What do you objectively need ever? You can need A for B, but why do you need B then? You can continue this loop until you end up with 42.
You need air to breathe and you need to breathe to live, but do you really need to live or just want to?

So obviously the problem was just with the games being too cheap and producing no income for Valve when sold for fractions of cents to bundle sites. All this can be fixed by selling expensive worthless items for the games, so they become valuable and productive members of the game society.

The error in the first place is using Steam items as currency, basically putting your money in the hands of Valve and developers in general.

Interesting, thanks.
TF2 keys are unaffected I think and people are still using CS:GO keys, so I don't think people are that desperate to find another currency at the moment. This could change in the future I suppose.
And I'm not sure how the shop items you listed could be the new currency. I'm honestly not sure how the devs are expecting people to pay for items in a game they don't like.

Basically people selling pretend stuff for real money, like it has been in the last 10 years.
And building an economy out of it, like it's a good idea and totally risk-free.

To quote Anton LaVey:
"Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved."
I mean, does anyone actually fall for this crap?

I've always believed if a stereotype exists, it exists because that "person" existed, if a sign exists, someone fucked up to require that sign, if someone baits a trap with some stupid ass bait, odds are in this day and age with the billion on the planet with access to the internet crossed with access to steam and funds... someone will and or already has.
Don't let your memes be dreams, buy some Fool's Gold today.

Well, isn't it the same as purchasing a CSGO skin for some thousand euro?
It did happen, there's actually people who earn a (very good) monthly income just by trading/selling useless stuff like those csgo skins, and there's also people who are literally wasting their life onto similar things, like trading steam cards, trading bad games, trying to find the "best" skins and/or hats on various games...the list is long.
Even though sometimes (probably very rarely) that could earn you an income, isn't that the worst way to waste your only life, and wasting whatever age they're at, instead of going out with friends or just having a life. The same could be said for those people that wastes their days on social networks, obviously.
So, I don't know first hand if someone actually purchased that fool's gold and other stuff, but everything else I mentioned above isn't any better, so my guess is yes, someone actually did it. And that's sad.

What exactly is this approved way of not wasting your life? Drinking and partying with friends all day every day as opposed to wasting your life in some job you hate but have to do to pay the bills? Doing something you like, be it partying or overpaying for pixels. is something only you can decide if it's worth it or a waste. Just like I could say you're wasting your life complaining about others wasting their life doing something they want.

I do not drink, I do not take drugs, and I meant it mostly for young people, which are now the base audience of steam. They should live their life instead of doing the aforementioned things, like studying, going out and see things, make experiences, instead of wasting their life on silly things like these, which do not give anything back to humanity.
If they'll eventually be partying every night and do a job they don't like, it's only because they're wasting their life now.
The meaning of a useless and wasted life may be subject to opinion, but to me it's a life that humanity could do without.
I prefer to spend my time studying and learning new things, helping people, doing something productive, and I like doing that, because I know that that way I'm giving my contribute to humanity, helping it going forward.
I'm sure nobody really likes to do stupid things that serves no purpose but are "forced" to do them by misconceptions, lack of knowledge and of humanity, for which parents are often a cause, but there's also many other influencing factors. In some places, it looks like it is the whole nation which is forcing their children to live for theirselves, because of some stupid and never earned pride for their place that's only promoting hate and carelessness for others.
Now it may seem I may over exaggerating about this thread's issue, but it is one of those many other influencing factors that I was talking about earlier, a seed that can grow into something bigger and much uglier, if there's too many people around which accepts this way of doing things.

Maybe you should start doing those to not be so uptight about others doing what you want, not what they want. Why do you imagine people, especially kids with nothing but free time, can't do both online trading and go out to have fun? You think it must be a full-time job for them if they spend some time doing it instead of other wastes of time like playing games? What if that hobby helps them relieve stress and have fun in the way they want and like.
Humanity could easily do without 99%+ of humans who provide no value at all except wasting resources and producing pollution to have their personal experiences that only benefit themselves. So are you arguing pro eugenism or what? Or just ignoring all real world problems because someone doing something harmless like online trading is an easier target to get annoyed at?
So if playing video games makes kids do theft and murder, what does game related trading do to kids? Make them grow up to be investment bankers who ruin everything for everyone else just so they can get a dollar? Then they can continue trading imaginary things but instead of pixel knives they are called derivatives and cost a million.

I look forward to the day when that "dev" is banned from Steam. Trashy releases and somehow he convinced a few to be a publisher for their asset flips. I love how he just regurgitates one RPG Maker garbage and follows it with 10-15 pointless dlcs.
EDIT
Apparently, he was also a publisher behind AIDS Simulator which got all of his catalog removed from Steam starting June. Good f-ing riddance.

Yeah good guy Valve protecting us from any sensible trading using other sites so they can sell 80 euro in-game items for a couple cent asset flip.
