    Tbh valve could stop this by making it only tradeble to your friends or make the skins non tradable so they are just that, skins for you.

      But why would they? Trading skins is a big part of the game. I enjoy trading/selling/buying skins every now and then. There is nothing bad about being able to trade stuff.

      The problem occurs when third party sellers abuse your platform - but why you would be mad at valve instead of those sellers is beyond me.

        I was throwing out a nuclear option showing that there are options. This is valve where best of the best work here, and implementing locked down trading can work to thr point they cut out the external trades or make it so hard to move the trade of thr platform that it would effectively kill the casino portion. Albeit this would hurt their earnings.

          Nuclear options rarely are the best ones, especially in a case where the harm caused doesn’t even remotely warrant it.

          Parents should keep an eye on their kids so this can’t happen. That’s what parents are supposed to do. Removing a good feature because “MUUUH THINK OF THE KIDS” is wrong.
