They are investigating every trail. That’s not incompetence…
Yeah they are legally required to. Of there is 40hrs of body cam footage, lawyers and prosecutors have to watch ALL of it
it's supposed to connect 'steam' with 'extremism' instead of something like Twitter, Truth, or Fox to coincide with their recent 'fact finding mission'
Absolutely, here is RFK on Sept 10 saying they cause mass shootings. (Completely ignoring the ENTIRE WORLD OUTSIDE THE US)

Also Congress has called for the leaders of discord, steam, Reddit and twitch to come and testify about extremism.
I don't see any of the social media heads who donated to Trump's inaugural on that list.
I wish we lived in a time before videogames when there were no political assassinations or mass shootings.
/s <-- do I even need this?
wouldnt those graphs look similar though, even if just by coincidence?
I bet he played violent video games, like Among Us
"It is a cruel, evil game that teaches decit and murder. That is why I don't let you play Clue, son."
That's a shitload of time in a game that has barely any content.
Games are about having a good time. If your idea of a good time is story and completionism, then sure, what a waste of time. Some people just want to vibe, role play, or socialize.
Also some people just leave launchers open and rack up ghost hours unintentionally.
Edit: I'm amused there's so many reasons for leaving the launcher open I didn't even think of. Personally, mine was just having a bad habit of playing Elite Dangerous until I fell asleep in the chair. Computer would go to sleep, I'd rack an extra ~16 hours before ei came back. Then I'd remember to check in the morning, cutting it down to like 7 extra hours. I probably have 100-200 racked up from before I got better sleep commitment. 2020 was an interesting time in which time itself didn't matter for a bit. Rounding 1100 hours now.
Now we know for certain that he is suffering from crazy
SoT is as much a chill game as it is competitive or grindy. I’ve probably spent a couple hundred hours in that game just fishing.
I mean if you go around trolling PVP you can get a lot of time from very little.
They’re trying to obtain chat logs and communications across any channels. Each game’s developer is probably going to get a subpoena to hand them over.
This isn’t surprising or stupid.
It supposed to help them find something that will allow them to convince us to let them do what they already decided they want to do.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
