Every poker software that has ever existed has had a huge swath of people claiming it's clearly rigged and not random. Is your conclusion from that fact that every last one of them is rigged?

Perhaps a shitload of people are simply wrong, because humans have incredibly selective memory that biases us and we're terrible at knowing what randomness even looks like because the brain is designed to look for patterns
