New Zealand (Māori: Aotearoa [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It consists of two main landmasses—the North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui) and the South Island (Te Waipounamu)—and over 700 smaller islands.

Wait, why do we hate Gabe?

[–] berg@lemm.ee 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's 4chan? What do you expect

[–] nottheengineer@feddit.de 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Running an unlicensed online casino aimed at children and supporting a network of other unlicensed online casinos aimed at children.

But other than that I'd say he's hard to hate.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did he? Because I got to say that's news to me.

[–] mercury@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah csgo, TF2, and dota lootboxes

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

That isn't anything to do with valve though is it.

The CS Go gambling thing was being done off-site by a 3rd party, Gabe Newell/Valve were never involved. I have no idea what about TF2 you are relating to because that's an ancient game and you provide no context. And dota loot boxes are also nothing to do with valve

[–] SON_OF_SUNS@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The point is that the entire system of 'crate that needs to be unlocked with a key for a random reward' is in itself already a form of gambling, especially as the various rewards have a value through the steam marketplace.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But not run by Valve.

My question is why does green text seem to think that Gabe Newell (in particular) is some kind of Uber black market gambling criminal.

[–] nottheengineer@feddit.de 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Of course its run by valve, who else do you think would run it?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What's run by valve?

The third party gambling site?

[–] nottheengineer@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The paid loot boxes and skins with actual cash value that are integrated into CSGO and TF2. You can gamble inside the game without any third party tools and get your cashout as steam wallet funds or use a third party website to cash out for money.

Yes, one post means that literally everyone in this agrees

[–] Jmr@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

I read it as "big deck energy"... It sounded anyway right

[–] extant@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I think it's emergency, he's asking for big dick.

[–] Photographer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do you have a problem with the neighbours always mocking your deck? Or do you envy your neighbours deck?

[–] Zeth0s@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

My steam deck? I only get compliments for my steam deck. Much bigger and powerful than those tiny Nintendo switches

[–] Photographer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Do you let children play with your deck? Or do you have a problem keeping children off your deck?

[–] a1_15@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

ayo, Gabe is a Windows user!? :D
