Valve has moved to dismiss the New York Attorney General’s lawsuit against the company, which claims loot boxes in its games such as Counter-Strike 2 promote illegal gambling and threaten to addict children.
They’ve had lootboxes for-fucking-ever, they practically started the trend of gambling for video game skins, it’s not only characteristic but integral to the corporation
ah, the tried and true EA way
not very characteristic for them
This is their cash cow, so they’ll defend it. Everything else they’ve done is to defend their cash cow.

gambling is on point, the “openly defending it” part isn’t, at least to me
Is it not? Valve gets a lot of love but they are a corp at the end of the day. Their famous refund policy came about only because Australia made them.
they absolutely are neck deep in it, I just don’t recall them ever openly defending it, EA style
