    And yet, Valve is touted as being among the most ethical and moral of gaming companies.

    I think it’s funny that while Stake was getting blasted on Twitch, CS:GO sat quietly in its corner hoping no one would look its way.

    There are people who have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on this shit.

    It’s a problem.

        Because society has deemed gambling a problem requiring regulation. These things exist outside that regulation while being psychology the same.

        Also, gambling addiction has the highest rate of suicide of all addictions. And I think we should be trying to lower the amount of people that kill themselves.

          I’ve never given two shits about what society has decided about my psychology. It’s nobody’s place to decide for me. If someone wants to kill themselves, let them. Help them even.
