CS:GO Player Loses $500K in Skins Due to Steam Crackdown

Steam has reportedly locked out several users for commenting on trades, including one user with over $500,000 worth of CS:GO skins. The account lockdowns are part of Valve's apparent new crackdown on spam commenters. While there are thriving third-party marketplaces for CS:GO skin trading, collectors often ping one another directly on Steam profile pages to facilitate trades or simply send the other a reminder to complete a transaction. Having your Steam account locked down can be a hassle, but it can also be costly as prices shift if you’re a trader stuck on the sidelines.
