Valve has “serious concerns” with New York Attorney General’s loot box lawsuit

Valve has come out with a strongly worded public statement after being hit with a lawsuit from New York’s Attorney General, Letitia James, which alleges that the company is “promoting illegal gambling” through its games. The lawsuit takes aim at tradeable items earned from loot boxes in titles such as Counter-Strike 2, with the Office of the Attorney General claiming in a press release that “Valve has made billions of dollars luring its users, many of whom are teenagers or younger, to engage in gambling in the hopes of winning expensive virtual items that they can cash in on.” Now, Valve has responded, saying it has “serious concerns” with the requests laid out in the case.
