  I thought it was because they made gambling open to minors and took 30% of all game sales

        Man, looked at my bank statement many years ago and noticed several little charges. A few cents here and a few cents there. The biggest one was maybe .80 cents.

        My son had fallen for some scam ran by a YouTuber and was buying and trading skins.

        I will say though, now that time has passed, some of those skins are worth insane amounts of money. I’d sell them if I wasn’t so stupid sentimental.

        My son got in trouble for doing that, but it still takes me back to a pleasant time when I look at the inventory.

      I’m talking about gambling, because you can sell the skins for real money. There’s an expectation of a financial prize.

      A lot of people are unconditional fans of Steam and Valve but are pretty uneducated. They’ll defend Valve because they brought a lot of good in the community but will ignore all the negatives.

      Valve does a great job on this by not responding to allegations and dramas, so people don’t learn the news.

      Sorry it happened! Try again in another community and later. Word it correctly :) - you don’t care about « karma » here. Let’s educate more people :)

  there is a thing called shared front-end components, so each time you need to add a button on an interface, you don’t need to recreeate a new one and it looks consistent for the user. And Steam is known for being super slow at rolling out anything.

    Your still have to update tests and implement shared components in the first place.
