The lawsuit aims to "stop Valve from promoting gambling features in its games, disgorge all ill-gotten gains, and pay fines for violating New York\u2019s laws."

Valve doesn't make the games. You'll need to take this up with the game developers. They're the ones who inserted the "surprise mechanics" into the game.

this is about Counterstrike loot boxes, so Valve absolutely makes the game in question
