So... They went with "It's not gambling, everyone else is doing it"?

... Yes, it's still kids gambling, it's just valve is the one probably profiting the most.

I think the argument is fair. The question to answer is: is it different then trading cards and more, and if not, should trading cards be illegal?

I think the comparison to blind box toys is fairly good - I never bought blind box legos to make money, I just liked a few of each run and hoped I'd get it. There seems to be a bit of a difference between gambling and baseball cards.

That’s an unfair synopsis of the post. They’re comparing the digital items to physical collectibles like baseball cards and Pokémon cards.
