A class action lawsuit accuses Valve of using gambling-like tactics with loot boxes in games like Counter-Strike 2.Summary
A class action lawsuit has been filed against Valve, mirroring a similar suit brought by New York two weeks prior. Both lawsuits allege that Valve’s loot boxes, particularly in games such as Counter-Strike 2, function as a form of gambling. The class action specifically accuses Valve of employing “deceptive, casino-style psychological tactics” to encourage players to purchase loot boxes. The suit, filed by Hagens Berman, claims Valve is operating an illegal gambling enterprise through these in-game purchases.
