Comment on New York sues Valve for enabling "illegal gambling" with loot boxes

I don’t care at all. When I play cs2, I get a new case and shit skin every week. I sell the case for a few euro cents and trade up the shit skins to rarer skins that I sell. I make money playing cs2.

If people are stupid enough to get caught up in gambling, it’s on them.

I deal with crack and I’m fine! It’s those damn addicts who are the problem.

It’s the same thing every time. Someone tries to stop a corporation from preying on vulnerable people and others jump to its defense because they “aren’t affected”. Have some empathy, man.

  Parenting? 14 year olds don’t have credit cards to my knowledge.

    I remember back in the old days, 3p gambling sites used to have 0 verification. You could deposit skins, each with their own attached real life value, to gamble for other skins. That way those sites could make double the money by fixing the prices skin had, and by gambling mechanics, without even needing a credit card

    You can start by selling in Steam items from other loot boxes to buy more loot boxes. As well purchase steam gift cards to put money in your account.

I care when shitty influencers get their bag by scamming children out of money. It shouldn’t JUST be valve involved in this BS lawsuit though.
