The official game website claims that DotaX, the first blockchain game developed by Valve, quietly launched on September 2nd.
The game completed strategic financing in April 2025, receiving investments from Valve and the French sports public chain Chiliz, with a valuation reaching $1 billion. However, the amount invested by Chiliz has not been disclosed; it is likely that Valve funded it themselves, with Chiliz using public chain grants to offset the investment.
These days, raising the valuation to $1 billion during the financing phase of a blockchain project TGE seems a bit exaggerated and not very realistic for a credible project.
The official Twitter account has only over 8,000 followers. I asked around my community of over 300 hardcore players, and not only is no one playing, but no one has even heard of it.
Are there any users from Binance Square participating? Come out and leave a message to share your feelings, how much you invested, what the game content is like, and how the token economic system is designed?
@Avalanche_CN @Polkadot Network A large European and American blockchain game project has been taken by a small French chain, go quickly!

😂 The New York Attorney General accused Valve of possible money laundering through Steam
State authorities conducted a demonstrative experiment:
a detective bought skins in Counter-Strike 2 for $550, resold them, and with the proceeds ordered a Steam Deck. Then the console was pawned for $180.
The prosecutor's conclusion: there is a potential channel for converting virtual items into cash, which can be exploited by fraudsters.
However, during the "laundering," $550 turned into $180…
Commissions, spreads, and the pawnshop discount look like the worst business model in history 😅

🔥 CS2 Knife Market Just Got Nuked! 💥
After the crypto dump, even skin traders aren’t safe anymore 😬
Valve just changed the game — literally. By allowing users to bundle and trade cheap ~$5 items for high-value knives (worth $1000+ before), they’ve triggered a massive market crash in the CS2 skin economy.
💣 Impact:
In less than 24 hours, the CS2 market lost over $1B in value, with rare knife prices getting obliterated. What was once an elite trader flex just turned into a liquidation zone.
🎮 Community Split:
⚡️ “Yeah, lost value overnight.”
🔥 “Nah, holding only onchain bags.”
This move has shaken both in-game traders and crypto crossovers, showing how fragile digital collectibles can be — whether they’re on-chain or off.
💬 What’s your take — smart market correction or total chaos from Valve?

🎰 Loot boxes in court: Valve under fire
New York authorities have filed a lawsuit against Valve, equating loot boxes in Counter-Strike 2 to an illegal casino.
The argument is simple: buying keys for real money = betting on random outcomes. Rare skins have market value, and Valve receives a commission from market turnover. The prosecution believes that the mechanics foster behavior similar to gambling, including among minors.
The irony is that the catalyst was a prosecutor who himself opened dozens of cases and ended up with nothing — after which he publicly expressed outrage.
If the court supports the state's position, the entire loot box industry will be at risk. This will create a precedent: randomized digital rewards for real money may be interpreted as gambling.
Now let's look at the bigger picture. Any mechanics of "random for cash" — be it game cases or digital gifts — in Western jurisdictions could receive the same label.
Regulators are increasingly focusing not on form, but on economic substance.
