To address people that want to call something that is 100% free, uses very little system resources, and generates steam wallet money.
These games do NOT use a large amount of energy, unlike mining crpyto, they are NOT crpyto and have NOTHING TO DUE WITH CRYPTO.
Please watch this video to be more informed about steam items:

If your parents are worried your sucking up their energy bill, please show them this video!
Further more, we control the drop rates, items added, but we as developers can not "spawn" extra items AFTER release. This is because if we were to "pump and dump" it wouldn't work like REAL LIFE money and crypto works.
If a developer tried to "pump and dump" items on the steam economy, they would lose OVER 90% of their "dump" to steam, while crypto scammers TAKE THE MONEY BACK because they control the CRYPTO AND THEREFOR THE MONEY.
Steam items can NOT be converted for real world cash by devs OR gamers. We make FRACTIONS of pennies for MOST trades. If you know anyone using spotify and is an artist, think of that kinda money.
This knowledge is 100% PUBLIC and steam WANTS you to know and understand how it works
