    The government need to get involved and relegate MTX. I agree they are responsible for hosting the platform and developing the systems in the case of CS skins. It’s ugly but Valve are behaving as a rational business actor in this scenario.

      With Trump in office soon you can forget about regulation.

      And in any case, it’s tech-adjacent so legislators have zero idea how any of this works.

        The EU and Australia seem to be inching towards serious legislation relating to MTX. Hopefully they can serve as an example.
