>The Native American Quinault Nation of Washington has filed a lawsuit against Valve Software alleging the company is operating an illegal gambling system
>They claim the Quinault Nation is harmed by the unfair competition posed by Valve because it does not comply with the many regulations surrounding the gambling industry.
>Pointing to CSGO's lootbox system as an illegal online slot machine that doesn't publish its odds
>The Nation notes that Washing State's gambling law applies to "items of value" which should include CSGO's items because Valve and users profit from the exchange of them both on the Marketplace and external explicitly gambling sites which it takes minimal action against.
>The Quinault Nation seeks damages suffered by this illegal competition, and for Valve to cease facilitating illegal gambling.
Valve Casino
they are right
I fucking hate smelly fat indians.
Based, fuck valve. I would've stood for them long ago but their neglect for the people who made then who they are is astounding
After all this time?
Guess one of them sobered up and realized his coke supply was running low.
I hope they win. I fucking hate how they turned every new game of theirs in a fucking service.
>and external explicitly gambling sites
Didn't Valve change something that made all gambling sites have to close and a lot of csgo kiddies started crying and shit? Or were they able to get over this limitation?
>lootboxes are competition for actual casinos
>The Native American
pffft
Time to pay up white devils
>unfair competition
these words are used by people who want to maintain a monopoly. Reminder that Unions operate on identical logic vis-a-vis labor.
>I fucking hate how they made games free to play
mhm
Retarded boomers are mad kids these days spend their dosh on Fortnite skins and not on their shitty spinwheel.
Man, must suck to have your entire people reduced to a handful of degenerate alcoholics
>tfw most Native American tribes are now largely supplanted with South American DNA and that old guy with slightly ruddy skin that talks about his indian grandfather is more native than them
stop toying with my brain

Good
Is it gambling if you actually get something in return 100% of the time?
>drive to Tulalip the other day for some fun
>win about $300 in 20 min at the slots
>"Meh, should be good"
>lady sits down where I was and wins $4000 on the same slot machine
Goddamn you Chinese themed machine bitches
Yeah but you can't sell steam items for real life cash through steam, only steambucks, right?
I mean obviously there are third party websites, but those don't count as an extension of steam.
Worst case scenario, valve will say that
>you don't buy a lootbox, actually, you send a donation to the developers and get a crate in return, so you're not buying lootboxes
Or something, I know that's what Blizzard did in china.
just because you win something worth $0.01 rather than nothing doesn't make it not gambling
lol i know grandpa told you he was a cherokee chief, but the truth is that he was just a drunk
>Casino
>Proud Native Americans
More like The Mafia targeted an innocent tribe and forced them to build a casino on their reservation, to get around gambling laws. Now those shifty criminals are somehow suing a company with a frivolous lawsuit, that would only have merit if kids were legally allowed to gamble at casinos.
>South American DNA
What? Do you mean the Native Americans of South America, or the mixed race, white, black, and even Arabs who live there now?
Big Chief Handout needs to shut the FUCK up and go back to huffing gasoline like the rest of his shitty people.
