        <p>Hello,</p>

<p style="margin: 0 0 16px;">Thanks for being on this list. If anything below is unclear, email <a href="mailto:contact@stopsuingvalve.com">contact@stopsuingvalve.com</a>. If you would like to help out, we would love to hear from you at the same address.</p>

<p style="margin: 0 0 24px;">We have added a new case to <a href="https://stopsuingvalve.com/">stopsuingvalve.com</a>: <strong>People of the State of New York v. Valve Corporation</strong> (Supreme Court, New York County; Index No. 450952/2026). On <strong>25 February 2026</strong>, the New York Attorney General filed a complaint alleging that loot-box-style mechanics in Valve games amount to unlawful gambling under state law. This is a <strong>state enforcement action</strong>, not a private class action like the UK CAT case or the federal Washington class action on the site.</p>

<p style="margin: 0 0 10px; font-weight: bold; color: #222;">How to get email only for this New York case</p>

<p style="margin: 0 0 12px;">We added a dedicated mailing list: <strong>US Attorney General Steam Lawsuit Updates</strong>. To subscribe:</p>

<ol style="margin: 0 0 1em 1.2em; padding: 0; line-height: 1.5;">
	<li style="margin-bottom: 8px;">Open <a href="https://stopsuingvalve.com/">stopsuingvalve.com</a>.</li>
	<li style="margin-bottom: 8px;"><strong>Easiest:</strong> Jump to the case with <a href="https://stopsuingvalve.com/#lawsuit-us-ny-people-v-valve-gambling-2026">this link</a>, open the case details, and click <strong>Stay Updated</strong>. The subscribe form opens with <strong>US Attorney General Steam Lawsuit Updates</strong> already selected (you can add or remove other lists before you submit).</li>
	<li style="margin-bottom: 8px;"><strong>Or:</strong> Click <strong>Subscribe</strong> in the top of the site, enter your email (and optional name), tick <strong>US Attorney General Steam Lawsuit Updates</strong>, complete the verification step, then submit.</li>
</ol>

<p style="margin: 0 0 16px;">We also offer <strong>New Lawsuits</strong> on the same form if you want a short mailing list for whenever we add another lawsuit page to the site. You can subscribe to that alone or together with the New York list.</p>

<p style="margin: 0 0 10px; font-weight: bold; color: #222;">What you will find on the new page</p>

<ul style="margin: 0 0 1em 1.1em; padding: 0;">
	<li><strong>Plain-language summary</strong> — What the Office of the Attorney General alleges (including references to CS2, TF2, and Dota 2), and how it differs from opt-out class proceedings.</li>
	<li><strong>Primary sources</strong> — Links to the <a href="https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/court-filings/new-york-v-valve-corporation-complaint-2026.pdf">verified complaint (PDF)</a>, the <a href="https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2026/attorney-general-james-sues-game-developer-promoting-illegal-gambling-through">Attorney General press release</a>, and Valve’s <a href="https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6300-A6C4-519D-A3F5">Steam Support FAQ</a> on the suit.</li>
	<li><strong>Status timeline</strong> — Filing date and placeholders for later milestones as the case moves.</li>
	<li><strong>FAQ</strong> — Short Q&amp;A aligned with the rest of the site (always double-check official filings and notices).</li>
</ul>

<p style="margin: 0 0 20px; padding: 12px 14px; background: #f7f7f8; border-radius: 4px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #555;"><strong>Legal</strong> — We are not lawyers. This email is for general information only. For the complaint, court filings, and any official communications, rely on the Attorney General’s materials, the court record, and Valve’s FAQ—not our summary alone. There is no class opt-out form for this enforcement suit in the way there is for the UK or federal class actions we cover.</p>

        <p>Hello,</p>

<p style="margin: 0 0 16px;">Thanks for being on this US-focused list. If anything below is unclear, email <a href="mailto:contact@stopsuingvalve.com">contact@stopsuingvalve.com</a>. If you would like to help out, we would love to hear from you at the same address.</p>

<p style="margin: 0 0 24px;">Here is an update on what we have added or refreshed for the <strong>US</strong> class action (<em>In re Valve Antitrust Litigation</em>, W.D. Wash., 2:21-cv-00563) on <a href="https://stopsuingvalve.com/">stopsuingvalve.com</a>.</p>

<p style="margin: 0 0 10px; font-weight: bold; color: #222;">What is new (US case)</p>

