The lawsuit aims to “stop Valve from promoting gambling features in its games, disgorge all ill-gotten gains, and pay fines for violating New York\u2019s laws.”

    Not everyone, but plenty of people in this thread do. And plenty of gamers in general excuse their bad behavior.

      You’re a citizen in a village. The Nazis have come to your village and decide to destroy you. You attack the friendly village toymaker for hosting gambling nights for everybody.

      Yes, it’s wrong.

      No, it’s not the time.

      Nuance is dead.

          What do you think would be a more apt analogy, then? Maybe I’m painting them in an unfair light. But, my point is that they’re a toymaker that makes and distributes entertainment for everybody, but also do this thing that kinda sucks.

      That’s true. I’ve gotten pushback for criticizing Valve and there is a lot to criticize.

      They might be better in some way than other US tech companies, but that’s doesn’t mean much.
