It turns out that things are complicated, and that a company that is pro consumer in so many ways that almost nothing else is can get praised for that and denigrated for doing predatory loot boxes.

And that a billionaire owner can get praised for maintaining a pro consumer company and denigrated for running a loot box racket and buying yachts. All at the same time.

It's so exhausting how people like you have to go on every thread and complain that people are happy about something instead of mad about everything, energy single time the company comes up.

sigh

You’re really going out of your way to baby face the corporation that would fuck and sell your kids if it made them a buck. It’s one of the sickest things about Americans, Their NEED to love and defend billionaires and brands. It’s demented. Gabe could be in the Epstein files and you would go all Megyn Kelly and defend him.

There’s nothing complicated about it, steam is a corporation out to milk you out of your money and so is Gabe.

Either you didn't read what I said originally, didn't understand it, or are just a sad troll at this point. I recommend touching grass
