Counter-Strike 2 / Team Fortress 2 / Dota 2

Mission Intelligence: Valve’s flagship live-service titles Counter-Strike 2, Team Fortress 2, and Dota 2 are now central to a legal operation by the New York Attorney General over loot box mechanics. Each game relies on cosmetic item drops and crate/key systems tightly woven into their economies. This lawsuit could redefine how randomized rewards are classified in New York and beyond. Keywords: loot boxes, gambling law, live-service, cosmetic monetization.
