Well because uhmm. Gamers just use it ironically you know. Free speech. Elon Musk help me, they want to persecute gamers. Gamers.

there are a couple of good things about valve: they seriously fund linux-based development to help make games no longer the sole domain of Windows and they outright said "nah" to NFTs.
but when you go into the community section of the website... good lord they just let that shit fester. also they really allow some very questionable games to get published, so their storefront is filled with trash of all kinds.
Considering TF2 hats this seems much more a case of not wanting competition instead of standing for anything at all
Aren't Steam Trading Cards kinda like NFTs too? 🤔
basically everything monetized valve "Invented" is NFTs. Except the schmucks didn't even invent them, gear trading via real money was going on within WoW for a decade before they did it.
no, because they don't go through the energy intensive minting process, and inflate the prices of GPUs which prevents me from buying one 😡
Valve could have implemented a blockchain based record of the cosmetics for their own games (i.e. NFTs), or even gone as far as to recreate a games ownership/resale system based on the concept... so the seriousness of them disallowing that altogether shouldn't be understated. Other game companies were flirting with this idea very seriously just a year ago.

i'm not claiming there's merit or goodness in the idea
Unusuals might as well be NFTs
I opened steam store today and one of the first things that showed up was a game called Sex With Hitler 2 and I just looked at it for a second and then closed steam
