i’m just saying, i can think of a lot worse things a company can do. Amazon, notably. Most countries without substantial labor protection laws, probably also rank worse. Countries currently at war, or controlled by gang violence, probably also worse.
The prison industrial complex, that’s pretty bad. Spending money because you’re mentally incapable of processing how spending money in that fashion is bad, yeah probably possibly to be worse than that.
Have you watched cofeezilla? The industry already has armed mafia structures.
Sure there is always worse, but you don’t have to like B because of what A did.
steam does not, but the economy, that they are center of has. Operators of online skin casinos are adopting mafia tactics. You could say “oh, that is just some fringe groups at the outside”, but these actors are deeply embedded with streamers, competitive events and the entire culture.
yeah that’s pretty typical of any sort of “tradeable currency” digital or not, these sites are all hosted in countries with favorable laws, and in places where it’s hard to regulate them.
There’s shitty people on the internet, should we personally vet and maintain every single user of the internet, or should we just be “moderate” about it. The question of the ages, how much do we actually care about this specific problem.
Look, I agree, that they do many good things for consumer protection. They blocked NFT in games and in game advertisement, but they sit at the center of a damaging marketplace and could stop it, but don’t and deserve criticism for that.
and it is fair criticism, i have no problem with that. I’m just not sure it’s worth demonizing them over. A lot of companies, even good ones, have bad practices, it’s just the way the world works, it’s hard to do everything absolutely perfectly.
Again, not trying to justify it, i’m just saying there’s a level of expectation i think you need to set.
