Item Skins for 4.0 (Please read Nelson)

Where did Nelson disclose his rationale for not including cosmetics, and was that before or after he said this?

@SDGNelson

Honestly I’ve been pretty surprised at the amount of requests for an economy redesign. Will have to carefully consider it!

Although I think this is a rhetorical question, it was before. People saying micro-transactions are a “100% confirmed no” are misinformed, especially if we include the server pass.

While talking to One of your mods on Discord

Nelson does not run a Discord server. You’re thinking of the one ran by Sven, who selects his own moderation team.

I am Aware of Valve clamping down on underage Gambling and bashing the old loot boxes, so i have two suggestions

This isn’t a thing. Are you confusing Valve with government entities—such as Belgium’s, Hawaii’s, the Netherland’s, or Finland’s government?

@King_James

Creating Mystery boxes which require no keys to open, As you implemented in 3.0 during Halloween and Christmas, In my opinion this would not be gambling as when you unwrap the box you are not risking any money etc, (These would drop after a cretin play time like common skins in 3.0)

The Steam Community Market and unofficial (and technically illegal) sites using Steam API would still make these considered gambling, depending on the government. Your opinion is irrelevant (in this suggestion) if you’re going to mention gambling law and governments cracking down on loot boxes.
