Yeah, at promoting child gambling. Not sure about games

They literally just shipped a massive update for a game they've been developing for several years (Deadlock) and are releasing more content for it this Friday

[not_a9 → CursedSilicon]

Do you think Deadlock will not devolve into a mixture of gambling and hvh like every Valve multiplayer game that’s been relevant in the last 10 years (except Dota because hvh in dota sounds complex, so it's just gambling there)?

Fortnite avoids this by having no gambling and by making hvh infeasible FYI

Fortnite's shop is is psychological abuse against children and to compare it to Valve's "gambling" is laughably carrying water

If a child has unsupervised internet and bank account access then its a parenting issue.

Every Valve game utilizing this is rated M. Control your children better instead of blaming others for being a bad parent. If you children have money to gamble and you let them play mature-rated games then you are doing it wrong.
