Good for them, valve is one of the few good ones.

But I don't understand why people buy loot boxes. The chance of getting a rare item is so small. They can just spend much less money in the steam market and buy the item they want.

That's some mental gymnastics! They're good which means they can do the thing we use to label companies as bad?

Just make up your mind whether lootboxes are ok or not.

I think they are fine personally, specially when it's just cosmetic items.

How are they one of the good ones if they're pulling this bullshit?
