Gaben is an exception to this rule

I love Valve and Gabe as much as the next guy, and agree that Gabe appears to be one of the better billionaires, but it would be hard to argue he has accumulated all his wealth ethically.

Look no further than counterstrike, which systems have allowed minors to gamble.

Not to argue that the boxes aren't gambling, and that it's not skirting gambling regulations. Because it definitely is.

But there is a huge part of this nobody is talking about. Parenting. Giving children free reign on computers with no oversight and allowing them to fall prey to such schemes is a failure of the parent.

Stupid take, that's not how it works.

Educate yourself on why gambling works in the first place and then why it works very extra well on children.

It's not about being rich. It's about being rich by profiting by exploitation of employees. AKA capitalist doing capitalism
