I love stream but loot boxes are gambling, underaged gambling at that, and I hope NY wins the suit.

I'm not trying to defend Valve here. But NY winning this sounds absolutely awful. There is no good reason for them to want Valve to be collecting so much more identifying user info and only bad things will come from that.

    Then they can fucking stop with the god damn fucking loot boxes.

    Valve shouldnt need biometrics.

    Valve also should fucking suck the fattest cock with the gambling bullshit.

    Random chance should NEVER be part of a transaction involving two parties that have unequal footing in the deal.

    Don't do loot boxes then.

    As for more user info, that I can agree with up to a point and I certainly don't trust a corporation, even Valve to do the correct thing and protect additional PII.

    Nah, fuck the AG for tying these 2 issues together. They don't give a fuck about gambling, they just see a huge marketplace ripe for online ID and are snaking their way into it if they can.
