Transferability is a right we believe should not be taken away, and we refuse to do that

Valve takes a cut of every 'transfer' between users involving money, and they don't allow transferability of games, the main thing people would want to transfer. If you're going to pretend like you're trying to help consumers by giving them control over their digital content, don't just do it for the type of content that makes you money.

With that said, I'm definitely on Valve's side with this. Age verification and anti-VPN spyware is all bullshit. Too bad I'm not a NY resident.

“disappointed to see the NYAG make that claim after working to educate them”.

Isn’t that just lobbying?

Lootboxes are gambling though, even if those exist IRL and are not required for playing.
