PC Gaming

They should sue Epic Games because Fortnite greatly popularized loot boxes and Microtransactions. Also other games which are the real culprit such as Overwatch, League of Legends, and more. Though granted Valve did make CSGO which was one of the first big games to popularize buying and selling video game skins. But of course lots of other games do it much worse like Gatcha games and mobile games.

Lotta billionaire sucking in this thread. Just because you like his platform doesn't make GabeN a good person.

Everyone say it: There's no such thing as an ethical billionaire.

Reminder: this was Epstein's idea.

A good few years ago now, I watched as my two cousins, Steam voucher in hand (and he didn't even have a gaming PC btw), faffed about with one of those sites promoted by shady Youtubers.

Codes went in. Buttons were pressed. Glances were exchanged.

"Now what?" asked the younger one who's Steam voucher it was.

"Oh nothing," said the older one. "You lost."

I think it was only teenage emoism that stopped him bursting into tears right there.

He's an accountant now, so I assume he learned an important lesson about gambling that day.

Valve doesn't make the games. You'll need to take this up with the game developers. They're the ones who inserted the "surprise mechanics" into the game.

Finally someone standing upto Valve for the right reasons.

They're not wrong, it is gambling.

country finally starts cracking down on gambling

oh no wait nevermind they just want to sue a videogame company

Finally a lawsuit against valve I can support.

Interesting how this just happens after Valve wins against the Rothschilds in court, despite the lootboxes being available for the past 10 or so years in Counter Strike and Team Fortress 2.
