You laugh but, this is the average person in the game who claims he’s a lurker watching his teammates get SLAMMED. He finishes with 20 pointless kills and says it wasn’t his fault you lost
> Valve compared their Lootboxes with other collectibles such as Baseball cards and asked to dismiss the case:
"Like baseball cards, these digital items, called “skins,” are designed for entertainment and have subjective and aesthetic value to users. They do not affect game play and simply alter a player’s in-game appearance. As with baseball cards, collectors have established secondary markets for skins, with resale prices based on desirability. And like baseball card packs, mystery boxes are widely available. They are common features in countless videogames—not just Valve’s—and are enjoyed by millions of people worldwide"
"Allowing this case to continue would inject uncertainty into hundreds of daily commercial transactions. Can parents purchase packs of baseball cards for their children? Can families go to Chuck E. Cheese to play games of chance and exchange winning tickets for prizes? Can a child reach into a cereal box and grab a surprise toy? All these actions and more could lead to chargeable crimes under NYAG’s interpretation of gambling. This Court should not permit such a nonsensical outcome. It should dismiss this misguided lawsuit with prejudice"
