Official statement from Valve.

We shared with the NYAG that these types of boxes in our games are widely used, not just in video games but in the tangible world as well, where generations have grown up opening baseball card packs and blind boxes and bags, and then trading and selling the items they receive.

You’re right! We should stop that too!

    I guess G*mers love loot boxes now.

    Fuck Valve for the profiteering off child gambling.

    And fuck the G*mers that keep giving Valve a free pass because they’ve been a monopoly longer then they’ve been alive.

      Fuck valve for loot boxes but also fuck you twice as much.

      Valve is the only market place and game company that isn’t as fucking consumers at every step of the way.

      They have ONE problem. Instead of ALL the problems like everyone else.

        You can tell a lot of money is being moved on the dark web to push shit onto Valve. I wonder how much pressure they are under to try to get them to go public. The change needs to be legislative, not targeted.
