Valve shutting down all CS:GO gambling websites???

So a few weeks back this went down

It turns out that tmartn2 and syndicate, famous youtubers, own a CS:GO gambling websites, that they promoted in their videos where they win big sums of money in CS:GO items, neither tmartn2 nor syndicate told in those videos that promoted website is their website, besides that tmartn even told in one of his streams that he "found" the website and that it was a great feeling to win some money on it (let me remind you: he was actually the owner of the website).

Valve responded with this: "In 2011, we added a feature to Steam that enabled users to trade in-game items as a way to make it easier for people to get the items they wanted in games featuring in-game economies.

Since then a number of gambling sites started leveraging the Steam trading system, and there’s been some false assumptions about our involvement with these sites. We’d like to clarify that we have no business relationships with any of these sites. We have never received any revenue from them. And Steam does not have a system for turning in-game items into real world currency.

These sites have basically pieced together their operations in a two-part fashion. First, they are using the OpenID API as a way for users to prove ownership of their Steam accounts and items. Any other information they obtain about a user's Steam account is either manually disclosed by the user or obtained from the user’s Steam Community profile (when the user has chosen to make their profile public). Second, they create automated Steam accounts that make the same web calls as individual Steam users.

Using the OpenID API and making the same web calls as Steam users to run a gambling business is not allowed by our API nor our user agreements. We are going to start sending notices to these sites requesting they cease operations through Steam, and further pursue the matter as necessary. Users should probably consider this information as they manage their in-game item inventory and trade activity.

So it turns out that those websites are not even allowed to exist and all of them will most probably be closed. Now I am a bit mix minded, young people will not play and lose money, though a lot of people invest a lot in CS:GO items and the closing of the gambling websites will surely push the items prices down, thus giving them the huge loss, besides that gambling website owners will stop earning a living with their websites.

In my opinion, it was kind of a dumb move from tmartn and syndicate, as far as I understood their case ignited all this huge thing, if this was not uncovered, I doubt it would be such a huge thing now.
