Agent_KaryoNew York sues Valve for 'letting children and adults illegally gamble' with loot boxes
The lawsuit aims to “stop Valve from promoting gambling features in its games, disgorge all ill-gotten gains, and pay fines for violating New York\u2019s laws.”
PissmidgetLove how they chose Valve specifically. I’d think it’d be better going after the companies making those games rather than a distributor.
Not really gonna discourage the game creators from making loot box mechanics.
Though I will say that I think any and everyone profiting from loot boxes should get fined wherever and whenever possible. I’d just start somewhere more impactful.
In a subsequent press release the attorney general’s office called out Counter-Strike 2, Team Fortress 2, and Dota 2 specifically.
I mean, these games are all made by Valve.
