    Maybe just maybe it’s because it’s not as black or white as you make it seem? Especially talking about a company that did so much for Linux and looking at what their competition is doing…

      So it’s ok for you to have 10 years old developing a gambling habit and potentially ruining their live, because hey they are pushing Linux in gaming?

        I feel like you’re straw-manning here.

        I never said it’s okay. All I’m saying is that a mega-corporation can simultaneously exploit psychological loopholes for profit (loot boxes) while actively pushing open-source ecosystems (Linux), providing great value to consumers and fighting other pc gaming monopolies (Microsoft). Look at the whole picture.

          Do you consider that it is morally acceptable to push thousands of kids into gambling addiction because you are doing more than Microsoft for Linux in the gaming world?

            So you’re saying that since a company is reprehensible in one area, all their other accomplishments should be judged accordingly?

            Makes sense to me.

                I don’t like your attitude. I’m agreeing with you that it is not morally acceptable , and an actor should be judged by the worst of what they’re currently doing, not just sweep it under the rug.

                  Thank you. Yeah, I can be pretty confrontational sometimes.

                  I wish you a nice day. See you around!
