I don't recall suggesting Valve getting a free pass, nor downplaying the CS skin market being an issue. What I'm saying is Valve at least turns that money to some good, unlike its contemporaries in the veiled gambling space.
Saying "don't go after Valve (right now), instead go after these other bad companies I won't name" isn't giving a free pass to Valve? My bad.
And let's not act like Valve isn't raking in money. They don't need gambling money to do good.
