Topic: Steam Market Revisited 2.0
So let me begin with a big apology. Dev Zoom we are sorry we blew the Steam market thing out of proportion. It has come to our recent attention that this could promote a sustainable market environment and promote players actually doing stuff. We Collectively from CIR/-77-, say We are sorry. We now realize what you were trying to do and tbh, it was a really good idea. We wish to collectively back you as a community by introducing Perpetuum to the Steam Market.

Steam trading and market integration
This is something that we still need to do some research on, but I’m putting it here because we plan to do it sooner rather than later. As you probably know, several games have items that can be traded via the Steam economy already. The general idea is that first you would be able to trade ingame items via Steam, for example your Gropho Mk2 for some trading card or another Perpetuum originated item.
The ultimate goal however is that we’ll also hook up Perpetuum to the Steam community market, where you’ll be able to sell and buy ingame items for Steam wallet funds. We’re approaching this very carefully of course - it could be a large boost to the ingame economy, but things could also go wrong with it.
After letting our very intelligent gentlemen of Hebrew persuasion review and analysis the potential outcomes we have concluded in our CORP only forum that this could indeed be very profitable for all players involved. Please, Please, Please, accept our apology.
--I would like to introduce another Idea too.
*Player account transfer/sells.
-I would like to see player accounts that could be bought and sold in a secure way through AC website. I would like to see AC be able to regulate this in a manner were they make 25% of the transaction. This would help stimulate revenue for AC and would allow players to INVEST IN YOUR GAME.
**How does Investing work? Simple, A player would purchase an account through the website for $26.00 They would sit on the account for 6months to 1 year than sell the account through the website. The result could potentially be Steam credits, actual cash, or In game Nic. This would allow for me as a player to invest cash into you while I received some kind of reaping reward besides a booster and a game.
*Re introduce ICE
- ICE would be a bundle of PC, enough PC to buy ONE booster. I would ask that the ICE on the website be more than the base $9.99. The ICE should be atleast $15.99 to slow some of the pay to win crowd. Ultimately Perpetuum is a numbers game, and in literal sense there is No pay to win. Even if you could stream endless bots from a station you would only be strong enough if you had a pvp force to actually take territory. A lot of our older members used to buy ICE to reduce the grind in game so they could pvp. I would like to see that again.
Thank you for your time.
