New York’s attorney general is suing video game developer Valve, claiming the “loot boxes” found in Counter-Strike and other popular video game franchises illegally promote gambling. State Attorney General Letitia James said Wednesday that games such as Counter-Strike 2, Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2 charge users for the chance to win rare items held in the virtual containers. The items can then be sold online for significant sums. James’ office wants the to company stop promoting what it says is essentially gambling. The state also wants Valve to pay a fine, restitution and damages to users. Messages seeking comment were left Wednesday for the Washington-based company.
