[QUOTE=Gummylamb;20840176]Just because Steam may have microtransactions doesn't mean they're putting it into Valve games, and that also doesn't mean that they'll be giving people unfair advantages, as I said maybe they'll just be giving them an alternate way to get items.[/QUOTE]
But it says something about hats.
And I think we all know about game with hats.
I don't want to see my hats with pricetag
THE MICROTRANSACTIONS:
I believe it is for spending money through steam games on stuff servers provide. Such as VIP and what not. Valve is just acting like Paypal, but for their games.
And it will be more structured, the seller can't scam.
Didn't valve talk about people beeing able to sponsor the development of games, maybe it's something like that?

Except servers can't use Steamworks for themselves :downs:
Steamworks is a developer API used to integrate your game with Steams networks better. Us as clients cannot use it for anything other than what a developer lets us use it for (usually for Cloud based things).

Well then, only for client to client. Whatever the case, Steam itself won't be charging for that stuff.
[QUOTE=johanz;20839421]If valve starts doing micro transactions in their games, they are off of my awesome dev list.[/QUOTE]
Not Valve, the developers (indie and others) that want to add this in-game.
If Valve were to do this it'd have been announced already.
[QUOTE=radioactive;20840404]I think Valve are doing this for other companies and not their own products.[/QUOTE]
This.
If it's for Steamworks, it means it's just enabling other devs to add this functionality easily to their steam game.
it's Steam, not Valve though :s
[U][B]I hate this shit[/B][/U], pre-orders-exclusives, dlc and game-stores-exclusives can kiss my ass too.
When i buy a game, i want all of it, no the 70%

Most day 1 in game items are just that they last for a day then they are left to rot

This thread has been informative as fuck.

In reality all this does is make Steamworks a more viable platform. Without it clients would just have built their own micro-transaction systems.
Steamworks is the system through which mainly other developers sell their games, so yeah Microtransactions are highly likely going to be for other games and not for valve games.
Valve wouldn't honestly do such a thing on their own stuff.
I would lol if there was a steam exclusive free mmo that uses this for their cash shop
