I don’t know about that. They run one of the most predatory examples of gambling in gaming.

The new EU ruling really brought to light how big of a problem the CS:GO gambling is.

Is gambling really that bad though? It's voluntary. Valve isn't forcing you to buy keys or cases if you don't want them

It's addictive. We regulate other addictive things like cigarettes, no reason we shouldn't put guard rails on gambling. We already do, but I think we've got to the end regs in a few areas.
