Good, don't bother

Stupid article, here's a tl:dr:
- Valve ensured CS:GO items (weapon skins, sprays,...) are compatible in CS2 because they're the source of revenue for CS
- some people compared to this NFTs, Valve responded they don't know enough about NFTs to evaluate this comparison
- that's it
Also, Valve has banned NFT games since 2021
Interesting this links to the internet archive for something posted yesterday
The actual link because ia can fuck up mobile and it isn't needed at all https://www.eurogamer.net/valve-we-dont-know-enough-about-nfts-to-weigh-in-on-that-conversation
Valve would never sell fake digital goods. Hats? Gun paint jobs? Nahhhh that's beneath them. I mean worse still, NFTs can be traded on the secondary market, which would be completely ridiculous for a company to allow for cosmetics in a video game of all things.
In other words, "we are waiting to see if it'll make us money"
Lol of course Valve has a neutral opinion about it. It’s probably Gaben’s libertarian centrist stance.
This feels more like a politely negative one than a neutral one to me. It's an expression of disinterest from the devs
I'd say Gabe don't want to spent Valve's good guy points in anything controversial.
The reason why big publishers like Capcom and Square Enix, freely publish on Steam (without need for bribe money like Sony, Microsoft and Epic do) is due to the attraction of the "good guy reliability".
For example, during Bethesda+Valve pay mod fiasco Valve was quick to share half of the guilt with Bethesda and shut down everything... while of course, Bethesda show they were (and are) all the way in with the concept.
Neutral is surprising for a trust less technology from a company that's a sourof trust.
