The Lowlands Gamer Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 So recently, Steam released the Escrow update: an update that requires the use of a mobile authentication app to confirm trades and receive items immediately. However, if both parties do not have the Mobile App, the users must wait 3 days or more to get the traded items. In addition, if a trade is canceled, you are trade blocked for a week with all players. I find this to be overprotective on steams' half, but i'm wondering what other people think. I am currently Escrow trade blocked until Tuesday, so this update is frustrating to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TestingM Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I've got some items to sell but I just can't be bothered as most players won't want to bother trading with me (windows phone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lowlands Gamer Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 I feel what you mean. While I won't have to deal with the mobile authentication BS on my end, I still have to deal with it for others, as well as the obvious week trade block. It's like "Valve, I know you're a cautious company, but why make your customers' lives hell with something they don't want???" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
