don't know if you're sarcastic. However, just because a company makes money, doesn't mean value is created. Like when you win in poker against someone, you're making money but not creating value.
I mostly agree with your point, but it has to be said that poker players are creating entertainment value for each other. Even if the cash portion of the game is zero or even negative sum.
I am not who you were responding to, but I think playing poker would create entertainment (even for the loser) which could be considered something of value.
