Asking valve to police this is like asking the national Treasury to police gambling.
The fact that skins can be traded is a good thing. Just needs actual laws and enforcement.
Not allowing gambling on skins is such a knee jerk reaction to this. As you see there’s sites that do the same thing with irl items.
I would like to see the comparison to real sports more heavily highlighted. You cannot find a single sports event in America that’s not sponsored by gambling sites.
What are the downsides to banning it for us?
Disabling trading items is a bad call. Look at epic and rocket league. The game was already dying and removing trading was a massive fuck you to a huge section of the player base.
I never said that they should disable trading. Just that they should go after gambling sites and introduce things that would make it harder to gamble.
This is well done and much needed, Valve pretending nothing is happening because they’re sitting pretty with cs is pretty disgusting. It’s a monster they created and they need to cut it off in the backend even if it means a huge loss of revenue.
Thoughtfully punctuated by the video author’s note of how far self-regulation will ever possibly go.
