This is what I don't get, why would you get some in game currency or item that will help you for like five minutes for the same price as a game that will give you tens of hours of fun. Cosmetics I somewhat get, you wanna show off. Still think it's kinda dumb but I get it since I'm tf2 player.

Nah it's worse, because you can trade TF2/Steam items. You can't do shit with games like Fortnite, Overwatch, Valorant, etc...
