If anything, this change serves to inhibit loot box gambling by cutting the possibility of hitting a real money jackpot.

Oh, I didn't think of that. With the smaller difference betwen the most expensive and least expensive items, gambling gets less random in terms of return.

That's an improvement, though I still think the whole systems should be taken out.

That there is a "counter strike skins investment 'industry'" is utterly insane.
