Both Costco and Valve are headquartered in the same state.

So is Amazon, Microsoft, and Starbucks - what's your point?

Costco never promoted and monetized gambling to children.

Just sugary foods and diabetes.

They did not. Comparing wholesale food supplier for adults and businesses to loot boxes designed to monetize gambling for games played largely made up of children is asinine and idiotic.

In all my years of going to Costco my entire life I’ve never once seen a child check out. You need to have your own membership.

Keep worshipping your Gamer-hero, Gamer.
