In case the quote gets detached because I know how blue checks love that little maneuver (:

Out of *all* the scummy AAA game companies out there, and she decides to attack one of the most well-loved ones that don't treat their customers like metaphorical cattle to be milked?

Just goes to show how utterly out of touch the majority of Democrat politicians are...

I mean, with Valve it's very much still a problem. It's just that gamers don't see it because of how much they completely worship Valve as if they're this flawless, perfect company... While spouting that you shouldn't worship companies

Look dude I love Valve and think the "video games cause violence" like is idiotic and plainly false... But Valve does have a demonstrable gambling enablement problem.

the unfortunate thing here is that this is something worth criticizing about valve. They're not as directly predatory as other companies like actiblizz but they have essentially fostered an environment for underage unregulated gambling.

the reason they're going after valve is because you can cash out the lootbox results for real money, making them a literal slot machine with extra steps. if every result is monetarily worthless because it can't be cashed out, there's no legal case under gambling laws most places

The way Valve has gamified gambling is still a big problem even if most other companies are doing the same in harsher ways. Valve is also the company that did it first, setting the blueprint for the others.
I like Steam as much as the next guy, but they do have this coming.
