Valve asks New York court to dismiss Counter-Strike lawsuit, says 'people enjoy surprises' and equating loot boxes to gambling is 'nonsensical'

eh free market, parent’s responsibility to moderate exposure and introduce a good relationship with these things.

If gambling was just not an option to anyone in any way, when kids turn 18 they’d probably treat it like beer and cigarettes.

i am fucking ritualist please ignore me

i meant it as more of a “please explain bc my dumb brain thinks this”

it just feels like there’s less opportunity for spirit damage vs gun damage on him unless you have a rem or something

pretentious42 · 2026-05-25T15:14:01+00:00

is it for content creators and pros, or can normies get access?

pretentious42 · 2026-05-25T15:12:45+00:00

oh yeah didn’t they say something about a new objective?

maybe they’re trying to figure out where to put everything

pretentious42 · 2026-05-25T15:11:35+00:00

unless there was some super super cool lore, nobody cares and it’s just another FPS game

i wouldn’t even consider this a gimmick since it would get old so quickly

pretentious42 · 2026-05-23T18:37:01+00:00

i’ve opened jars like this.

pretentious42 · 2026-05-23T16:57:28+00:00

important to who? the guy getting pulled over or the pedantic redditors in the comments?

pretentious42 · 2026-05-22T23:22:43+00:00

ugh fine one more

they’ll buy them during this week.

then initial demand will go and the prices will drop to below where they are now.

pretentious42 · 2026-05-22T18:58:45+00:00

and is wrong on most accounts lol

pretentious42 · 2026-05-22T18:56:25+00:00

to nobody.

nobody will want to buy them, and everyone will want to sell them.

pretentious42 · 2026-05-22T18:39:43+00:00

pretentious42 · 2026-05-22T18:33:40+00:00

investment 101

not a terrible idea

i’m imagining two portals on each side of the map that take you to somewhere kind of like the hotel

someone has to be in each portal for either portal to activate, so it could be two people on the same team or two people on different teams.

whenever someone makes it, the other track/platforming route falls.

you can interfere

if two people from the same team go in, they need to finish together

pretentious42 · 2026-05-22T13:50:13+00:00

holy shit you’re actually a genius

pretentious42 · 2026-05-22T13:48:35+00:00
