Steam Community Market Enters Beta
Valve introduced the Steam Community Market today, which will expand upon the Steam service and allow players to buy and sell in-game items for Steam Wallet funds.
The Steam Community Market is currently in beta with Team Fortress 2, and will be available for other titles beginning next year. The Market is supposed to expand Steam’s economy beyond the popular trading system, which is currently seeing over 500,000 trades per week, according to Tony Paloma of Valve.
Do you have any interest in buying or selling in-game items?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
