How strong is New York's "illegal gambling" case against Valve's loot boxes?

6 hours ago

Valve faces a lawsuit from New York alleging its loot box sales constitute illegal gambling.
The legal case hinges on whether loot box items qualify as 'something of value' under gambling laws.
Experts argue Valve's loot boxes resemble 'blind box' toys or card packs rather than traditional gambling.
Buyers always receive an item, which may not meet the legal definition of gambling where outcomes can result in nothing.
