    Valve literally runs a marketplace that allows people to sell their skins for cash.

    This is like playing for tokens that the store across the street will conveniently purchase from you.

      So the issue isn’t the loot boxes and gambling to get items, it’s the resale? That’s a different issue.

      Also it’s not “cash”, you can only spend that money back into steam.
