Attorney General James Sues Game Developer for Promoting Illegal Gambling Through Video Games
NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James today sued Valve Corporation (Valve), a video game developer, for illegally promoting gambling through video
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.
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
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.
