Valve is no stranger to lawsuits. From small-scale litigation to full-blown class-action cases, Valve has been somewhat of a court magnet, with both individuals and governments coming after the company on various grounds. One of the more recent cases is the one brought by New York's attorney general, who is pursuing action against the company's loot boxes, which it describes as "gambling."
But what is truly rare is Valve speaking out about it. In the majority of lawsuits that came across its desks, Valve never really went out in public to speak about them, no matter what the basis for them was. Now, however, the company found it apt to defend its position, especially its use of microtransactions (loot boxes) in games like Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2.
