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."

Valve wins against the Rothschilds

Okay, tap the breaks. Can you field a link on that one?

lootboxes being available for the past 10 or so years in Counter Strike and Team Fortress 2.

In a lot more games than that. EA, Ubisoft, and Activision/Blizzard have been dolling out lootboxes for at least as long. So targeting Valve exclusively definitely raises some eyebrows.

But I'm curious to know what this has to do with "the Rothschilds" and not an actual financial, business, or government entity.
