Why did this even become a big deal in the first place?
>>344899328
Because some faggot on reddit decided to make a fuss about it.
H3H3 is cancer, and so is Jontron.
>>344899328
It's amazing what a single manchild can accomplish with an army of drones.
I never used that shit anyway. I use a flip phone so I have the trade escrows on which pisses sites like those off anyway even if I wanted to.
>>344899235
Valve is backpedaling. All these betting websites use dozen and dozens of bots to do trades constantly, and the only way to get around trade restrictions is Valve whitelisting these bots.
>>344899328
False advertisement.
The owners were betting on their own site and making videos of "wow I won 10k dollars on that site wowowo".
>>344899369
He may be cancer but something good came out of it.
>>344899328
Some dude made youtube videos of him betting/gambling on a site winning big monies. He also has 2 million subscribers. What he failed to do was mention that he actually OWNS THE FUCKING SITE.
how long till underground gambling rings are set up?
>>344899328
How can you see something like this and not say it's cancer?
Steam items shouldn't become a gambling market, that's just fucking retarded and irresponsible since they offer no regulations.

Bad move
The entire Dota 2 and CS:GO scene is propped up by russian mafia and money laundering.
You didn't REALLY think your stupid knife was worth 1200 dollars right?
RIP CSGO on Twitch. No more gambling streams.

Nigger are you retarded? Even trading card collectors have trade bots.
>>344899369
>hating h3h3
Are sites like dota lounge fucked or just csgolotto with those coins flips? I really betting while watching a match.
I don't understand how this stuff was even remotely legal in the first place, glad to see it's going to get shut down.
Skins really ruined the CS community.

This. I like how your average user has to confirm every single trade with their phone yet these bots can do hundreds of them no problem.
I don't care, I prefer to buy from Valve anyway so I don't need to worry about it, plus I'm supporting the game so they can make additional content.
>>344899235
hopefully it will reduce microtransactions in games

To do a trade, because of all the added restrictions because retards got scammed, you need a mobile authentication. Are you telling me they have dozens of bots, with legit mobile numbers attached, constantly confirming via phone or some PC workaround?

Well there's nothing morally wrong with it, the only reason valve is doing this is because their lawyers told them to.
If this had absolutely no way of hurting them they would have continued to ignore it. However they have a potential class action lawsuit coming their way so they are obviously gonna take some legal precautions.

Its fraud, the FTC has rules for what you can do on the internet too. It isn't the wild west that some people think it is. I know one of the people that is involved in the scandal has already had FTC fines for doing almost the same thing. Producing a product and then doing a youtube video promoting said product without disclosing he was the owner of product. The gambling makes this time around a bigger issue since the FTC has rules for internet based raffles.
>>344901793
Zombie Simpsons.
>>344900915
Making those kinds of videos without disclosing you're the owner is actually a pretty big crime. Running a gambling business without a license is a bigger crime. Allowing and encouraging underage gambling is bigger than both of those put together.

At this point, I wonder what IS the legal distinction between a slot machine and a crate+key.
They pretty much have to, they have to worry about the laws in all the countries they offer their service in.
>>344901317
Valve isn't going to pay someone to monitor the system. They want bots and the users to report that.

>>344902040
What
>>344902040
and there is nothing illegal about setting up a skinner box for people to play. Most Credit Card companies have max limits and companies themselves have max spending limits per day. No one if forcing you to play, but if you get your jollies from having a chance to get a "rare" virtual skin then that is your issue.

There's not really any room for them to go up. If they go any higher, it'll be cheaper even in third world countries to buy them straight from Valve. The Steamconomy is unique in that it has a hard limit on how valuable their 'currency' can be.

its more like a prize vending machine. you pay the 2.50. Open a chest get a prize. The prize has no value outside of the store. Since at least with steam there is no way to take the skin and cash it out for real money, other than selling it and getting store credit for it.
>>344902418
it's the end
if the websites can't interface with steam they can't put up items or extrapolate value
>>344902374
well, I was curious. I do sell my keys on the steam market for steam wallet if there is a game coming out I want, rather than pay out of my own pocket. Was curious if I should sell some now for wallet or just save them until a game I want is closer to release.
how is this gambling?
sounds like 3rd party site in order to trade shit when a person is obv too stupid to use ingame or steam forums to find people to trade with

All they care about is getting away with their latest self-inflicted issue. Fuck Valve and fuck your waifu.
