I often see gambling ads on my local TV channels that are from the government basically saying if you’re going to gamble at least gamble on stuff we profit from instead of giving your money to an out of country company. Is it fair to say it’s the same for valve doing good work with bad money that people would have spent gambling anyways? Idk i’m connecting the two but they might just both be bad XD
I don’t think so. It’s unlikely, but not implausible. I don’t think ICE have a list of “don’t arrest” people, and not everyone knows what every CEO looks like. They might run into him randomly and just act on it.
I don’t think Satya Nadal is going out in public like regular people, but it could still happen.
It’s another form of kissing the ring. They know it’s bad for business but there’s the implied threat that if they retaliate the FCC will grind the company to a hault.
So it’s a way of reminding them of their loyalty and extending the president’s influence beyond it’s legal limits, very common tactic during the 1940’s of a particular country’s history.
Anytime I’ve ever complained about lootboxes/gacha/gambling mechanics, I’ve not been excluding valve. That said, there is a contingent of people that likes to chime in to conversations about steam to say people shouldn’t use steam because valve does lootboxes, and I don’t think it’s terribly relevant in those conversations.
Can you imagine if MS did say something, and Trump immediately decided to replace all their products in government with Apple alternatives? You know he would.
Gates is on it for sure, i believe melinda split over something similar. and his shitck of trying to reinvent his own image, so the epstein files dont bite him in the end. his vaccine iniative is nothing more than scheme, since african countries has considered the vaccine as part of vaccine colonialism.
