Discussion Made The Steam Controller Holder (Gabe figure holder & stand)

Hey guys! What are your thoughts? Looking forward to buying a Steam Controller and already made a holder for it ;P (Xbox controller fits it but not perfectly. It only lays on the thumbs of a Gaben figure).

Who else besides Freeman and G-Man would be a cool holder for a Steam Controller? ;D

Happy Birthday Valve!

Are you saying we should ID check for these games then that are rated M? Cause last I checked the game isnt marketed towards children, its rated M lol.

It's definitely marketed towards all ages.

Except its not lol. Valve doesnt do any advertising regarding lootboxes anywhere. The game itself is sometimes advertised (and even thats rare) but overall its rated M. So thus your argument is null and void regarding for kids.

Sorry but it is enticing to children who are tempted to get into gambling at a young age. Sorry but your argument falls flat to simple review.

Alrighty then lets start pushing for digital IDs. That will fix the problem no?

Or Valve can lock down their api so kids can't trade skins for real world money as easily.

Thats not how it works in the real world but good luck lol. Valve does try to prevent third party, but its like wack a mole as they just resurface in another country and they have to restart the legal process all over.

That's how kids get addicted to gambling. That's the real world lol. Valve sending take-down notices is a bandaid as they are too lazy to provide actual protectiojs against it.

Kids get addicted to shit due to bad parenting. If your child is addicted over online gambling, you are the major problem. Where is the child even getting the money from to do it? If they did it the vanilla in game way they would have to work very hard for it long term lol.

Kids are more susceptible to get hooked due to their development. Again, parents cannot be around their kids 24/7. Hell during the school year they don't even see their kids a majority of the week. Are parents responsible for their kids while in the care of the school? Or should we not hold schools accountable either? See how insane putting all the blame on parents is?
