Valve is far from the first, only, or worst actors in this field. Skin lootboxes are not much more than a flex.

If there is one to blame for the gambling epidemic, look at EA and FIFA.

Valve is not literally the first but they played a big part in normalizing both lootboxes and micro transactions. Don't rewrite history just because you are a fan.

Not to mention their role in you not owning your games.
