    I’m not arguing none of this matters.

    This is what I’m arguing: if Valve had control of the gaming industry, which it doesn’t yet but might later, it would matter so little that we’d need no public policy to address it. Anyone who isn’t in the industry needn’t concern themselves about it.

      This is some pretty interesting mental gymnastics and I’m kind of tired of spending my weekend unpacking it. Have a good one.

        Dude, come on. I can only do this over the weekend. I work on week days, and end up too tired to mess with people’s heads then. Please come back, this party is just getting started. Also, what could be more fun than having useless heated discussions with complete strangers that you’ll likely never meet over the internet, and at the same time riling up some oversensitive fuckers? Unless you’re going to have sex now, the, go with my blessing brother.
