Over the past few days, we have seen quite a big crackdown over in-game PUBG skins. Valve was in the driving seat as it took down various websites who were famous for trading skins for CS:GO and Dota 2 and most recently PUBG.

The first one came in the form of a ban over the most famous trading website Dota2lounge and CSGOlounge. This prevented the players from betting skins on competitive CS:GO and Dota 2 matches and gave a huge blow to the website that was solely dependent over the trade commission to run.

While trading is still a part of it as of now, both CSGOlounge and Dota2lounge have lost the glory days when millions of users logged into the website everyday.

“ We’ve seen a few cases of players using the personal trade function to sell items using third party sites. This is essentially an abuse of the system.

”

Now, Valve has turned its aim towards PUBG and most notably the item trading website OPSkins. Valve has stopped skin trading on the said website without any “grace period.” This has prevented players to even retrieve their PUBG skins from the website. And the community is not very happy about it.

According to the research from the Redditor, IAmNotOnRedditAtWork a total of 964,243 PUBG skins that are worth over $1 Million are lost in the process.

All the data for this can be viewed from the reddit thread but what matters that most is that both PUBG Corp and Valve has kind of turned a blind eye towards the loss despite the huge amount involved with players having skins worth up to $2000 on OPSkins. The PUBG corporation statement in this regards can be seen above.

Valve also has a similar stance in this matter and continues to remain brutal against trading sites.

Tell us what you think about the loss and if you were among the unlucky ones to loss your precious skins in the process.
