    The thing you’re all fucking missing is no you can’t sell the in-game items for real money through the service. Steam money isn’t real money. It can’t go back into a normal economy. You always have to sell your inventory through a third party if you want it to be USD

    This whole lawsuit this whole thing is to try to get age verification checks through steam to lock down our privacy rights, while at the same time throwing another lawsuit on the pile to try to bury valve for not cooperating with the billionaire computing cabal. You’re all fucking blind

      Your credit card is already tracking and selling all the purchasing data you use it for on steam. Your identity is attached to that account

      They list the value in USD. You can use the money to pay your Adobe Subscription. Would you be taking the same stance if I hacked Steam to give myself Steam-wallet money? Would I be committing fraud or merely griefing a fun virtual casino-themed game for fun?

      I know guys that made money selling accounts then bragged to me… Don’t be foolish

      It being against TOS is irrelevant if the TOS isn’t enforced…
