    in-Steam NFTs on external platforms would help

    I am not saying “it would help” anyone that is getting scammed.
    All I am saying is that if Valve is talking about consumer rights, it’s not actually giving them that.

    Banks try to help prevent you from getting scammed (at least here they do), but you still hold the final say if you really want to pay the scammer. You can just withdraw cash and hand it over to them. That is what the right to transfer means.

    I am not at all talking about Valve’s supposed duty to protect people from being scammed, because my point is that them giving the user the “right to transfer” means that Valve should not even be in a position to stop a scam from happening. In that case, all they would be able to do is suggest guidelines to users one how to prevent themselves from getting scammed and it is the users’ decision whether they care to read it or not.
