So they should be left alone with their online gambling business because they’ve been doing it for a long time and also there are other companies doing it too? Valve glazing is really out of control.
While I certainly agree with the “competition fails at being a competitor and sues instead”, it is also false to say that because of Valve having lootboxes for over a decade, we should let it be.
Well, if Valve loses the case and this would force EA, Epic and all other bunch of shitty companies that utilize FOMO and gambling mechanics to stop doing so - I see it as a enormous W.
Bingo. It’s also widely known across the industry that Valve has had these crates and keys for nearly a decade. No lawsuit.
It’s all about the Benjamins.

You are technically correct, except no one will try to enforce it on the lobbying companies, who probably kickstarted the lawsuit in the first place.
