Retiring Community Treasures Treasure Marketability Changes

As the application of gambling regulations to video games changes, and potential new legislation is introduced in jurisdictions around the world, we want to ensure that Depth is available for as many of our players as possible. As outlined in Depth's 2018 Roadmap we will be retiring the sale and trade of all treasures in one week. While free reward treasures will remain in Depth, to comply with all international laws treasures from any source will no longer be sold by us, nor marketable on the Steam Marketplace. Note that this change applies only to the treasures themselves, any skins which are unboxed will remain marketable for the foreseeable future. At this time, we have no plans to make skins from the Community Treasures available on the Depth Item Store, however this may be something we may look to exploring in the future to continue to support our content creators. In recent months about 12% of Depth's revenue has come from treasure sales, so while this is some money it is not a large enough amount that it will impact our update schedule or content patch sizes.

Which treasures exactly will not be tradeable/marketable?
All Treasures - this includes the Community Treasures, Event Treasures, Quest Treasures, etc.

Will my skins remain tradeable/marketable?
Yes, all skins will remain tradeable/marketable. This includes skins obtained from treasures both past/future.

Is Depth going Free-to-Play?
We currently have no plans of going Free-to-Play. (This question seemed to come up a lot below.)

Are you turning off the Steam Marketplace?
No, we have no plans on turning off the Steam Marketplace. Only the treasures themselves will no longer be marketable. All the skins will remain on the market, and remain marketable.
