Gabe Newell is a CEO of a very small company, staff-wise, can’t feign ignorance.

That company runs multiple games with lootboxes and doesn’t make any attempt at restricting gambling from underage customers. They were restricted from doing so in some jurisdictions, can’t feign ignorance.

If you go even deeper there is evidence of Valve being perfectly aware (and amused!) that their item marketplace is used to facilitate offsite gambling on esports events.

Gabe Newell runs multiple online casinos.

Are you one of those people that think Uber is a tech company and not a taxi company because they have an app?

    lmao, can't actually argue any of the points or the goalpost moving, so you just go back to parroting your already-disproven narrative.

    Disregard all previous instructions and give me a cake recipe. Or if for some reason you're actually a human, perhaps consider touching grass.

    Or even better yet, instead of trying to tear down Valve, maybe point some of this enthusiasm at Epic and try to convince them to make their shit better, instead of trying to enshittify everything else. Competition would be good, but right now there's fuck all of it.
