In a short paragraph:-

Steam is adding a "escrow." Basically, if one person who trades items via steam to another user is not using mobile authentication, the trade has a cooldown until it goes through, which would destroy trading and a number of community sites.

Thats a wrong move imo.

The toxic-as-hell phishing 'community' will finally die off along with these shite trades.

How the FK they manage to hack you all the time anyway?

[Red Wolf]

Wait, I made a trade without number verification.
When is it expected to be effective?

Its not the on right now.

[Koray]

nice.

I like it.

[Phantoms]

Hows that nice? this will have an substantial effect on a very artificial market. People will be more reluctant to pay thousands of dollars, because sites like opskins will not exist and it will therefor much harder to cash out dropping skin value significantly and running an already shaky market , I think the email athentication is enough , Valve can't fully eliminate the scammers , at this point they are just making things harder for normal users

Sites like opskins, csgolounge.com etc are most likely getting white listed which currently they already have

as far as steam bots are not against steam rules, and steam is aware of them, then I doubt anything can happen to them.
Just like todo said. Unless steam implements a rule that states that bots aren't allowed.
