I meant by major AAA studios. I also prefaced with "in the west" AND "one of the first," not the first. Not sure why you brought up China, despite the phrasing.
I didn't lie, you're just twisting my words and building a strawman argument to attack.
Why the white knighting for Valve? I actively play Valve games and even participate in buying the occasional lootboxes. That doesn't mean they don't profit massively off of children gambling. They're a multibillion dollar corporation and do not need your defence.
Criticism and observations != hatred.
I'm just trying to understand the seven degrees you had to follow to get from a Facebook post to valve.
...Because the conversation was literally about Valve? Wtf are you smoking lmao
