That's exactly the kind of libertarian "personal responsibility" philosophy that Valve would use as an excuse to justify themselves. You don't need to be carrying water for a multi billion dollar company, they can take care of that themselves. Unless you work for Valve. I don't know, I'm sure it pays well.
"Because make no mistake, Valve is an amazingly talented game industry icon. And they've also very intentionally crafted a highly addictive slot machine system... in a game that's free to play that has no enforceable age limit."
(Interviewer) "Has gambling led to a greater interest in Counterstrike?" (Valve) "We don't know. We don't have any data to support that."
(CS Player) "I got a bunch of other kids to kick in $50. It was really fun when we won, and then it was all gone very quickly." ... (Ex-Valve employee) "It's a very libertarian place. Valve doesn't want to say what can and can't happen on Steam."
