Comment on Steam :: About the New York Attorney General lawsuit against Valve
LegitimateEngineer@lemmy.world 1 day agoDid end up watching it (I’ve always enjoyed PMG vids and Quinns). In a way I see it, I just don’t quite fully understand why the onus is on Valve. If valve was directly running the gambling sites, that would be one thing. I would give them flack for accepting sponsorships for dota with some of them. Though it’s a similar vein to sport kings advertisements on shows and such.

Even before you get to the reseller sites that Valve is definitely aware of, benefiting from, and doing nothing to stop, the way the system is intended to work is still using all of the tricks out of the slot machine playbook.

Is it fair to say they’re “doing nothing to stop it”? They have indeed been shutting banning users for this, according to themselves millions of them.
Not saying it’s enough, but it’s hardly nothing.

This is true, but most things digital do the same thing if I remember correctly. I think rocket league with free loot boxes does that.

To follow-up I found this post and feel like this is more the way to attack it possibly.
