      This is their cash cow, so they’ll defend it. Everything else they’ve done is to defend their cash cow.

      They’ve had lootboxes for-fucking-ever, they practically started the trend of gambling for video game skins, it’s not only characteristic but integral to the corporation

      Is it not? Valve gets a lot of love but they are a corp at the end of the day. Their famous refund policy came about only because Australia made them.
