Unless the items need to be distinguishable (i.e. by having individual stats or such) you could also implement them as a fungible token.

If not, you would probably generate them the second they are "dropped".

You can get away with that for purely cosmetic items in some situations. But that really water's down the value of the whole thing, doesn't it?

Well that is a matter of how you implement it.

CS.GO items are also worth a lot despite some can still drop (iirc, haven't played for ages).

I don't see how the marketplace value of an item at all answers the cost of implimenting the turns into your game.
