steam nft's

[slak]

i think steam would be a really good platform to start its own NFT trading system.

If you don't know what a NFT is, its a non-fungible token. so a 1 of 1 item. steam already has its own community market and its own inventory system witch is awesome. now imagine if we could make our own art collections, sell them on a NFT market, not the in-game item market or els that would just end up in clutter but a new NFT market.

now you may be wondering. why would we want these random pieces of art, imagine if steam allowed you to set these NFT's as your profile picture giving the NFT's a purpose. i think that would be really fun and pretty cool. the only bad thing would be having to wait 7 days between each trade.

Don't see the point of it. Has your mentioned Steam already has a market why would they need NFT market. What does Valve get out of it?.

Too much risk right now. After a couple years when various countries have settled on the legality of NFTs and people can more easily discern scams involved it might be a good idea.

well valve would get their normal 10% of each sale, so they are getting money. it's also just to inspire creativity. i can not just make something and up it onto their market, id need to own a game for that and even still i do not have the option to add that as my profile picture. and on top of that trading is just something that heaps of people using the steam platform enjoy doing.

its kinda risk free, if the NFT concept was on steam all purchase's would be through steam balance so their would be no risk of crypto scams and what not. as much as im referring to it as a "NFT" its more so just a NF because it would not be a token. it would just be handled buy valve and valve only.

Why tokenize?

Not going to happen. They've already put their foot down and stated they will not partake in pushing NFT games.

Valve just banned this sort of stuff, so why would you suggest something they banned?

[Zekiran]

Where are these zealots coming from?

We didn't see this kind of nonsense with such frequency UNTIL they actually announced that

NFTS are NOT WELCOME on Steam

... Oh yeah it's probably because the epic idiots decided to do the opposite.

By all means, go throw your money away on this crap there. Worthless crap is worthless on any platform.

ahhh, sorry that i don't read up on steam. i was unaware that they banned nft's. also what do you mean worthless, people decide the price on nft's and people are willing to spend over $0 meaning they are worth something. i don't know what you mean by that so id love you to clarify your stupid statement. everything is worth what people are willing to pay.

the other thing is, valve stated that they did not want items with real world value on their platform, so my idea is still valid due to the fact that i stated "purchase's would be through steam balance". once your money is turned into steam money it removes the "real world value". so what you have said is just negative and not relevant

No it's not valid. Valve has made it clear they have no interest in NFTs or crypto hence the removal of things such as BTC as a payment method some time back. You're arguing semantics for what is still essentially the same thing that Valve has no interest in peddling.

I dont understand why crypro/nft people are so zealous about pushing its use on other people. I got into an argument with someone irl because they were like "yeah, i been making tons of money farming btc, you should do it." I just said, "I'm not interested" and he goes off, "in what? Making money? You just dont understand it, its super awesome and you will make a ton of money." It was just a back and forth with him insisting and me just not showing interest and he started getting mad, like i had insulted his beliefs or something...

Is this... is this a new world religion all these people have been indoctrinated into? Did something happen that i missed?

You can buy games in the store that aren't published by Valve. The publishers would probably prefer to get paid in 'real money' - If you load your wallet (Steam money) with a credit card or a gift card, Valve gets that money, you get store credit, you spend store credit, publishers get money. NFTS would basically make the value of store credit unreliable and the transaction between customer, Valve and publishers much more of a hassle and prone to potential losses.

i think you all are missing the point.
an NFT is just a non fungible token, obviously valve would own the token and would not be connected to a blockchain so it would have no relevence to your whole crypto conspiracys or what ever you are all talking about.

my big idea is their to be a market place on steam for people to share and sell their art to people as profile picture, just a fun way to get artist's and traders involved with steam.

i don't get why all you boomers are so weird about the whole thing.
