They unironically were.
Epstein is on record talking with Bobby Kotick about pushing microtransactions on kids, like, over a decade ago.
To my knowledge, no former or current Valve employee was involved in any such discussions with Epstein...
... but yeah.
Lootboxes absolutely are in the Epstein files, he was all for 'indoctrinating kids into a digital economy.'
You may be too young to have experienced the before times, but MTX used to not exist, not be a thing.
You'd go to a store and buy an expansion pack to a game, whole bunch of new content and often new game mechanics, for maybe 1/2 to 1/3 the pricd of the original game.
Or, later, you'd just buy that online.
No digital fake currencies, no paying for a single game item, no battle passes.
EDIT:
But like really, pause, and think about this.
Epstein was involved with m00t, 4chan, getting the /pol/ board set up.
Esptein was advising top game industry execs on pushing MTX.
QAnon? A giant psyop/misdirect. All the weird pizza terms and shit that people fixated on? Yeah those were the terms the Epstein class was using, in their emails.
There's fucking photos of Epstein in rooms full of servers and computers that are literally labelled CIA.
... the entire digital environment of primarily the US but of course also the entire world...
... was substantially shaped and molded and created by a ring of wealthy people who all share the common attribute of loving to exploit children.
We live in a society built by groomers and rapists, operating in the shadows, gaslighting everyone that this is all normal.
Its way, waay bigger than just the specific, actually trafficked or murdered victims.
They built a digital reality that revolves around exploiting children too.
