Pretty interesting that this is where Valve choose to flex their legal muscles. Here's some stats [0] from a UK Gambling Commission study from 6 years ago and I can't imagine they've gotten substantially better since then: - 45%[!] of 11-16 year-olds were aware of "skin betting" [using virtual game items with direct monetary value as tokens on gambling websites] - 11% of 11-16 year-olds had placed bets using in-game items - [...]around 370,000 11-16 year-olds spent their own money on gambling in the past week, in England, Scotland and Wales. Valve did send some C&Ds after the whole ProSyndicate, JoshOG non-disclosed gambling website controversy, then just... let it fester and continue. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Valve have made billions of dollars from indirectly helping very sketchy companies turn children into problem gamblers with no worries of KYC. Glad to see that paying expensive lawyers to draft C&Ds to shut down impressive fan projects like these are what they choose to channel those ill-gotten funds in to. I hope the people working there are proud of the what they've done, particularly to children and young adults' minds.
