If you ever fall victim to a scam on Steam in the future and end up losing in-game items as a result of it, bad news I'm afraid. Valve have now shifted their position on item recovery; basically saying they will no longer do it.



“We sympathize with people who fall victim to scams, but we provide enough information on our website and within our trading system to help users make good trading decisions. All trade scams can be avoided.” Valve said about the change, also noting that rollback that add more of an item to the pool of items decreases the rarity of the items in question.



They have a point I must admit, but something about this still makes me feel a little uneasy. Maybe that's me just seeing the negative though.
