away with to make as much money as humanly possible. and the fanboiz let him get away with a lot more than they should have.

>Anons seem to forget that Gabe Newall is a business man. He's not your friend, he's not your god. he does anything and everything he can get away with to make as much money as humanly possible.
Then why does he do literally everything single thing that I want him to do, and to filter out the browns and shit-heads that don't belong? Sounds pretty godly and friendly to me.

I like buying and selling trading cards :)

Having knives on CSGO is not a portfolio. Retards pretending like their video game unlockables are currency is embarrassing desu.

I'll up you
Look at GabeN's nose

>>724875475
When you sell an item on Steam, the funds go into your Steam wallet. You can only use them on Steam.
When you sell on a 3rd party website, the funds go into your bank account.
Did you really think people were selling CSGO knives for hundreds of thousands dollars worth of Steam wallet funds?

>>724876132
He's not jewish, if that's what your implying. He's Anglo-Protestant.

>>724876154
I didn't think about selling knives at all.

>>724874351
gabe was on a stream recently where they slapped a qr code on the video that took you to an ai generated raffle scam. that was probably the last straw.

correction, and my mistake: he wasn't on an actual live stream. it's just jeets reuploading the same video on different accounts linking to the same raffle. looking up "tf2 gabe live" shows hundreds of these.

We're already at the point of paid mods anyway. Do you remember when Killing Floor was a mod and the dev said "fuck you, pay for it now"? Once Unity, UE, etc made their clauses for modders to profit, it was over.

No one cares to mention this though because there's some arbitrary line in their head that didn't get crossed when it happened. Instead of trying to justify which groups can take their mods for profit and which ones can't, they should just try slapping a price tag on it and see if anyone bothers enough to pay them. Most will fail.

>>724876654
Nah if the AI's going to get someone's personal data I'd rather have it be yours.

>>724874351
Real money transfer is a fucking plague upon "game based economies", it created what's basically a mafia within WoW for example that just runs bots on the game all day and even on private servers that don't actively clamp down on them. They have no care for the game itself, they're just third worlders who wanna farm money instead of legitimately accruing skill or talent that would actually provide to a real economy.

Fuck off from the trading thread then retard.

>>724877720
This, I'm tired of seeing game economies wrecked due to RMT. About the only one I've seen take any real stance against it was FFXIV and it came at the expense of destroying any value in game currency had. Surely there's got to be a better way to stop RMT.

At least in WoW private servers that care, they actively go after bots and it's feasible to monitor the game enough to recognize them. The issue is that companies like Blizzard don't care for real moderation and prefer to just set up filters for things and if they don't hurt their bottom line they will never care. Not that I play modern WoW, but it was just an example.
Something like what Gaben is doing makes significantly more sense because it just reduces the benefit of engaging with RMT faggots and shifts it back onto Valve who sells boxes.

>>724873830
>which means trading through third party sites is way worse
I think this is way worse for the sites itself.
They have bots and inventories full of items, and their own economies and credit systems on their trade sites.
Introducing chargeback probably fucked EVERYTHING up for these massive companies.

>>724877145
The line is monetization. You don't monetize anything that relies on charity, donations, sharing, free flow of information. Modding is communism. It's for people not private entities to gatekeep and capitalize.

While this is just one of the many terrible things Valve has done to their fanbase ita only the tip of the iceberg


Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

I have mixed feelings about Valve. Yeah they crashed the marked, but they are also Prometheus of vidya lootboxes, proto-NFTs and unaffiliate gaming casinos. They helped to create this cancer to begin with

how is this a bad thing? the only people who are complaining about it are people who were using the system wrong all the time, because exchanging steam inventory for real money is bannable offense on steam and it is forbidden, now they're finally taking care of it more seriously which as a good healthy thing for the CS community overall, so rope for all gamblers and market hyenas who made steam market a business for themselves, they can all eat shit

Not being a delusional miserable cunt is now being a cultist.

>>724886865

Nigga this shit actually hurt normal players only
Not only are the higher tier skins less accessible because their prices skyrocketed, the skinjews who sold them knives at half the price realised they were retarded because they panicked for nothing and are now yanking the knives back with no repercussions.
