Why are underagefags allowed to gamble on Valve's services and ones they support?

Shouldn't Steam get shut down for this

Steam has to whitelist sites that use the "Log in with Steam" function.

Cool thread OP. No really. Great thread. I hope it works out for you.

>>343851708
I don't think that's even remotely true. I've signed into sites with Steam so minor that I'd be shocked if Valve took the effort to approve them

Because their parents allow them to spend money unchecked.
>Shouldn't Steam get shut down for this
Knowing the force that is "dumb parents blaming others for their shortcomings", it might just happen.

If you choose to pump money into faux currency, then use the faux currency to buy faux gun designs, you deserve a faux sense of satisfaction/gain.
faux is a cool lookin' word

Why do parents even give their kids fucking credit cards to begin. It their fucking fault. Just drive you lazy ass to a store and buy the darn steam redeem wallet cards.
>>
>>343853125
are they going to jail? or is this just going to be forgotten about in 3 days from now
>>
>>343853173
I think if a casino let my wife's son in and play texas holdem despite him being underage, that would make the casino pretty liable
>>
>>343853612
They probably won't get jail-time unfortunately. But their channels are going down in flames so they might end up losing their jobs at the very least.

Stupid virtue signaling hypocrite.
>>
>>343850181
There's a layer of obfuscation because skins aren't technically worth real money (i.e. there's no official exchange).

Kind of like pachislot shit in Japan.

Also no one with the power to enforce or legislate cares because

>>343853173
I don't think Valve's crate is gambling though. Crates are more in line with booster pack trading cards.

When you buy a pack of trading cards, your guaranteed a certain amount of cards. You go in knowing your getting cardboard. You will always get something. It is a legally binding agreement that you are exchanging your money for a set of items, even if they are shit right?

Same thing with crates. You are spending money knowing that you will get virtual items, even if they aren't rare or valuable. Gambling is when you put up something of monetary value and HOPE you get something because chances are that you will get nothing.
>>
>>343854010
>he doesn't have hundreds of monetized videos making money off scumbag jewgle and advertisers
>>
>>343850181
It's a legal loop hole, skins and crap aren't technically worth any money, so there's no law against gambling them.
>>

That goes back to the whole

We are saying it shouldn't be illegal.

Can you cash in these skins and cosmetics for real cash that you can take off of steam? And can you do this through Steam only, without any third party trading bots or websites?
>>
>>343854097
That's a pretty good way to put it.

Parents can be so dumb.
>>
>>343854627
Some incredibly expensive skins are paid for via PayPal.
>>
>>343854834

And is there away for Valve to transfer your steam funbucks to paypal directly? Or is it all third party?

How's it feel to be under 5 foot underfag.

Because they dont. as others have said this is done by 3rd party but more than anything is that this isnt gambling because you cannot collect real world money. as far as valve is concerned if you are old enough to own the account you are old enough to trade.
>>

kys fuck off fucker, I will rip your ass out of your head, fuck you 182 piece of shit. I will rape you. anyone under 6'5 is a fucking manlet who deserves to be sluaghted

Can anyone explain how the defendants have a right to complain?

Unless they're parents bought them it or they lied during to get to the store page. CS:GO is behind a lightwall of "click to confirm you are above 18 years of age". ((ESRP of "M"))

Congrats defendants, you already lost the case because you're shitty parents.

FUCKING STOP REEE
>>
>>343855790
>Can anyone explain how the defendants have a right to complain?
They don't.
They're parents who think that giving their kids credit card information for them to do as they please with is a good idea because mobile games do it.

But if I'm not mistaken, apple reported having to pay people back in the 100-millions of dollars because "purchasing things in apps was too easy"

This is the same country that puts "hot" warnings on freshly-brewed coffee cups.

This. these parents dont even realize that the items and money in question is locked on a steam account mostly in the form of keys and skins
>>
>>343856553

Valve made it much harder to sell and buy stuff, didnt they?
>>
>>343856746
Disney ideals, modern socializing (using technology in place of real conversation), government write-offs/incentives for having kids means people will simply have kids just to get welfare.

Idk what the root of it is, but some parents I know are just fucking awful. What's worse is that they have like 4 kids and talk about having a 5th.

Anyone that defends scumbags like those two are just as bad as them.

I'm no liberal dipshit or anything but what those fuckers did is despicable and they should get their asses fined or in jail for what they did.

Now Valve is not 100% guilty could probably face a hard time in court. In the end I think they need to make sure the skins can't be monetized and actively ban people who partake in said monetization.

It's like Pachinko, it's technically not gambling.

>>343852607

Valve is doing nothing illegal.

And trading nebulous products with imaginary dollar values set by nothing more than community desire for sexy skins is no different than trading your friend pokemon cards.

It's not really Valve's fault if a 3rd party site uses in game skins for gambling.

Bear in mind when I say this, I hate e-sport rubbish, appealing to the lowest common denominator, twitchbait games which serve as nothing more than containment areas for the gaming community's absolute worst cancer.

But you can't blame Valve for the actions of others.

It's another

Thread

This shit has been going on for a while m8, I guess if you want to fuck someone over for exploiting dumbass kids into using their parents money you might wanna shut down mobile games and all that other bullshit while you're at it.
>>
>>343860353
It isn't, but they did create and operate the framework these sites then use, so a court could hold them accountable since Valve has taken absolutely no action to prevent it, which is true
