    It’s because Epic Games is spending a shitload of money astroturfing these idiots into believing that Valve is personally running a massive counter strike casino and you need to THINK OF THE CHIILLLLDREEEEEEEN.

      Which is ironic because fortnite is specifically tailored to children/teens and has had lootboxes until they got sued, had to remove it and were like: “Oh actually we always though lootboxes were stupid :( so we removed them :( pls like us :(.”

      Now they’re probably trying to harm valve this way, which is dumb because counter strike is rated 18+.

      And yeeees, no kid gives a shit about age rating - well aware of that. But I’m not sueing porn sites because kids can access porn with just clicking “Yes” on the popup.

        I like lootboxes, if they’re done the way Heroes of the Storm does them.

        You can’t buy them with real money, you can only get by playing the game, they can contain any random item from the game’s cash shop, and if you want to just buy the item outright instead of hoping it drops in a loot box…

      Aren’t the kids mostly playing Fortnite and not Counter Strike? Doesn’t Fortnite outright advertise to children, have FOMO practices design to keep people addicted and spending money, and promote gun violence.

      Well we need to see Valve in court over this how dare they make, host, and promote Fortnite!

      Wait… Valve doesn’t make, promote or host Fortnite…
