[Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!

Isn't this going to hurt the Mann Co. Store?

I don't think so, at least not in the long run. Many things being sold in the market can't be bought from the Store (strange parts, for example), and things like crate keys have been bought from the Store already. For example, it's cheaper to buy crate keys on the Steam Market, but I expect that will change. Econ 101 says that if nobody's buying keys from the Store, but people are still using keys, the number of keys in existence will go down. As a result, Market key prices will go up. Eventually, they'll raise higher than the Store's price for keys, and people will start buying from Mann Co. again.

Man, talking about the Store and the Market in the same post gets confusing fast.
