I meant by major AAA studios. I also prefaced with "in the west" AND "one of the first," not the first. Not sure why you brought up China, despite the phrasing.

Why the white knighting for Valve? I actively play Valve games and even participate in buying the occasional lootboxes. That doesn't mean they don't profit massively off of children gambling. They're a multibillion dollar corporation and do not need your defence.

Criticism and observations != hatred.
