I'm torn. Valve has been so good for Linux gaming. They made a handheld console that emphasizes real ownership and the right to repair. They generally make good decisions when it comes to things and while they do take a big cut of game sales, their platform has so many features it's crazy.
This gambling thing though really sucks. I get that they need to monetize, but I feel like they could get away with just selling skins, or having the loot boxes being a free daily play reward that drops things that could be sellable on the marketplace. No way to buy a box like this. Just earned for free through play.
They don't need to monetize.
Valve is already a stupidly profitable company.
