Oh, so you agree; Valve generally and Gabe specifically are mortally repugnant actors and should be criminally liable for their premeditated and deliberate targeting of minors.

No, Valve made M-rated games, it's the parents' responsibility to not have kids playing them.
I know, they're Parents, these unblamable entities, but here we are, sex has consequences.

Valve bears a legal, ethical, and moral culpability for targeting minors specifically and with ill intent for decades.

I bet you think cigarette companies are blameless because there's an age requirement for tobacco, too.

Look in the mirror, chud. Simping for billionaires is a bad look. It pollutes your soul.

No, only legal. The other responsibilities are the parents', which i bet you won't consider culpable at all if their kids start to smoke.

I agree that they started a machine that was unnecessary and it is repugnant; I still blame parents for any children involved.

Never have I seen any minor targeting from Valve.
