Updating review from positive to negative:

We've been saying "the game is dying" for sooner, rather than later, a decade now. When we say that, we mean the game itself has been dying. Its been dying for YEARS. That doesn't mean its playerbase is dwindling, just that piece by piece, its functions, be it gameplay, quality of life, balancing, economy, is bleeding, its DYING. I have not played the ACTUAL game since ~2016-2017. All I've done is some trading ever since then and even this died for me 2 years ago. The gameplay AND trading both are dead to me. I can not love something that never loves me back. Valve does NOT deserve the diehard playerbase this game has, not until they finally get off their deadbeat butts and start working on making progress like any upholding citizen does.

Original thoughts:

Even tho the actual game is dying and after multiple breaks of playing/trading in this game, my passion for trading will not end any time soon. For whatever reason, trading is really fun and the memories I had playing this game way back, definitely makes this game deserve a recommendation in my eyes!
