It's a different scheme. While the developers can print as many items as they want if they want to, the prices are entirely made out by the community. So they just manipulate the odds to make some items rarer. If they print the same items, the price will fall right off.
However why the game has this much players is that its really easy to bot.
I see, it does not match all the properties of Ponzi scheme. But those people are idiots. And Valve really should intervene this since similar titles already popped up. Basically there is no end to that.
I wish GOG had local prices like Steam.
