How I Robbed The 2024 Steam Summer Sale - Steam Is Perfectly Balanced With NO EXPLOITS...

[@Get_the_math_out]

Forget the disclaimer, he offered his TEA. This is a serious issue.

[@allstarwoo4]

He has to put the disclaimer because he know people are stupid enough to still go through with it. You do not mess with fraud, at least in the US. Fraud is a big deal because it usually leaves a trail so it's pretty easy track down the account. And for liability reasons banks and payment processing will absolutely give that account up. Not to mention the potential damages they will absolutely use that person as an example.

[@ledumpsterfire6474]

​​@@allstarwoo4 I imagine the people doing this for real severely underestimate the potential consequences there. Historically, fraudsters often receive a length of incarceration that makes child abuse sentencing look like a brief stint. Better yet, the companies you defrauded can still file civil suits on you beyond whatever criminal charges the state/fed pressed, so you might do 15 years just to get out and have any money you make heavily garnished for the rest of your life.

How you force companies to fix issues: make millions of people aware of the exploit. Suddenly, it's no longer a "fixing it costs us $100,000, but just dealing with a minor amount of customer service tickets costs us nothing" situation, suddenly it's a "we have two thousand people doing the exploits every minute now, CS is overworked, and companies are threatening to sue, this is gonna cost us millions if we don't fix it." And that's why some software engineers at Valve and PayPal are now working closely together and won't stop working until they solves these issues, getting themselves a negative mark on their records for having this expensive bug in the first place, and seeing their bosses get a higher bonus for making the right choices in a stressful situation.

@@admiralkaede Absolutely, I'm a big fan of consumer protections like that and they can be very strong even as just a threat like it was for you, but I will warn anyone reading that you should always try to work with the vendor first because if you go straight to a chargeback there are some companies that will blacklist your payment method on the assumption that the initial charge is being reversed because it was fraudulent and your payment method is compromised. (At least, that's the stated reason. They might just figure that someone who does a chargeback once is more likely to do it again. Who knows!)

I stumbled in to the sticker trick by hoarding some of the first round of team stickers and boy did that feel pretty great when I finally unloaded them. I'm 90% sure there's money laundering going on with the stickers but 300% return on my initial investment was fucking awesome. I'm proud to be even accidentally tangentially as clever as you.

the delisted games exploit has been out there for years, i know a few people that got their access to closed betas (that they didn't have access to legitimately) by using this exploit. it sucks but at least its not really actual "theft" per say however, the steam marketplace exploit i was not aware of, but it now makes sense to me why the value of super rare CSGO skins started to fluctuate considerably in the past year.

[@utsuhoreiuji2309]

Unfortunately, it seems this has been patched, meaning the Black Rose is once again unavailable in TF2 for anyone who didn't already have it, as are the Poker Night and Poker Night 2 achievement items.

There's another layer to this you didn't mention in the video, luckily because Steam just put a bandaid fix that would prevent this from being possible, game developers tend to have packages containing every game they ever released as a private SubID for developers in the company which can be publicly read through SteamDB. If that were added to your cart you would have permanent access to every game published by the large company you took from whether it was Capcom, Ubisoft, WB Games, or any other company that has these packages.
