  Steam itself still asked your age before verifying any purchase. This is a parenting problem

  Which can’t be purchased with steam points. What’s your point?

  They aren’t supporting children gambling. They ask you your age before you buy these games and before you put in any payment information into steam. It’s not verified with an ID or anything but that is a whole nother can of worms in computing that will open up a box. We do not want to open for our privacy rights.

  The solution here is more parenting. The solution here is to go after gambling culture as a whole. The solution here is to take down polymarket. The solution here is to not make it so the gambling is the main fucking commercial during our super bowl halftime.

  The thing you’re all fucking missing is no you can’t sell the in-game items for real money through the service. Steam money isn’t real money. It can’t go back into a normal economy. You always have to sell your inventory through a third party.

  This whole lawsuit this whole thing is to try to get age verification checks through steam to lock down our privacy rights. You’re all fucking blind

  This isn’t a defense of lootbox mechanics. This is a defense of their company from this lawsuit. Don’t fall for this propaganda
