> supports a gigantic predatory underage gambling market

Last year Valve updated their code of conduct and effectively banned gambling. They've also been known to send cease-and-desist orders to various CS:GO gambling sites.

So I wouldn't say that they support it, though for much time they weren't actively combating it either.

You could say “support a virtual market with insufficient controls” and be more truthful and engender a more productive discussion. They’ve come down pretty heavily on the gambling side, no?
