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

  I want all of them to be punished. Every loot box mechanic game on mobile too. Every EA/Activision/Ubisoft game.

  Any game where you can buy a mystery box (or in TF2 terms, a key to open crates) directly with cash is part of the problem.

    If this succeeds, loot boxes vanish almost overnight, right? Bring it on.

  If this is considered gambling, then it logically follows that sports card, and CCG packs for things like Pokemon and Magic must be gambling too.
