Valve, the master of microtransactions, has invented a new type of loot box that seems to get around regulations in some European countries.

    Predatory as hell. Almost impressive how Valve manages to simultaneously be one of the best and one of the worst companies in gaming.

        They shot themselves in the foot in my opinion. I just won’t play video games that have that gambling aspect to them. I already spend enough on trading cards for that thrill
