if you can’t see how hurting valve is a direct benefit to epic or ubi we’re wasting my time
irrelevant point? lol that’s not at all how business
works
i don’t care about the gambling money beyond the hypocrisy of it while sports betting, digital currency markets and fucking polymarket exist, and i’m claiming shadiness because epic has its hand up multiple ags asses in multiple markets, just take a look at apple or google stores as well as valve, epic is funding this politic to its own benefit because it failed so fucking hard competing the real way and the ags see it as an easy target since coalitions cost money
if she actually gave a damn about gambling we’d be seeing her go after sports betting first by sheer volume, draft kings is fucking disgusting
steam is actually doing some positive things for consumers and it’s asinine to start with valve
if you think morality is involved in the american legal system you live a charmed life
if you can’t see how hurting valve is a direct benefit to epic or ubi we’re wasting my time

Did you even read what I said? Valve losing it’s gambling money is going to have no impact on their market share in the PC storefront market space because Valve is already making boatloads of money even without the gambling money. Valve doesn’t need to do anything to make up for the loss because they don’t need to be greedy. They can eat “the loss” and continue business as usual which means there is no direct benefit for any competing storefront. If anything it might end up being a net negative because (while it probably won’t directly impact Epic or Ubisoft) some big studios still use lootboxes and this ruling would further push getting them banned. There’s an indirect benefit to Epic of Ubisoft in the form of Valve making less money but when you make insane amounts of money making slightly less insane amounts of money isn’t anything Epic of Ubisoft will feel. So yeah, I’d like to see you explain how the gambling lawsuit would directly benefit Epic of Ubisoft.
if she actually gave a damn about gambling we’d be seeing her go after sports betting first by sheer volume
So she shouldn’t go after Valve where there’s a legitimate case to be made? Because she should be going after some other nondescript entity that she may not even have a case against? Yeah, makes total sense.
if you think morality is involved in the american legal system you live a charmed life
So according to you SKG movement isn’t driven by the moral point that we should own the things we buy? So who is funding that initiative? Who gains to benefit from it? Come on, give me the juice. Let me suckle on that conspiracy teat. It’s all conspiracies, no good guys ever exists. Ross Scott is a paid actor.
lol you restating your position doesn’t suddenly make it true
just because you have no idea how fortune 500s work isn’t my concern
if she cares about valve while draft kings, polymarket, tcgs, roblox, and digital coins exist she’s a joke and this is from someone who thinks gambling is a cancer
roblox is literal gacha for preteens in a cesspool with pedos
and she doesn’t have a case for valve either lol, this shits going nowhere, this whole ‘think of the kids bullshit’ for a game rated M and a site requiring you be > 13 is just more fud for a real id
it’s not conspiracy to literally google epic using states to sue competition: google apple valve have been targeted for anticompetitive practices
epic games anti trust + state coalitions
all while epic has historically come under fire for also being anticompetitive pure lol
and for the gambling charges google all the states + federal governments (eu as well) pushing for online ids for various ‘think if the children’ reasons
Okay, so your arguments are “I pull random shit I won’t explain out of my ass” and “CONSPIRACY”. Alrighty, bye. Don’t let the chem trails throw you off the edge of the flat earth.
“In addition, although this case is about illegal gambling, it is important to note that Valve’s promotion of games that glorify violence and guns helps fuel the dangerous epidemic of gun violence, particularly among young gamers who can become numbed to grave violence before their brains are fully developed."
