Are we all letting Valve off easy for its loot crate economy?

I’ve bought games just from sitting there for an hour and selling those cards. All these years and i still have no idea why people buy them.

They are needed to craft badges, which level up your profile. Higher level profile means more customization. So if youre into the social aspect of steam then they are required at least a little bit. Obviously for you they aren’t needed so yeah you can just sell them to others and make a buck, and thats a pretty cool system imo.

If you complete a set you get xp and level up your profile. I sell the expensive cards I get from my games and buy the cheap ones to get a full set. I’m on level 52 and I never put any money on steam for any reason other than buying games. My profile looks cool because of this and I like it.

I’m not going to knock your good time. I’m glad someone enjoys them.
