Most games on steam are drm-free or have a very weak DRM which is easily removed.
Blatantly false. Take a glance at all the novice/low budget devs who tightly couple their game to Steam’s proprietary multiplayer api.
Lootboxes kinda suck, but at least they only use them for cosmetic items
That doesn’t mean they weren’t trailblazers for one of the most parasitic features of the 21st century.
Steam has parental controls implemented
The controls don’t even work for this. Even if you scrutinize every game before white listing, the devs can patch in loot boxes (or any toxic mechanic) at any time without your knowledge.
And putting that aside, “bad parenting” is such a shit cop out when Steam’s main page is devoted to high revenue [toxic] games. This is like blaming parents when cigarette companies made ads specifically appealing to children, as if the inability to legally buy their product absolves them from the damage done.
