I would never pay for a cosmetic or loot box. but if that's the story of thing someone wants to do, I think this new system is fine
For FTP games that I am really enjoying, I will buy stuff sometimes to support the game.
This is pretty disgusting. Just make a normal skin store where people can buy the skins they want at whatever price you(valve) decide they are valued at. No fomo. No gambling.
Isn't that what they did? Except to help preserve the "value" if the rare items you still have to get lucky to be allowed to buy them.
If they had a store where you could buy the ultra rare skins for 1000$, that would push down the "value" if the skins more quickly.
The way they are preserving the value is a form of fomo.
