We learned just how small Valve really is this year, but also how good it is at raking in the cash: It's making more money per employee than Apple (www.pcgamer.com)

I don’t think we are going to convince each other, I am glad that you find value in being able to sell skins that you don’t want on the marketplace for credit. That is why the system was designed, not for it to be abused by others for gambling.

I more-so have problems with how the system is rife for abuse, and I think that it should be up for debate whether valve should have to do anything about it.

I actually don’t think they should have too, I think more responsibility should be on the individual and responsibility on the parents for minors.

I do think that we should expect easier parental controls with more granular settings to be able to allow parents to protect their kids from risky trades rather than basically just enable or disable the entire social features.

At least we can agree on that.

Steam has an entire parental control setup with family view where you can completely restrict your children from purchasing or selling anything without your consent.
