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."

Some people buy with the intent to sell later and turn a profit, like stock trading, is what I meant.

Trading is completelly different thing. There is risk of loosing money when selling or buying at the wrong time, but the product is still allways there and you have the opportunity to appraise the price of what ever you are trading.

In gambling there is promise of payout, but you have no way of knowing what you are getting.
