Yes, but those adults are responsible for themselves.
You’re paiting this thread like valve is good and we are asking valve to do more good by doing job of the parents while in reality we want valve to stop doing evil that valve does.
No, not at all. I just don’t think that offering a marketplace that is abused by a massive third party gambling industry is “evil”. The marketplace in general is a cool feature imo and I see no reason to remove it. As soon as you introduce rarity, you will have a certain value attached to those items. It’s a lot like playing an MMO - if you have a rare drop, you can sell that shit on ebay for actual money. Removing the entire concept of value from skins is honestly pretty stupid. And all because you want to “protect the children” and people with no impulse control.
In short: You want to take a feature away because some people abuse it and potentially harm people, and I just don’t think that’s right.
And yet you will insist that you are not defending a corporation. The delusion is crazy.
It’s not about defending valve, it’s about me not wanting people like you to remove good features from platforms.
