> most trades happened off-platform

I thought it was impossible to trade off platform? All item trades happen within Steam, they have an API to facilitate it and everything.

It would be more correct to say that most _payments_ happen off-platform. They still use the Steam API for trades, but it's just bots trading with players for nothing and payment is facilitated offsite.
