I'm sure you've all got many more questions on some of the details we touched upon in the letter, so please drop them here and I'll do my best to answer!

Can you tell us if any of the optimizations for lower a specced PCs mentioned in the letter will be on the live server tomorrow? Or if there is any sort of ETA on those improvements?
Some went live April 9 and we plan to keep introducing more incremental improvements, although can't speak of an ETA right now!
Info about the Trade Ban you talked about ?
I spoke to the team about this and there are no plans to bring back trading. The temporary removal should now be seen as permanent, as we were unable to find a solution to the issues mentioned in the original announcement.
The main issues mentioned in the original post mostly hold strong still to this day, with additional issues of the impact to players who have their account compromised and items stolen. While the account is often recovered, it's less common to get items recovered.
This is something I'm going to discuss with the team further, especially as we look to enable 2 factor auth with SMS in the near future, but the expectation should be that it will not return.
How about allowing trading only if you have 2FA with a mobile number attached? Has to be a contracted mobile number and can't be a burner SIM card.
Not sure if that's possible technically with the way Steam API works, but it's something we can look into. I like the idea!
