    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.

        spend 2 minutes yourself or don’t, i don’t really care

        here’s a entire reddit thread on it you lazy fuck

        https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1rqz5i4/steam_support_about_the_new_york_attorney_general/

        “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."

        look at this shit, complete fucking fud

        https://www.aclum.org/publications/ai-powered-surveillance-is-turning-the-united-states-into-a-digital-police-state-now-is-the-time-to-stop-it/

        this from the aclu

        https://www.openrightsgroup.org/press-releases/roblox-reddit-and-discord-users-compelled-to-use-biometric-id-system-backed-by-palantir-co-founder-peter-thiel/

        but go ahead and tell me you think the aclu is big on conspiracy theories
