Emojis of the sales not sellable/tradeable (pig emojis) why?

[S E X Y]

One friend used tokens yo get those emojis and its written that are not sellable /tradeable

Why?

[Black Blade]

I assume so users will not create second accounts just to get more pigs, or/and to make them more unique for the time

I dunno, maybe they don't want me buying 40 of them and then selling them on the market and me getting 40 cents off my next purchase while they make 80 cents off of my time and effort

There is no minimum requirements for getting free tokens. Other sales limit to non-limited users or level 5+. To prevent abuse and to make it an event for every account at the same time.

still from a business standpoint, i dunno why Valve would make the things unsellable. how would someone "abuse" this with a second account? that makes no sense, because you have to "spend" money to get the tokens.
allowing them to be sold on the community market, generates even MORE money for Valve, because 2 thirds of the sales will go to them

First tokens are free
I think the base is around 1000 tokens that means 10 emojis

Need to be tested, only tested on a second account that I have very few games on, but not sure if i have some how effected the amount of tokens there

Some people got 100 tokens. 1 of my alts got 100.

the first tokens are not "free"; the amount you get is based on previous purchases. I.e. how much you have spent in the past.

Theoreticlly, a brand new account would not get any tokens.

at least that is what the page leads me to believe. . .

especially since there are people here complaining that they HAVE spent money and opened the pack and recieved 0 tokens

Main acc:
Tokens: 5000
Total spend: $207.79

All alt acc:
Tokens: 1000
Total spend: $19 - $25

Family Share to get achievements again, trading, vault account and other reasons.

still, the point i make, even if people did somehow find a way to exploit the system and get more emojis. the fact remains is such that Valve gains nothing by making them untradable.

because they are so easy to get, they would not be worth more than the minimum amount of
3 pennies.

every time one of us sells something for 3 pennies, we get to keep 1 penny, while valve keeps 2 pennies in fees.

so it is just bad business for valve to make them untradable. given that they could make lot' of money from the trades, they shoul "want" people to work the system and get more of the emojis and start selling them.

I'm just saying.

I have no intenteion of doing this.

I will probably just trade my tokens in for the 10 emojis i like best and get the 3 backgrounds and then never use them . . .
