People don't even want you to play a video game in private now.

"Gibbons cut in: "They're illegal. They are not in any way affiliated with Microsoft. Microsoft, for Minecraft, has gotten a lot of criticism because of those community servers not employing the same safety standards that Microsoft does on their Minecraft servers."

For real. I think it ended up being alright, but they sued Valve because of gambling in Counter Strike‽ Like, have they never heard of Overwatch‽

Meanwhile, "Epic" Games profits off of kids who sneak their parents' credit cards for whatever nonsense is going on in Fortnite, and Roblox is full of predators!

All of those, including Counter Strike, are preying on addiction and should either be illegal or at least regulated

True, but why are they only suing Valve? It's sus.
