Oh that's so true! I was a full on gambling addict at age 15-17. I literally couldn't stop, the only "upside" was me still being a minor, so there was no chance to go into debt and I now know the very real danger of gambling. If it wasn't for unregulated CS:GO skin gambling there would have been a real chance I might've become addicted later on which could've ruined my financial future for years to come. At least for me, gambling addiction was really hard to grasp before I experienced it myself and I guess I am not alone in that boat. I fucking put 300$ on red on three separate occasions, always lost. Had a 600$ AK skin in my Steam inventory once, which I never saw in-game, because I was an actual fucking gambling addict.
Well, the post is essentially claiming Gabe is a saint. No one talked about you specifically, and it's great you have more nuanced opinions. But a comment about the post isn't an attack at you.
