Steam payment HUGE price increase!

Jesus, you have literally zero idea how payment with steam work.

It's just another payment method. But on steam's end price was converted to regional price, set by SE. So prices on cosmetic items were converted to regional price without any restrictions on gifting, which allowed people to resell them.

If SE really wanted to kill reselling market all they had to do was to remove regional pricing on cosmetic items. It's that easy and they were already doing it with certain services and items.

Once it's converted to crysta, there would be no limitations. That is where the loophole lies. What you're saying is if you could continue to buy items on the Mogstation directly using Steam Wallet, simply limit those items through that method. That's why I brought up the ability to buy crysta via Steam Wallet and using that method.

Under normal circumstances.

A simple Google search revealed the issue of buying items through Steam Wallet can be circumvented with incognito status on a browser. You can then buy crysta, still, using the browser. The issue therein lies with the rates on Steam Wallet.

However, if you still can't purchase crysta under those conditions, this makes the sudden price change more alarming as the reason to change became far more questionable with its timing.
