Valve, the master of microtransactions, has invented a new type of loot box that seems to get around regulations in some European countries.

    These skins have 15% returns? That seems dubious but it could be. I don’t think you can sink $300k into skins like you can vanguard, though.

      I bought operation cases for around 100€ 5 years ago, it’s now worth 1000€

      That’s the case with a lot of collectibles. LEGO is a great investment but you have to keep it somewhere

      There are skins worth millions, so definitely you can.
