That’s not how cs works. You can sell the items either on steam market (which steam makes even more money from) or to a 3rd party website where they will give you actual money (sometimes in the thousands, the most we’ve ever seen was an item going for ~$675,000).
Does anyone actually know anyone thst can provide a first hand account of selling an item for upwards of 10k in the past 3 years? Everyone I know just repeats Twitter posts as evidence
But market determines value based on demand/supply. And if you unload too much supply into the world, the price will drop. I have no clue why people try to argue that regulating this will change anything.
Remove it all, sure. But regulating the odds won’t do a single thing. Unless you don’t like super-rare items, that is about the only thing that regulations can change.
But also casinos have an actual payout, while lootboxes give you in-game stuff.

Here are the options as I see it: fun + chance of money, or likely disappointment. The first is regulated, the second is not.
Between those two, I don’t know why I’d ever pick the second.
I would never pick the online version of casino either. Your money will do you better in a piggy bank.
Agreed, gambling in general is stupid.
