Right, but they didn’t want that to happen.

It’s just a weird side effect that’s surprisingly difficult to prevent - online games have had gold farmers for pretty much as long as there have been online games with gold.

Coffeezilla makes an interesting series of videos about casinos in the csgo community and also makes a video against Valve themselves.

Worth a watch imo

You can not want something to happen but still do so knowing the inevitable result.
