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’s laws."

Gotta love how they just randomly threw in that long-disproved little tidbit about violent videogames making kids into psychopaths. Way to discredit your whole stance.
People can be right about one thing and wrong about another at the same time. Do you have to be right about everything ever for one of your opinions to count?
They are related opinions. If I read some diet and exercise advice that includes how to remove the negative energy from my crystals then I’m not going to waste time seeing if the other advice is valid.
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 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.
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!
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.

If I’m gonna be sticking them together like this, yes.
By your own rules, you’ve invalidated your existence.
Nah
You do if you’re building a lawsuit based on those opinions…
Sure, but doesn’t help when you go out of your way to say something stupid.
Nothing discredits a health lifestyle advice more than being followed by a rant about vaccinees. Same here.
Yeah, I agree the whole “video games cause violence” thing is incredibly stupid.
I don’t think having a dumb opinion about something discredits your other opinions though. They should each be taken on their own merits.
You’ll have a hard time convincing someone to change their mind if you just write them off because one of their opinions is dumb.

I didn’t write them off, just said they wanted to reinforce their position with something dumb, which has the opposite effect.
This is not a quote of something they said some other time about other topic, this was on the and breath.
To be clear, fuck loot boxes, hope they are banned. That’s why it’s bad to shot yourself in the foot appearing either uninformed or actively lying.
Sorry, I meant you as in people in general, not you specifically.
The downvotes, the shameful, wrong downvotes.
Guess everyone who did so is wrong about everything.
edit: I responded to the wrong person, my bad
The downvotes are because this is an attack and steam and their rapid fan boys will do the needful to defend their favorite billionaire.

Doesn’t matter whether it’s bollocks.
And that’s not exactly what you’re doing in response to someone criticising the attack on Valve?
No, there are defences of Valve that are perfectly reasonable.
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.
It’s the same thing as stabbing a guy who says “what are you gonna do, stab me?”
Yeah. That is really fucking funny. You right.
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.
