Valve Being Sued for Running Illegal Gambling via CSGO Crates - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Slender|Man|;50594343][IMG]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N6xFe3pv2xA/VZJ0pnlPYCI/AAAAAAAAAFk/Rdg_9C5xnW4/s640/Screenshot_7.jpg[/IMG] You have to accept (Steam EULA) that you are age of 13+ when installing Steam to play... but gambling age is 18+ hmmm. However, [URL="http://counterstrike.wikia.com/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive"]CSGO[/URL] is PEGI:18 and/or ESBR:M for Mature. As an adult, I'm sure you should be responsible for your own actions; such as linking your own Steam account to 3rd party websites which Valve is not affiliated with. It is one of those situations where drivers have 100% fault on crashing their own car for drunk driving and in the end sues the car dealer. :v:[/QUOTE] I agree in part, however game ratings are only orientative and do not make it illegal for minors to play the games, but to buy them.

Title needs changed because it's awful [editline]25th June 2016[/editline] Also don't pretend valve only does this. Their economist works at this, and meanwhile they're working on source 2, VR, steam, etc and leaks of l4d3 and hl3. The portal hats were for the co op mode. To say they sit around and take money is ignorant. The CSGO/tf2/Dota economy is more like a constant stream of funding for their projects like the Vive and source 2. They specifically hired a Greek economist to handle this stuff so they don't have to, long ago.[/QUOTE] They hired yanis varoufakis, a very good economist.

Yeah, Varoufakis hasn't been with Valve for a long time.

[QUOTE=Map in a box;50592840] no, they inactively allow it what the fuck they don't go on every site and monitor whats done on them, they don't give two shits how their api is used; many illegal sites use facebook likes does that mean facebook should be sued and shut down? [editline]25th June 2016[/editline] you can't go use something, commit a crime with the thing, and blame the person who made it lol, thats hideous.[/QUOTE] Are we talking about criminal or civil blame? Valve can absolutely be liable if they are knowingly allowing illegal activity to occur through their service without any activity for them trying to stop it.
