that you'd just have to verify into regularly

My thinking is to build a chat client, and also host a general chat server

but offer a free and open source server users can use in parallel to the default main server (that I'd be running)

to the end user, he won't know the difference looking at the list of "servers" he's subscribed to

that makes you the point of failure

the way I'd make money is by offering a "premium" version of the client

that's what discord already is

that's what any thing "in the cloud" already is

'the cloud' is synonymous with 'hosting it inside the CIA'

@Lorenzo are you talking about ebets?

im not sure it's fair to ban things like buying a loot box

people should be allowed to gamble if they want to

Not children

this is where i point out that cs:go is literally a M rated game

Don't sign if you don't agree

dont ask the government to take over parenting

(pls)

interestingly enough, the japanese government has set forth some pretty hefty regulations on games that do the random roll loot box/gacha style systems

im curious as to how familiar you are with exactly how gambling happens in csgo

i've only seen videos on it, I don't play myself.

ok

so the enabling factor on valve's end is literally the simple ability to trade skins with other players

you can trade/gift cool jpegs with other steam users

every other piece of this vile evil you want to regulate is 3rd party and valve has no control over it

though i am assuming you're bandwagoning against things like csgodiamonds/ebets and not just loot crates in general

I haven't signed it, I'm only giving it out because I know some people have trouble with it.

if my assumption is bad, i apollogise

i'm not looking for a debate on this.

of course you arent

you found a witch, and its time to light a pyre

I fail to see what you're getting at. I haven't signed the petition.

so, you arent promoting the petition?

For those interested sure.

As I said, if you don't agree, don't sign it.

you dont find it at all disingenuous to promote government action on a topic you admittedly are ill informed on?

I'll delete it if it bothers you this much.

I just found it interesting. I'm not ill informed, I have seen videos on the subject.

its not the content itself that bothers me

its hard to put into words

idk man, you do you
