Sure, it's a good option for children to start experimenting with our economy and all, but will anyone asking for USD actually want to take these Steam$ items? I'm skeptical.
Thats more of a personal issue, games aren't meant to be a form of income in the first place. There are instances of people being able to gain decent in-come off some games, but thats just due to their own luck and skill. When playing a game you should already be in the mentality that once you spend money on the game its gone, not "I can earn it back later". Remember that a games soul purpose is entertainment, if you want to make money then you should be working a job, not playing a game. Want the best of both worlds? Then go stream or do youtube with your games, simple as that.
