The lawsuit aims to "stop Valve from promoting gambling features in its games, disgorge all ill-gotten gains, and pay fines for violating New York\u2019s laws."

The lootboxes are a Counterstrike thing. They're like Labubus except with digital guns and knives.

Ok, so I looked into it further and looks like they also take a tax on every trade, meaning they are actually profiting off of people's auctions after they run their slot machines.

Seems to be quite a bit of ill-gotten gains to be found here.
