Helping the gaming community by popularising not owning your games, lootboxes and child gambling, early access and asset flips as well as being the first to cave when visa and MasterCard started pressuring companies to stop selling certain games?

Most games on steam are drm-free or have a very weak DRM which is easily removed. Not great, but not the worst.

Lootboxes kinda suck, but at least they only use them for cosmetic items, it's not pay2win, more like pay2lookgood.

About the child gambling... Pretty awful, but I think the ones who should bear most of the blame should be the parents. I have younger family members (not my kids) and their parents couldn't give less of a shit about ensuring they only have access to age appropriate content. Steam has parental controls implemented, USE THEM. Starting to think that allowing kids to access these features (when parental control is available) should be considered some kind of negligence.
