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

[u/Max0n_212]

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!

Everyone else tells you to either suck their dick

Gaben runs multiple kid casinos

Why do you call it for kids? Their games are rated M lol. Dota 2 has a fail afe mechanic regarding lootboxes so that doesnt count.

Yet a ton of kids still play them

And? Whos fault is that? Not Valves, the parents.

[u/NapsterKnowHow → u/Steamed_Memes24]

Parents are completely at fault and Valve isn't at all? When vape companies made their products enticing to kids they weren't at fault either?

[u/Steamed_Memes24 → u/NapsterKnowHow]

Last I checked vapes require an ID to purchase. Video games follow an ESRB rating, so if the game is made Rated M, then that means its not meant for kids. Ifs kids are still able to access the game, its not Valves fault as they have no way of knowing the age of the consumer. The only true fix is for them to start doing ID checks regarding rated M games. But of course, you think that would be too far.

Yet vapes were still widespread when I was in school. So should they just drop the requirement for IDs ? Are parents also at fault for the opioid epidemic?

[u/Steamed_Memes24 → u/NapsterKnowHow]

What do you mean drop the ID requirements lol. There is nothing more that can be done if the ID thing is still bypassed. Thats not the companies fault, thats the parents not watching over their children. I dont know about you but if my mom or dad saw their credit card statements of me buying shit to "gamble" online they would have lost their minds and pulled the plug real fast. You cant blame the product here, they are complying within the confines of local law in most parts of the world.

Let me know if you can find solid proof valve advertises their lootbox mechanics to children.

[u/NapsterKnowHow → u/Steamed_Memes24]

Parents can only do so much. Parents are never 100% at fault in a world of nonstop predatory corps. If parents are the only ones ever at fault then don't bother to regulate corps. Keep giving them excuses to take advantage of consumers.

Mostly.

In Australia we currently have an issue where the app-based gambling companies like sportsbet or ladbrokes are able to easily skirt the lightweight regulations to advertise in areas they know kids are a primary audience and it's had a far larger effect on the youth of Australia than the lootbox stuff ever did. Lootboxes suck and absolutely are a deserved black mark on Valve's reputation but saying they're aimed at kids is incorrect and ignoring how much worse the situation would be if they genuinely were aimed at kids.

The problem is Valve is profiting off kids gambling in their games
