AshsToAshs Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Once they go IPO, I'll be curious if they continue to give games away for free on their launcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've earned almost as much from the marketplace as I've spent on games on their storefront. It's been 8 years, with a 1000+ Steam library, and Valve is only $120 up on me. That dollar amount has actually shrunk since Epic started their giveaways, since I almost always second guess purchases on Steam now. (even with fake bucks) Other legit storefronts selling cheaper Steam keys also factor into it. It's my #frugalgoal to one day put them in the negative with my account. Then I'll be the anti-whale.

Oh I think a lot of TF2 traders have already put them into the negative, at least years ago when it was easier to farm weapon drops and they were worth more before the big crash when they allowed the buying/selling of crate keys. Farm weapons->craft metal->trade metal for keys->sell keys on market. Or alternatively, trade for unusual hats, then trade for keys. Some of those hats were worth hundreds of dollars.

Pretty sure any money you make from the marketplace is money other people have put in, and you can't ever take it out, and Valve gets a cut of every marketplace transaction on top of that. Don't think anyone's putting them in the negative on that front! And I absolutely cannot wait to see what kind of quality products and services we'll see out of Epic once they're slaves to shareholders and quarterly deadlines!

The trading cards don't spontaneously generate money, though. Someone had to fill up their Steam wallet, so you're draining someone else's wallet, not Valve's. I mean, I guess you could count money sitting in Steam wallets as money Valve hopes no one ever actually spends... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
