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.”

    I think you’re probably right. I still think it’s important to point out that this lawsuit, even if successful, won’t take down Valve. Steam and CS2 will still be around. If it is successful, it might force other platforms to change how they handle lootboxes too. Singling out Valve won’t mean that steam is down and we all need to use the Epic store. The flaws of this lawsuit and it’s motivations don’t mean that we need to excuse Valves bad behavior. You aren’t doing that here but many people feel the need to pick sides. We can call out the lawsuit for being largely a political stunt and call out Valve for profiting off of child gambling.
