Steam Gift and Item Trading now in Beta!

How is this different from trading in Team Fortress 2?
We’ve improved the display of changing which items are in the trade, and significantly increased the number of items that can be traded in one session. We hope these improvements will help with confusion or users trying to deceive others in the trade.

So I guess we can trade more than 8 items. I don't know i'll have to check it out. But doesn't sound like too much of a difference just reading the change on paper.

It's different if you want to trade Steam gifts with someone. Previously, if you want to trade either TF2 items or a gift for another... you would have to rely on someone going first and the other party honoring the agreement. Now it's a built in feature where there's some security in that both people get their stuff at the same time.

It's basically just Vavle saying "You people were already doing this so this will cut down on scamming."... not to mention "Games as currency for virtual items? HA! We're gonna be RICH(er)!".

Oh yea, maybe steam api will let verifying gifts soon!

No hats.

What about those?
