They just have good PR, loot boxes, gambling, it's stuff that Valve also makes profit off of.
We're getting ripped off and some of us, like you, are saying that's ok.
Nobody is forcing you to pay for the loot boxes, hell nobody is forcing you to play the games with them. You could play literally nothing but Rimworld, Baldurs Gate 3, and Crusader Kings 3 without ever looking at their live service shit. Regardless even on that front Valve is still better than most.
Also I don't see profits off of gambling as immoral, I see it as stupid and weak willed by those who participate but not immoral.
I guess that's one way to not feel bad about companies praying on kids and people with addiction issues 🤷
And now I'm sending you off to the blocklist because I don't need people like you in my life, buhbye!
