😂 The New York Attorney General accused Valve of possible money laundering through Steam

State authorities conducted a demonstrative experiment:
a detective bought skins in Counter-Strike 2 for $550, resold them, and with the proceeds ordered a Steam Deck. Then the console was pawned for $180.

The prosecutor's conclusion: there is a potential channel for converting virtual items into cash, which can be exploited by fraudsters.

However, during the "laundering," $550 turned into $180…
Commissions, spreads, and the pawnshop discount look like the worst business model in history 😅

🚨 VALVE HARDWARE WARNING! RAM SHORTAGE HITTING STEAM MACHINES!

Component costs are surging and supply is tight. Valve is staring down major pricing pressure on the Steam Deck successor. This is a clear signal of rising hardware inflation across the board. Watch how this impacts crypto mining gear too.

• RAM availability is constrained
• Component prices are increasing
• Valve may revisit final pricing

Watch $BTC and $SUI closely as supply chain stress reappears.
