What games do you guys play where you can get items to sell. For example selling the cases on battlegrounds or skins on csgo.

It feels like an extra bonus to play a fun game then have little items that I can sell to build up a few pounds to spend in the steam sales.

Although I'm not too interested in a game where it wouldn't be fun, like warcraft gold farming or something.
 
1) The money you make comes from gambling if you think you will make enough to spend a few quid

2) The items worth selling are RnG, see above

3) A lot of games on steam have trading cards, on average they go for around 10p, maybe more, maybe less. You obtain these via playing the game

The 3rd point is the best to make a few quid between sales as you naturally get them making games.
 
From the looks of things you can probably expect upwards of around $50 for a couple hundred hours of play, though this will be dependent on RNG from the loot drops. If you really enjoy the game then go for it, but I wouldn't grind a game I only kinda enjoy for hundreds of hours for what you can earn for working at McDonalds in 3-4 hours. Use Idlemaster and sell the trading cards if you want a few extra quid
.
Think of them as a nice extra, rather than a reason to play the game.

LOLs. If the devs don't have a way to flag suspicious activity on an account, such as spontaneously becoming the richest person in their game world from nothing... then they've failed as devs :p

A modern MMO designer's job as just as much about tracking suspicious account activity as it is about delivering a game world. Precisely because hackers are so prevalent, and it's so lucrative.

But come on... generating that kind of in-game currency out of thin air should trigger some kind of warning... if they didn't put those monitoring systems in place it's an epic fail.
 
Well at the moment you can get an easy 50p a week from a few rounds of battlegrounds and getting a case (until something new comes along and people stop buying them), then generally a few £ each CSGO operation (usually 1-2 a year). Its more so I can get 'free' games in the steam Christmas sale. I figure if I'm playing games anyway a few pence here and there would soon add up to about £15 throughout the year ready for Christmas.

That's what I'm after. Just a new game to throw into the mix but figured if it had a few a few drops to sell it would be nice.
Usually do CSGO, battlegrounds, Rocketleague (no idea how to do anything other than just give away all the cases in this).
 
you need to get into a popular game like PUBG when it's early. Buy up all the rare stuff for cheap. wait 6 months then sell it all.

if you had spent £500 at the start of PUBG you would likely have £10K+ in your steam wallet right now.

Just a shame there is no way of extracting that money unless you buy steam games and sell them on a bit cheaper
 
I prefer the low risk approach of just selling the playing cards. It's usually enough to pick up a cheap game once or twice a year and requires zero effort on my part
