You know the Hedge Fund Fuckies are just fucking salivating at the thought of Valve being available to buy.

To implement NFT Microtransaction RNG lootboxes into their games while letting them rott?

CS2 already exists. You just need to add the Pay 2 Win to the crates.

Oh shid and cume. Isn't that sorta what the free loot cards are? The ones you get randomly for doing stuff in games. Iirc you can sell them on their marketplace for money. It isn't unreasonable for a new dick head CEO to just overhaul that system into a more active gacha system for all their games.

I was making a joke about CS2, TF2 and Dota 2

Especially TF2 however since they show 0 care to that game but still milk it.

Oh, not just their games

They’ll ruin it just like they ruin everything in pursuit of profit.

I couldn't imagine any decent reason valve would get people in charge that would want to go public with it. They have all the capital in house to fund any idiotic thing they may want to try. No reason to risk sharing profits with outside investors.
