I never said it’s okay. All I’m saying is that a mega-corporation can simultaneously exploit psychological loopholes for profit (loot boxes) while actively pushing open-source ecosystems (Linux), providing great value to consumers and fighting other pc gaming monopolies (Microsoft). Look at the whole picture.
Do you consider that it is morally acceptable to push thousands of kids into gambling addiction because you are doing more than Microsoft for Linux in the gaming world?
So it’s ok for you to have 10 years old developing a gambling habit and potentially ruining their live, because hey they are pushing Linux in gaming?
Sounds to me like a parenting issue, not a valve issue.
The only parental failure I’m seeing here is you. You do not deserve to take part into an adult discussion.
Did valve create the gambling games you mention?
Yes.
I feel like you’re straw-manning here.
