New York State Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against Valve, alleging the company violates gambling laws through loot boxes in games including Counter-Strike 2, Team Fortress 2, and Dota 2, claiming the randomized virtual items resemble slot machines and can be sold for real money. The lawsuit seeks to stop Valve's alleged illegal gambling practices, recover profits, and impose fines, with James asserting the loot box features are particularly harmful to children.
