I have to disagree. Loot boxes definitely existed before CS:GO and TF2, but Valve has still been really predatory about it, dodging regulation and refusing to seriously address the issues in CS for years now. The recent update they did that cut down the CS market was a step in the right direction but far too late imo.

still doesn't change the fact that that's not a game for kids, and the adults for whom that game was made can make as many bad decisions with their money as they can afford

i'm not in favour of gambling for children don't get me wrong, in fact i was once a victim of it (thanks to wizard101, a game advertised as and marketed for children), but Valve just did not enage in that. if a child is playing a game that's clearly marked "M" or "PEGI 18" then it's the parents' responsibility to figure out if its something appropriate for their child
