The New York Attorney General (NYAG) has brought a lawsuit against Valve, accusing the company of promoting "illegal gambling" through its in-game loot boxes. This is in response to criticism that the company's loot boxes are more random than real-world purchases. The lawsuit argues that Valve's control of the Steam Marketplace is the only legitimate way to exchange or resell these items, and that its 15% commission on item resale could determine the economic value of the items sold.
