Actually I’m sad. I’m sad I’m having a conversation with someone who thinks they know more about the law than the New York Attorney general. I’ve lost, there’s no argument I could make that could get through the Dunning-Kruger.
That is an appeal to authority. Every one is susceptible to a mistake. And I believe this one is. I think the court will rule in favor of Valve if they don’t dismiss it. The way the economy works inside of Steam is what insulates it from being gambling. NY is arguing that being able to redeem your wallet for a Deck and then selling that deck, introduces the cash component of gambling. Not only that, but third party sellers are brought up and that adds several other layers that will be harder to make the case for. In addition, they claim Valve knowingly doesn’t care about the third party sellers. That, in and of itself, is not Valve’s problem specifically. If people want to pay money for a cosmetic item, it’s no different than Pokémon. Again, an insulating layer. That is a far cry from an open and shut case, as you seem to think it to be.
Multiple lawyers would point out that introducing steps to acquire cash insulates it. Especially since one of those steps is selling an item. This economy that they are trying to build out is shaky at best. But that’s just like, my opinion man. Do you have any of your own thoughts regarding the case? Have you read the case documents and come to a conclusion for yourself? Or are you just reading an article and calling it a day?
Why would I have my own thoughts about this matter? I’m not a lawyer. I’m not even going to pretend to have the competence to understand the legal nuances necessary to analyze this lawsuit. I’m a dumbass so I’m going rely on the expertise of actual experts and the AG isn’t going to file a suit on some easily dismissable grounds. So unless you can find someone credible backing up what you’re saying you’re just talking out of your ass.
Jeez dude, didn’t realize you weren’t interested in this case. If so, then why are you so passionate about something of which you know so little?
You are willing to put utter faith in articles and people rather than reading the case, looking into it, and coming to a conclusion? And then vehemently defending those opinions of of others. Why?
The fuck kind of an antivaxxer argument is this? If an health expert tells you get the vaccine do you also go “better come to my own conclusion”? Just because I don’t Dunning Kruger myself into believing I know enough about the subject matter to form an opinion doesn’t mean I’m not interested in the case.
No. Despite his knowledge and understanding of medicine, his claims are not credible because there are a lot of documented instances where he’s used his own medical authority for personal gain.
So if you want to go down that route, start proving that the NYAG is not credible.

Do you listen to Dr. Oz? He’s a surgeon. Practiced. Does that make his medical opinion gospel?
No. Despite his knowledge and understanding of medicine, his claims are not credible because there are a lot of documented instances where he’s used his own medical authority for personal gain.

Credibility does not imply infallibility.
Well you’re neither credible nor infallible so why should I even care about your opinion.
