The Petition

Please sign this cannot be implemented

 

I don't think signing a petition will make a big company like Valve change their decision making. If you really boil down to it this whole escrow thing is in response to the large amount of gambling in games like CS:GO ESPECIALLY underage gambling and could also be in response to the iBuyPower throwing scandal also from CS:GO.

 

Not to mention over 9 million accounts on Steam itself.
You got to 0.1% of that already. Good luck getting to half of 9 million.

 

I'm for this feature. Less dumbasses newbies getting things stolen.

 

Yes, but you got to keep in mind that I don't trade so it doesn't effect me very much.

 

I have never experienced such as a trader, and I have been doing a lot more trading lately.

This is a good discussion that explains what escrow is and how communities and kids without phones can get around it. Communities have already set up bots that will work with escrow.
If you want to get the steam app but don't have a phone, just download the Android Emulator onto your computer. It acts as a mobile device, but it is on your computer.

While this update is somewhat annoying, there are plenty of ways to get around it and will help out players who are very new to trading from being scammed for a bit.
