“First one’s free”
As in you get infinitely more by buying than you are given for free (hence why people buy them) is always the sign of a well intentioned business.

Rationality is rare.
Keep trying.

Selling is not gambling. It’s kind of the opposite of gambling.
Is valve buying the boxes and destroying them?
That doesn’t make any sense.
If valve isn’t buying them and destroying them, then where are they going and why?
You’re trying too hard.
I’m not the one promoting gambling on a gaming platform.
Yes. Show me where I promoted gambling.
