The lawsuit aims to "stop Valve from promoting gambling features in its games, disgorge all ill-gotten gains, and pay fines for violating New York\u2019s laws."

The downvotes, the shameful, wrong downvotes.

Guess everyone who did so is wrong about everything.

    God I love downvoting people who complain about downvotes. I don’t even know why. It’s just incredibly funny to me for some reason.

    I love blocking people who are gleeful about being shitty. I know exactly why.

    You could have just chosen to not say dumb shit if you didn't want people to downvote you. But here we are.

    Dumb shit like not checking the usernames so you'd know the post in question was not mine? Hmm.

    Also that comment was 100% reasonable. Nobody has come up with a sensible criticism of it.

    See, no one has to check the username. The dumb shit was inside the post all along.

    Really weird how you're leaping to the defence of this person who thinks I was the one being downvoted. Aren't you here in support of ignoring everything said by anyone who says something dumb? The person above said something dumb, so you should be chucking the rest of what they say out, too.

    Of course, I didn't really expect consistency from someone like that.

    The downvotes are because this is an attack and steam and their rapid fan boys will do the needful to defend their favorite billionaire.

    Yep. As ever, all that matters are vibes. "Valve bad" = WRONG VIBES! Attacking someone who says "Valve bad" = GOOD VIBES! UPVOTE! Criticising the attack = BAD VIBES! DOWNVOTE!

    Doesn't matter whether it's bollocks.

    You know what's super funny about this? Your hatred for Valve is so god damned strong that your deep-fried head-circuitry can't process that something might not be about that. So, I'll spell it out in very simple terms.

    Stopping gambling in video games = Good

    Enabling people who can and have tried to censor and destroy the industry in the past = bad

    My hatred for valve? Where the fuck does that come from? I couldn't care less about them.

    Their billionaire owner on the other hand, can go on the burn pile with the rest of them. How he made the billions doesn't matter. I don't make exceptions when it comes to eat the rich.
