Crypto doesn’t ensure you get the product. Like with real cash, other party might just run away with money

Which is why intermediaries exist and why crypto isn't in any way a solution for the problem this entire post is about. And why bringing it up randomly is complete tech bro wankery.

Are you concerned that Valve runs away with your money?

Valve? Not concerned. Random company selling something I need for a good price? Sure.

The intermediaries are useful when dealing with less trustworthy merchants.
