In 2018 a group of Valve staff tried to figure out just how efficient they were being—and found they were making more money per head than Apple, Facebook, and nearly every tech giant out there (www.pcgamer.com)

greedy ass companies like valve who profit out of kids.

Again, and for the last time, you have a problem with the industry. Extreme statements like this reveal what your intentions actually are. If valve is to blame, then by the same logic you would have all but the smallest game devs and publishers not exist for the want of them doing things correctly according to you, and you'd call it a solution.

This conversation is going nowhere, you will not be satisfied.

Also, telling me I'm being doxxed anyway demonstrates pretty thoroughly that you have no idea what you're talking about. Thanks for that.

EEE has nothing to do with what steam is. Other game stores exist that valve can't affect on other platforms. You're just pulling things out of your ass.

And finally, saying the government shouldn't have to fix something that won't fix itself, as evidenced by the fact that loot boxes have been an issue for a decade now, and just resorting to shaming people as a method of reprisal, has a name.

You are virtue signaling. And what you are doing here is about as effective as virtue signaling.

Anyway, blame whoever you want. The time you could have changed anyone's mind here passed with your very first comment, as evidenced by the downvotes.

You're yelling into the void. Enjoy that.

Again, Valve it's part of the industry and one if not the biggest chunk of it.

You are saying lootbooxes are an issue the government should regulate and you are spending hours defending the forprofit company of the people who pioneered lootboxes and made them popular among kids more than everybody else.

You’re yelling into the void. Enjoy that.

I don't enjoy it much but you seem confused and i'm trying to help you figure out that valve is yet another evil forprofit company and that defending them doesn't bring any justice into the world.
