Yeah I love how they pioneered marketing gambling and loot boxes to children, so visionary

CSGO cases pulled $1 billion revenue in 2023. The steam store brought in $8.5 billion in that same year. That's a 30% cut of all sales traffic on steam vs. in-game loot crates on a single title.

Loot boxes pull insane numbers. And yes they exploit children and problem gamblers. Love to see so many Valve fans downvote you :/

I too love how you can make shit up on the internet

It's literally facts lol

The other reply to my comment has some links, but there's no way you like Valve and don't also know about Counter-Strike loot boxes and the third party market sites.
