New York Attorney General’s lawsuit against the company, which claims loot boxes in its games such as Counter-Strike 2 promote illegal gambling and threaten to addict children.

Both CS and TF2 are rated M. Children shouldn't be playing them in the first place.🤷‍♂️

to deem loot boxes illegal gambling, because doing so would mean the likes of baseball cards, Happy Meal toys, and even Labubu blind boxes would be considered gambling, too.

You know what, do it. Make it illegal. Fuck MTG and Pokemon card collectors. 🥳🥳🥳
