    This. And the law about this was actually established by the sports cards companies decades ago in the USA. If you can’t give the item to the house for an immedate, fixed profit, it’s not gambling.

    Under law, not factored in. Sports cards companies got that carved out to avoid being labeled gambling back in the day. Loot boxes use those same exemptions.

    Under the law, being able to sell the cards in a second hand market has no consideration on if its gambling. In fact, the sports cards businesses back in the day fought to make sure that the value of the card secondhand wasn’t factored into what they were selling to avoid being called gambling. To LEGALLY be gambling

    Either that or the dad has been playing, finally got fed up with not getting the cards he wanted and is using the kid as an excuse to try to sue.

    Honestly the number is WAY higher using the FBI’s definition. FBI calls any shooting with 4 or more victims a “mass shooting”. TV at this point only seems to cover ones that get over 10 or so.

    I have friends who’ve done QA for TT in the past and I can tell you that they will happily tell you that whatever you found, they found months ago and got blown off.

    I’ll stand corrected, but they’re still not an authorized reseller of Steam keys according to Valve’s tiny list. And their CEO really dislikes steam,

    GMG and Humble are two that are authorized by Valve. I noted that somewhere else. Gamersgate doesn’t sell Steam keys. Hell, the head of that company DESPISES Steam.
    Also, did you REALLY give to a charity? Got a receipt? Humble give you any proof? That’s the problem with a for profit company saying they’re giving money

    “You really need to support your claims with actual facts.”
    Steam’s ToS for developers prevents them from complaining about it when it happens. Most often, you’ll see an article for a day or two then Valve gets it taken down with threats of legal action, saying it’s a violation of the NDA (honestly amazed the Polygon

    Valve also allows developers/publishers to generate and distribute keys for free.”
    “Authorized resellers don’t get keys from Valve. They get keys directly from developers and publishers. Valve allows this by allowing developers and publishers to generate and distribute Steam keys without giving any cut to Valve.”

    Polygon had an article with examples of most of it.

    Again, it’s been documented and not that hard to find. Tim Sweeney called it out early in the process of Epic setting up the EGS, but Polygon ran an article with pretty much every one of these complaints documented.

    Gonna need some actual data to prove that”

    There’s been a few devs since the coming of EGS that have proven just this. Where they tried to list the game on EGS for X and Steam for Y, to account for EGS taking a lower cut and them sharing emails from Steam going “Price match or we remove your listing”. It’s also documented that if your game isn’t selling

    Your points are even easier to refute:

    All of the “deviations from Tiny Tina’s script” make perfect sense as being ‘deviations’ of Tina’s own design. She’s a kid playing pretend, and engaging in meta-pretending, playing both sides of her own invented divide.”
    You could also take this a step farther and note that with the extreme amount of trauma Tina has

    No probably about it. It’s made very clear that he’s the one that taught her how to play, he’s the one that wrote the campaign where the Dragon Lord went evil, and the character we never really see (but hear often) the Notetaker, who’s voiced by Markus Lloyd, the same guy who voices Roland.

    It happens ALL the time, you just don’t know it. Gets even easier when the character isn’t the star. New Mortal Kombat movie wouldn’t need Johnny to be the main focus, allowing this casting to be fine, even if the Miz trips up.

    This is only partially true, Obama had 60 for only 4 months due to legal wrangling, illnesses and a death.
    Inauguration 2009, Dems had 57 Dem seats and 2 independents that tended to vote with them (Sanders and Lieberman). HOWEVER, of the 57, one was Al Franklin, that due to multiple recounts demanded by his challenger,

    What? I gotta check your ID and make sure you’re a real person before you take that game! Gotta make sure you stay in that line while I entertain you! Gotta make sure the displays respect the laws...of gravity!
    Honestly they used to just be basically crowd control when it started and expanded into more and just kept
