And casinos deserve a praise because you can win back some of the money you wasted.

Valve has one for the few lootbox systems that you can actually get value back out of outside the game. While they deserve all the same criticism of every lootbox game, they probably also deserve some praise for that.

The casino is honest about what they do compared to say Genshin Impact.

Genshin shows odds, Valve shows nothing.
Genshin directly shows you the stuff, Valve has a slot machine like animation.
I have students who play both Genshin and CS2 and spending money them. In Genshin they spend to get a character they want, in cs2 is to try to make money…
And casinos can hardly be honest given the couple of time I read about cases in which a customer wins at slot machine and casino claims it was faulty.

That’s like giving a drug dealer praise for not selling the harder drugs.
Valve doesn’t deserve praise for being slightly less shitty when they’re doing one the shittiest things in gaming.

No it’s like praising a dealer that will buy back some drugs as well as sell them.

If you want to get specific it’s not praising the dealer for buying back the drugs. It’s praising the drug dealer for allowing the customers to sell those drugs to others while taking a small cut from every sale. But they still shouldn’t get any praise because they shouldn’t be doing that in the first place.
