Their overall strategy seems to be running Valve out of money, and then crash it so that Epic (Tencent), Microsoft, Apple, and Google can take over Valve's marketplace.

Epic (Tencent), Microsoft, Apple, and Google

The Microsoft, Epic, Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon Gang are all a bunch of MEGAFAGs.

Are they fucking retarded? Valve has 300 employees (minimal overhead) and brings in $5 billion dollars a year. On top of that, gamers love the platform. They'll literally go out of their way to defend it if they have to.

Good luck legal kikes and nigger AGs, you won't win. And if you do, a bunch of unemployed gamers will have nothing better to do than just fuck with you guys because you're messing with their dearly held hobbies. I can't wait to see the shitstorm this is going to start.

That is precisely why they must knock Valve out through lawfare instead of competing.

They generate 1 billion dollars a year online in digital skins.

Thats fucking wild, and counter strike/dota2/tf2 are in the worst state they have ever been.

Must be nice to just float on the pacific ocean all day not a worry in the world.

Based on 2025–2026 data, the claim that CS2 skins generate massive amounts of revenue is accurate, with recent estimates suggesting Valve's revenue from in-game cases and keys alone approaches or exceeds $1 billion annually

I dont know if you guys are paying attention but gambling is destroying lives right now, and valve is playing a huge role in that. Its so weird that you guys give them a free pass for it. Most players ive seen agree thats its a casino first, game second.

Sure, but valve stopped being a video game company a long time ago. They make way more money selling other people's games on their glorified file server.

I'm not here defending loot boxes or gambling. We're just smart enough to realize they're not doing this for the noble causes they're pretending to care about.

It's about extracting money from a privately held company, and forcing surveillance on all their customers, or whatever hidden nefarious purpose they actually have. CatoTheElder said what their actual motivations are earlier.

You really think a jew named (((Rothschild))) and some nigger AG from NYC really gives a fuck about saving people's lives from gambling?

Wrong.

Idiots with no self control are destroying their own lives. And that kind of person will always find a means to do that to themselves.

Tagging. Drugs. Booze. Shoplifting. Sexual degeneracy.

Literally doesn't matter what the means is. You have a people problem, namely the fact that most people are morons. You're never going to plastic wrap life enough to let those idiots live in a consequence free environment. Take that leftoid utopian nonsense somewhere else, and let the adults live like adults already.

Ehh, I think cigarette companies not being able to actively lie to you and say that tobacco is good for you (the Surgeon General's warning) is a good thing, as an example.

I personally just want gambling treated the same way as tobacco, legal, but advertising is banned/restricted to right outside of the locations they're sold at

That is straight up false. The entire "market cap" is 2.5-3 billion depending on sources. And that is for all skins since they were introduced in 2013. Since valve only gets 30% of that to begin with its only 69 million a year, tops. Or about one Slay the Spire 2.

Edit: Oh and, Valve's games have always been trash. It's only purpose is Steam. And Steam is the only games store that allows negative player reviews. Or reviews at all.

Not entirely true, GOG has player reviews on it. I couldn't tell you how heavily curated they are though, so the point probably still stands.

Oh no, whatever will they do against a bunch of unemployed gamers writing angry posts on the internet.

Go look at what a bunch of unemployed losers did to a guy named Patrick Tomlinson for writing a tweet they didn’t like.

Here:

Mr Tomlinson told The Independent he hopes the arrest will allow police to work out who was paying Mr Filion and who else is behind Torswats. Investigators stated in court documents that they had traced a Discord account to a “privacy-friendly ‘virtual private network’ in Sweden”.

It's not the same thing.

edit and they aren't gamers and why hasn't this happened to all the game journos and so on.

I think you are correct here.

Remember it is NYAG James that is demanding legal documents from VDARE over and over again, for years on end, all without filing even one charge, all in a successful effort to bankrupt Peter Brimelow. All because Peter had the misfortune to register his foundation in New York.

Tucker recently interviewed Peter Brimelow, I highly recommend everyone watch it.

Because, at the risk of fedposting, the modern American is too fat and happy to make corrupt political figures swing from lamp posts.

Fun fact: this is the same bitch who filed the retarded lawsuit against Bad Orange President Man (TM) for "overvaluing" his home to secure loans with it as collateral, while she herself has done the same shit and more besides.

If Valve with Gaben alive EVER runs low of money, it'd be because of a disaster SO big, the people currently sueing them would be dead with billions of other people as Valve is safe in their secret apocalypse bunker.

I’m not sure since they generate millions a day in profits. They might be trying to scare them into compliance, dropping the Rothschild Retard case, or trying to save their political jobs (in the case of the New York AG.)
