PUBG dev extending Steam market restrictions on cosmetic crates

4.7
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds players who dabble in selling/buying items on Steam are once again facing restrictions.

PUBG Corp., having previously disabled player-to-player trading on Steam, has now revealed that it’s extending the market embargo the game’s various crates have.

As it stands, when you acquire a new crate in PUBG, you won’t immediately be able to sell it on the Steam market. For instance, the Aviator Crate was released on May 16 but players are still unable to sell/buy it on the Steam market.

PUBG Corp. said in a new blog post that restrictions on the Aviator Crate will be lifted on June 13.

This is the longest ever a crate has been locked from being marketable, but you should expect future crates to follow a similar schedule.

“We believe that implementing slightly longer market restriction times will help alleviate [the issue of jacked-up prices for rare items],” the developer wrote.

ItzSaxbyyy But wouldn't higher prices for rare items lead to more people buying them? Seems like they are hurting their own business


I think what they are thinking is if they give it a certain amount of time since the crate has been released, it's overall value wouldn't be as high because by the time it's in the market, the supply will be greater than if it could be sold in the market as soon as it is released. Essentially just supply and demand concept I'd imagine.
