00:00The state of New York isn't happy with Counter-Strike. It's filed a lawsuit against Valve for the game's loot
00:06boxes, which let children and adults alike illegally gamble.
00:10Valve, you'll be stunned to hear, doesn't quite agree with that assessment and has asked the court to toss the
00:16case out.
00:17No court has allowed the executive branch to criminalize overnight such a breathtaking amount of commonplace conduct not specifically prescribed
00:26by a statute, said Valve.
00:28This court should not be the first.
00:30People enjoy surprises. The possibility of opening a sealed package and being surprised with a rare item.
00:37No legislator or court has ever deemed that act illegal gambling.
00:42Valve's opponent, meanwhile, is pursuing damages equal to three times the profit the company has made from loot boxes.
00:49Gabe Newell might have to sell a year or two. Check out the full story on pcgamer.com and follow
