Comment on New lawsuit wants Valve to repay "billions" earned from "illegal gambling" lootboxes in Counter-Strike, Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2

I mean, tbh Valve is the only company even doing them now
gestures furiously at the mountain of gacha games built around this exact mechanic on mobile
Yeah those won’t be affected by this in the slightest, the lawsuit here is reliant upon these lootbox items having real money value from people trading skins and hats for Valve’s games. Gacha games are irrelevant here.
Ubisoft is doing it too, Ghost Recon Wildlands still offers them.
