I hate new york but I have to admit theyre not completely wrong here. This "crate stuff" in CSGO is pure gambling. So are magic the gathering/pokemon card packs.
That's back when we used to fuck the cards up, and not sell them. I intentionally stayed off the newer entirely too many release cards. MTG is an entirely different game than when I was in high school. Having no desire to study a fucking game, I just remember it fondly.
The cards hold value, because it has resale value.
Remember Little Big Planet? That game allowed you to give anyone everything you had, and you got to keep it. It was anti monitezation. That game was bought just to put an end to that practice.
As soon as you imply that one pack can be better than another, it's gambling. It is possible for card packs to not be gambling - even items that aren't blind boxed get sold by waves just so you or the retailer can simplify your logistics - but you can tell that card packs are gambling if the company makes the rarest cards the most desirable cards rather than the most niche cards.

Now go after EA...
Were card packs always gambling? I remember Garbage Pail Kids being random. But, I never thought of those as gambling.
Nobody is paying thousands for rare GPC cards like that are with Pokemon
