A week ago, New York’s attorney general Letitia James announced the state of New York intended to sue Valve over its implementation of loot boxes in Counter Strike 2 and Dota 2. It’s her belief both children and adults are exposed to “illegal gambling” – comparing the loot box features to slot machines, and Valve to a casino.
This is an interesting topic that raises important questions about the implications for both Valve and its players. It’s always insightful to see how legal matters can impact the gaming industry and its community. Looking forward to hearing more about the lawyer’s perspective!
