NEW YORK JUST DECLARED WAR ON LOOT BOXES Valve just filed to dismiss the NY lawsuit over CS2 cases. If NY wins: → CS2 cases gone → Fortnite loot boxes gone → Gacha games gone → FIFA Ultimate Team gone If Valve wins: → $4.3B skin market stays untouched → Every game company copies the model forever There is no middle ground here. One court decision. Entire industry on the line.

Valve has asked the court to throw out the New York Attorney General’s lawsuit, citing Pokémon cards, Happy Meals, and Labubus, accusing the company of illegal gambling through Counter-Strike weapon skin “cases.” The lawsuit claims these mystery “cases” in Counter-Strike 2 and CS:GO let players, including kids, gamble real money by paying for a chance at rare virtual items In a 42-page filing on May 19, Valve says the “cases” do not count as gambling under New York law because players always get a random weapon skin for the money they pay, just like buying sealed packs of baseball cards, Pokémon cards, or the toy in a cereal box. The company says there is no “stake” or chance of losing money, as it is just the surprise element common in collectibles. Valve warns that the Attorney General’s idea could make normal activities illegal, such as parents buying trading cards for their kids or families playing arcade games. The filing notes that these loot boxes have been sold for over ten years without objection from any other U.S. state. Valve wants the court to dismiss the whole case “with prejudice.” If denied, the lawsuit seeks triple damages on billions of dollars Valve made, plus an order to stop sales to New York residents.

@CP24 People don't want to travel to communist countries to try and have a good time. Especially not with those match stick box "grand stands" they constructed.

Subnautica 2 has sold 4.1M copies and generated $100M in under a week (@alineaanalytics estimates). The vast majority of those copies were sold via Steam (4M), with Xbox selling under 100K. That said, plenty of Xbox players got their hands on Subnautica 2 thanks to Game Pass. Across console, Windows, and cloud, 2.4M gamers have played Subnautica 2 via Game Pass, as per our estimates. So the overall player number is well over 6M. As things stand, Subnautica 2 is also the fastest-selling Steam game of the year so far. In terms of copies sold five days in on Steam, Subnautica 2 (4M sold on Steam) is selling: - 1.4x faster than Slay the Spire 2 (2.9M, five days in) - Almost 2x faster than Resident Evil Requiem (2.1M) - 3x faster than Crimson Desert (1.3M sold) But owing to differences in price, Requiem is the clear leader in terms of Steam gross revenue with $120M five days in, versus $96M for Subnautica 2, $78M for Crimson Desert, and $58M for Slay the Spire 2. Regional pricing and a high share of Chinese players limited the revenue somewhat for Slay the Spire 2. The Requiem comparison is a neat example of the early-access pricing thesis. Capcom got $120M up front. Unknown Worlds got 4M players locked into a five-year content runway, with DLC, expansions, and an eventual full-launch price uplift all still ahead. Of course, each major content drop will produce a Steam algorithm uplift, wishlist reactivation, fresh press coverage, and a DAU spike that resembles a launch in miniature. I was making good use of my Game Pass subscription last night to bounce between Forza and Subnautica 2. And I must say, Subnautica 2 is one of the most polished early-access releases I’ve seen, and definitely one of the best Unreal Engine 5 launches so far. It’s awesome. Bloody well done to Unknown Worlds. And another 2026 banger for the books. Full write-up on the free Substack (link is on my profile) We'll post some Forza estimates and thoughts on Friday.

@SelectOneNow @MarkJCarney North River and Trane? Notice he always pushes heat pumps... His Gfanz, made to testify before the US congress for racketeering. Check out Trane here as well. He's an absolute crook. Friends with both Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew. We are the company we keep.

Canadians have been talking about the massive opportunity of the Hope Bay deposit since the 1990s — it’s time to unlock that potential.

@SelectOneNow @MarkJCarney Brookfield is not invested in Canadian oil and gas He is setting up a carbon credit system for his profit. None of his actions will benefit taxpayers. Quite the opposite

@Br0mslee @MarkJCarney "That is no argument." The irony of saying this after I fully break down the video you provided and what I think it's mistaken on. For you just to regurgitate that Carney doesn't have my best interest at heart, while providing no reasoning or substance to your reply.

@SelectOneNow @MarkJCarney You are asleep freind. Carney cares only for his/brookfields profit. If you are expecting him to do anything for you/ Canadians, you best get far back in line behind his interests.

@Br0mslee @MarkJCarney Brookfield is also invested in Gas & Oil. So whether Canada investes in electrical or gas, you can point to Brookfield & say haha, Carney is helping Brookfield. Electrical is cheaper for Canadians. Video makes Carney look like a centrist, appeasing & upsetting both sides.

@SelectOneNow @MarkJCarney One of the very few deals announced they are not. But start looking at everything else he has done from the Trane(Brookfield) heat pumps on.

@SelectOneNow @MarkJCarney Deny your eyes and ears then for all I care. Nietzsche wrote a lot about people choosing illusion over facing harsh reality. What am saying is the truth, now it's up to you to accept it, do your own research and verify. Or don't, and continue living in ignorance.
