    Every game company does not operate a gambling system that is the center for a literal whole ecosystem of predatory shady businesses. But that was a halfway decent try at a whataboutism argument /s.

    Yes that quote is at the heart of a Simpsons episode. And it’s about people using moral panic crusades as a means of enacting draconian measures of control based on a fear based in falsehood. Valve demonstrably engages in the practices I mentioned so I think your point kind of falls completely on its face. I am glad to see you recognize capitalism as inherently exploitative though.

      Making a more specific point after the fact doesn’t change the original point.

      whataboutism

      So busy trying to sound smart you proved you weren’t worth engaging with

        This reads like you took in all the words I wrote and then responded to them without actually understanding or comprehending any of the content.
