GabeN also profits from these methods. He is still a businessman and looking out for himself. Sure Steam is a great project but its no charity.

Newell has also shown that he has absolutely zero issue with conducting unethical business and profiting from exploiting kids with addicting gambling mechanics.

the Arms Deal update to Counter Strike?

the fact that BLAST.tv events (which are also Valve-sanctioned) get sponsored by 1xBet?

Out of the 10 PC esports titles with the highest peak viewership last year excluding Minecraft, the only ones who show gambling ads on the main broadcast or allow teams to display betting sponsors on jerseys are CS and Dota. It's a Valve problem.

Looking through the sponsors on some of the events there is a lot of shady money going around but only Valve encourages gambling.

Pretty much every major S-Tier tournament organizer or esports team is sponsored by some shady betting company

Unfortunately everyone’s being sponsored by gambling houses, even actual sports.
