I know the author make good point, i know it is unjust, i know individuals are bad at predicting risk and are pushed by culture and peer pressure into those "get rich quick" schemes, i know unregulated markets are predatory.
Intellectually, i should agree with the author here (minus a last point [0]).
And yet emotionally, i just can't care. They made their bed, they lie in it is my honest gut feeling. I know it's unjust, i just can't stop myself.
[0] That kind of "only available by gambling" skins were getting regulated out of existence soon, Valve just took a step before getting called out publicly. Anybody in the CSGO legendary skin market should have seen it coming. It was talked about in Brussels in 2019, and when Riot game made the Arcane skin only available by gambling but "if you gamble enough (500€ i think), you automatically get this skin" was a pretty clear warning shot.