<ul style="margin: 0 0 1em 1.1em; padding: 0;">
	<li><strong>Case summary &amp; two classes</strong> — The page still explains the <strong>publisher/developer</strong> class (commission paid to Valve for Steam sales in the stated period) and the separate <strong>consumer</strong> class (PC game purchases via Steam). The <strong>publisher/developer opt-out deadline</strong> (<strong>2 September 2025</strong>) is shown as <strong>passed</strong>.</li>
	<li><strong>Consumer class milestones</strong> — Notes that the court appointed <strong>Cohen Milstein</strong> as sole <strong>Interim Lead Class Counsel</strong> for the consumer class on <strong>2 May 2025</strong>, and that on <strong>28 August 2025</strong> the court granted an unopposed <strong>voluntary dismissal without prejudice</strong> for three named consumer plaintiffs as class representatives (they may remain as absent class members).</li>
	<li><strong>Status timeline</strong> — Includes certification for the publisher class, appeal petition denied (Ninth Circuit), opt-out deadline completed, and <strong>ongoing motion practice</strong> (sealing, dispositive motions; some orders sealed) for <strong>2025–2026</strong>.</li>
	<li><strong>Documents</strong> — Direct links on the site to the official class action materials, plus helpful extras such as the <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.wawd.298754/gov.uscourts.wawd.298754.533.0.pdf">28 August 2025 order (Dkt. 533)</a> on the voluntary dismissal, the <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.wawd.298754/gov.uscourts.wawd.298754.591.0.pdf">31 March 2026 order (Dkt. 591)</a> on sealing (in part), and the <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/59859024/in-re-valve-antitrust-litigation/">CourtListener RECAP docket</a>.</li>
	<li><strong>Official site</strong> — Prominent link to the court-authorised site and its <strong>Important documents</strong> page—we still do not tell you how to exercise any class rights.</li>
	<li><strong>FAQ</strong> — US consumer and publisher Q&amp;A aligned with the above (always double-check official notices).</li>
</ul>

<p style="margin: 24px 0 10px; font-weight: bold; color: #222;">Other site note</p>

<ul style="margin: 0 0 1em 1.1em; padding: 0;">
	<li><strong>Theme</strong> — Light and dark display are supported. The site follows your device colour scheme unless you pick a theme; if it cannot tell, it defaults to dark. Use the sun/moon control in the top-right to switch.</li>
</ul>

<p style="margin: 0 0 20px; padding: 12px 14px; background: #f7f7f8; border-radius: 4px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #555;"><strong>Legal</strong> — We are not lawyers. For class membership, procedures, consumer opt-out or deadlines, and exact definitions, rely on <a href="https://www.valvepublisherclassaction.com/">valvepublisherclassaction.com</a> and court-authorised notices, not our summary alone.</p>

        <p>Hello,</p>

<p style="margin: 0 0 16px;">Thanks for being on this subscriber list. It has been a while since I have had proper time to check on the site. I finally do again. Sorry for the long gap between updates.</p>

<p style="margin: 0 0 24px;">There is a fresh batch of changes on the website now. If anything is unclear, email <a href="mailto:contact@stopsuingvalve.com">contact@stopsuingvalve.com</a>. If you would like to help out, we would love to hear from you at the same address.</p>

<p style="margin: 0 0 10px; font-weight: bold; color: #222;">What is new</p>

<ul style="margin: 0 0 1em 1.1em; padding: 0;">
	<li><strong>UK case status</strong> - The page now describes certification (<strong>[2026] CAT 4</strong>, 26 January 2026), the <strong>Collective Proceedings Order</strong> (11 March 2026), and the opt-out / opt-in window.</li>
	<li><strong>Deadlines &amp; class rules</strong> - Short summary of the <strong>11 March 2026</strong> domicile date and <strong>11 June 2026</strong> deadline (received or postmarked), with a reminder to confirm wording on the <strong>official notice</strong>.</li>
	<li><strong>Documents</strong> - Links to the CAT judgment, the March 2026 notice and CPO materials on the claimants’ site, plus earlier filings where still relevant.</li>
	<li><strong>Deadline bar</strong> - A simple visual progress indicator for the opt-out/opt-in window (approximate calendar days; always double-check the official notice).</li>
	<li><strong>Official opt-out &amp; opt-in</strong> - Prominent buttons under the case timeline to the claimants’ forms, with neutral copy—we still do not tell you which option to use.</li>
	<li><strong>FAQ</strong> - Updated Q&amp;A for the UK proceedings and a short note on <strong>why we link to opt-in</strong> even though we oppose the claim.</li>
</ul>

<p style="margin: 24px 0 10px; font-weight: bold; color: #222;">Additional website change</p>

<ul style="margin: 0 0 1em 1.1em; padding: 0;">
	<li><strong>Theme</strong> - Light and dark display are supported. The site follows your device colour scheme unless you pick a theme; if it cannot tell, it defaults to dark. Use the sun/moon control in the top-right to switch.</li>
</ul>

<p style="margin: 0 0 20px; padding: 12px 14px; background: #f7f7f8; border-radius: 4px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #555;"><strong>Legal</strong> - We are not lawyers. For class membership, procedures, and exact deadlines, rely on <a href="https://steamyouoweus.co.uk/">steamyouoweus.co.uk</a> and the <a href="https://www.catribunal.org.uk/cases/16407724-vicki-shotbolt-class-representative">CAT case materials</a>, not our summary alone.</p>
