Attorney General James Sues Game Developer for Promoting Illegal Gambling Through Video Games
NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James today sued Valve Corporation (Valve), a video game developer, for illegally promoting gambling through video
So you’re okay with kids sports betting and flat out gambling in casinos right? Just say it.
This is the equivalent of you screeching because states require age verification for porn. Are you mad the 12 year olds can’t get onto pornhub any more as well?
So you bring up two forms of gambling to convince me we should ban not-gambling?
And if you support digitalID to get on the internet you’re a fucking mongoloid who shouldn’t be here. Reddit is probably more your speed. Have you given the rothschilds your dicktip-scan so you can log back into discord yet?
Write the mathematical difference between gacha or trading cards and roulette. I’ll wait.
So you support kids being able to walk into a sex store and buy anything? You mad that online porn used to require payment processing as a form of age verification? Just say you want kids watching porn, at least it’ll be honest of you.
YOU CANT WIN MONEY FROM GACHA OR TRADING CARDS YOU FUCKING DOLT
You want an equation? Here it is:
$0 prizes != gambling
Blow it out your ass, you disingenuous faggot
So there’s no secondary market for either correct? If I pay money for a gambling chip but they don’t reimburse the value of the chip where I bought it, it’s no longer gambling? That’s your big argument there retard? Steam allows the direct sale of obtained loot boxes for their own currency which has actual monetary value.
Someone’s mad because they don’t have an actual argument.
Lol this comment chain is hilarious.
"Win" with a MTG booster pack: I got a black lotus!
"Win" with actual gambling: I got cash!
There, that's the mathematical difference. Black lotus != cash.
😂😂😂😂 so you can’t sell the Black Lotus? Oh wait you’re still pretending a secondary market doesn’t influence trading card practices.
No one knows you're a dog on the internet and that's the way it should be.
If kids are getting onto sites they ought not have access to, that's a parenting issue. Full stop.
Fascinating considering the most wanted feature on the internet is a country filter. Internet libertarianism was cute when Americans made up the overwhelming majority of people on the internet and porn was regulated by a paywall.
And? There are millions of horrible parents out there. We magically regulate a ton of things with kids because parents are horrible at being parents. Shall we stop doing ID checks for tobacco and booze too?
Because you're being a retarded authoritarian, yes. Yes we should stop checking ID for those things.
“Stopping kids from gambling is authoritarianism”
Fascinating
Honest question. Were card packs always gambling, or were they just random? Because Garbage Pail Kids were something I remember being able to have all of them with extra to trade. Did the odds get so bad, that NOW trading cards are gambling?
Depends on the company, most allowed you to get what you wanted within a reasonable amount of chance and some were always rare valued. Around the late 80s early 90s trading cards starting losing momentum from over saturation which saw the super omega rare cards being printed to drive sales. This worsened with eBay and online platforms because basic supply and demand.
I agree with everything you just said. So, that means enshitification caused things to become gambling that didn't used to be gambling? Or, depending on the person who is purchasing intended purpose?
I think loot boxes are gambling. That makes games loot boxes in less fun for me.
Basically. The need to min/max profits drove trading cards to be more than fun collectibles. Most trading card companies would not exist today without that secondary market being the main driver of sales.
