The thing you’re all fucking missing is no you can’t sell the in-game items for real money through the service. Steam money isn’t real money. It can’t go back into a normal economy. You always have to sell your inventory through a third party.

This whole lawsuit this whole thing is to try to get age verification checks through steam to lock down our privacy rights. You’re all fucking blind

Your credit card is already tracking and selling all the purchasing data you use it for on steam. Your identity is attached to that account

They list the value in USD. You can use the money to pay for games on steam. Would you be taking the same stance if I hacked Steam to give myself Steam-wallet money? Would I be committing fraud or merely griefing a fun virtual casino-themed game for fun?
