The point is that the entire system of 'crate that needs to be unlocked with a key for a random reward' is in itself already a form of gambling, especially as the various rewards have a value through the steam marketplace.
But not run by Valve.
My question is why does green text seem to think that Gabe Newell (in particular) is some kind of Uber black market gambling criminal.
Of course its run by valve, who else do you think would run it?
