    Wonder how much of this comes from the gambling business. They don’t own the secondary market where you can sell skins, but they are the gateway into that world.

      I suspect a fair chunk. Steam for gamers and devs is great and all but its underbelly of opening up the world of gambling to kids is real gross. Its insane how valve has been getting away with it for so long.

      They do own a big part of the secondary market. For steam marketplace, they get a cut of those sales too.

        Like it or hate it, the Steam Marketplace was a pretty fucking brilliant move on their part. Literally just a free money glitch lol
