Coffeezilla did a 3-part series about how CS2 skin gambling is flourishing and hooking children as young as 12 and Valve is profiting from its inaction to crack down on it.
Buying them randomly and being able to trade them is the a distinct decision and it powers this industry. They could shut this off immediately if they wanted to, but they profit from it.

What a dumbshit take, sorry to say.
The only thing that’s dumbshit is your simplistic understanding of how the world works and how these systems interplay
Ah yes, lets blame an unrelated platform instead of the ones that are abusing it.
