That isn’t anything to do with valve though is it.
The CS Go gambling thing was being done off-site by a 3rd party, Gabe Newell/Valve were never involved. I have no idea what about TF2 you are relating to because that’s an ancient game and you provide no context. And dota loot boxes are also nothing to do with valve
The point is that the entire system of ‘crate that needs to be unlocked with a key for a random reward’ is in itself already a form of gambling, especially as the various rewards have a value through the steam marketplace.
Wait, why do we hate Gabe?
It’s 4chan? What do you expect
Fair
Running an unlicensed online casino aimed at children and supporting a network of other unlicensed online casinos aimed at children.
But other than that I’d say he’s hard to hate.
Did he? Because I got to say that’s news to me.
Yeah csgo, TF2, and dota lootboxes

But not run by Valve.
My question is why does green text seem to think that Gabe Newell (in particular) is some kind of Uber black market gambling criminal.
Of course its run by valve, who else do you think would run it?
