does this mean that games like payday 2 will finally have tradable mask and weapon parts?

I hope that means steam inventory UI redesign. Current one will get so damn cluttered really fast.

bad rats better include an inventory system now

Payday 2 inventory items that could be sold would be pretty sweet.
I have hundreds of patterns, colors and masks un-crafted because I am not mask fanatic, I prefer going with stock mask of character that I am playing.

I really doubt [I]sellable[/I] masks will be a thing seeing as how cheats can give you any mask you want and in great numbers

Tradable I can see more reasonable. Goonmod already has crime.net cargo for trading and it works wonders.

Hasn't battleblock theater had this since forever?

goonmod lets you trade things to friends which is handy, but as said above its pointless introducing steam inventory to an insecure game.

This isn't very accurate. Previously, any game could use an inventory system, [b]but they had to provide their own item servers[/b]. This allows them to use Valve's.

I take it the servers are then paid from market revenue? Or are they just really cheap?

I don't really know, but basically as a steamworks partner, we looked into doing item trading but we'd have to completely code and host our own item server. We weren't exactly prepared to do that.

Anything that gives me more stuff to sell so i can continue not buying games out of my own money is fucking fantastic in my books.
