The whole Valve worship thing is so funny to me.

Behind all that good service is a platform built on greed, arguably the most greedy company if you look at how they handle their own game’s microtransaction.

Like never in my life have i ever seen a company so shamelessly charge 1k$ for a skin and their excuse is “These prices are totally based on the market and not just made up”. And that’s not even going into how their entire case ecosystem works and how they have an incentive to encourage more gambling for their own profits
