The lawsuit aims to “stop Valve from promoting gambling features in its games, disgorge all ill-gotten gains, and pay fines for violating New York\u2019s laws.”

    Gotta love how they just randomly threw in that long-disproved little tidbit about violent videogames making kids into psychopaths. Way to discredit your whole stance.

      Way to discredit your whole stance.

      People can be right about one thing and wrong about another at the same time. Do you have to be right about everything ever for one of your opinions to count?

        Sure, but doesn’t help when you go out of your way to say something stupid.

        Nothing discredits a health lifestyle advice more than being followed by a rant about vaccinees. Same here.

          Yeah, I agree the whole “video games cause violence” thing is incredibly stupid.

          I don’t think having a dumb opinion about something discredits your other opinions though. They should each be taken on their own merits.

          You’ll have a hard time convincing someone to change their mind if you just write them off because one of their opinions is dumb.

            I didn’t write them off, just said they wanted to reinforce their position with something dumb, which has the opposite effect.

            This is not a quote of something they said some other time about other topic, this was on the and breath.

            To be clear, fuck loot boxes, hope they are banned. That’s why it’s bad to shot yourself in the foot appearing either uninformed or actively lying.

        The downvotes, the shameful, wrong downvotes.

        Guess everyone who did so is wrong about everything.

          God I love downvoting people who complain about downvotes. I don’t even know why. It’s just incredibly funny to me for some reason.
