      Children should not be near those games. And it’s parents job to make sure of it.

        Oh, so you agree; Valve generally and Gabe specifically are mortally repugnant actors and should be criminally liable for their premeditated and deliberate targeting of minors.

          I agree that they started a machine that was unnecessary and it is repugnant; I still blame parents for any children involved.

          Never have I seen any minor targeting from Valve.

          No, Valve made M-rated games, it’s the parents’ responsibility to not have kids playing them.
          I know, they’re Parents, these unblamable entities, but here we are, sex has consequences.

            Valve bears a legal, ethical, and moral culpability for targeting minors specifically and with ill intent for decades.

            I bet you think cigarette companies are blameless because there’s an age requirement for tobacco, too.

            Look in the mirror, chud. Simping for billionaires is a bad look. It pollutes your soul.

              No, only legal. The other responsibilities are the parents’, which i bet you won’t consider culpable at all if their kids start to smoke.
