    Do you listen to Dr. Oz? He’s a surgeon. Practiced. Does that make his medical opinion gospel?

      No. Despite his knowledge and understanding of medicine, his claims are not credible because there are a lot of documented instances where he’s used his own medical authority for personal gain.

      So if you want to go down that route, start proving that the NYAG is not credible.

          Well you’re neither credible nor infallible so why should I even care about your opinion.

            Y-yes. So, you should read the case for yourself, so you can make an estimation. The case is a rough outline of how the State is going to attack. You can then, try your best to think of any legal explanation against it. Then judge for yourself if Valve is in the wrong. But I already said that and I feel the looping starting. whoaaaaaa

              Yeah, the loop is starting again because you clearly don’t see what is wrong with the “don’t listen to the expert, do your own research” argument. Fucking genius conversation. You, without a law degree, arguing with me, without a law degree, about a very specific legal gray area like we know what the fuck we’re talking about. No, it’s stupid which is why I’m refusing to partake in it. I’m not going to act like I know how to make a legal argument which is why I’m pointing at someone who is supposed to know what the fuck they’re talking about. I don’t get why you want to drag this conversation into something neither of are even remotely qualified to talk about.

                Why are you acting like legal arguments are so convoluted? They’re usually straightforward and boring. Because they have to be. You’re just choosing to not put in effort and instead look at articles. If you want James’ actual opinion, read the case.

                  Dunning Kruger in full effect. “How hard could this thing be that takes years to work through by 6 figure professionals? I can totally make those arguments myself.”

                  And just for your information, I have read the complaint in full. It’s another example of you just assuming you know things.

                    Okay, since you’ve read it, how do you think the Section I-22,23 relate to Steam specifically? I’m asking you to read those words and try to understand them and make a judgement.

                    I personally feel like Section II is a typical case layout. But I find it strange about the equivalence made in that Section. Your thoughts?

                    Do you think that Section III is demonstrating a system in which you are presented the opportunity to gamble? I’ll be honest, James’ makes a good case. But that doesn’t matter because 1999 NY v. Nintendo of America had the same groundwork and was dismissed. The issue came into the case that, Pokémon cards did not carry any inherent value, unless you went to a third party and that third party offered money. Thus, insulating Nintendo from a closed loop system. Let’s keep going!

                    Section IV-A-78 seems to me as a stretch to close the loop. It’s the same argument I’ve aforementioned. But my question for you is, when does the system close in this case? And do you think (87) is a fair comparison? At what point does the proof of an economy constitute gambling? Do we need to go after all blind boxes? Your thoughts, since you’ve read the case?

                    Section IV-A-89, at what point is it Valve’s responsibility to go after third party sites who are doing what people do in the real world? Attaching monetary value to cosmetic items in video games, I mean. Do you think the SSA obligates them to? What are the chilling effects of that? I feel like that could give corporations a lot of power, and I don’t like that.

                    The listing of selected enforcement opens James’ case to a lot of attacks. I think it’s a failure on her part, as it will weaken the case in front of a judge if Valve’s lawyers just immediately rip it to shreds.

                    Section V just feels like TCG all over again.

                    Now the danger to children, again, if we go with this being a danger to children, then ALL TCGs are a danger to children. They open packs looking for rares, right? Same concept. But how are children getting that much access to money? That’s starting to sound like a parent problem. Who is letting their kids spend hundreds of dollars? Like, that’s just bad parenting.

                    The Causes won’t hold water. They’re not air tight and are very vulnerable to attacks. But hey, I’m just an idiot, right? Just another Dunning-Kruger dingbat? Which is just hilarious that you keep bringing it up, misunderstanding the actual study and flaws of it. What would you say that is?
