IT House reported on March 12 that last month, Valve was sued by the New York State Attorney General’s Office for continuing to use paid box opening and item trading systems in games such as “Counter-Strike 2” and “DOTA 2”. Today, the company that operates the Steam platform and develops "Half-Life" issued a long statement on the Steam support website in response to the lawsuit, defending its unboxing mechanism and comparing it to real-life products such as baseball cards and Pokémon cards.
IT House noted that Valve said in a statement to New York players: "This type of unboxing mechanism in our games is widely used, not only in video games, but also in the real world. Generations of people have grown up opening baseball card packs, blind boxes, and blind bags, and then trading and reselling the items. In reality, such popular products include baseball cards, Pokémon cards, Magic cards, and Labboobs, etc."
Valve also explained that players can play the game normally without paying to unbox it, because all unboxing items are cosmetic items. Notably, Valve says its data shows that "most" players don't open any boxes at all and just play the game normally. The company says this means players who don't pay won't be at any disadvantage.
In a lawsuit filed in February, the New York State Attorney General claimed that Valve "condoned gambling" through its popular online games and digital store Steam, accusing it of violating New York State's anti-gambling laws, and requested a permanent ban on Valve from promoting gambling-related features in games and forcing the company to pay various fines for violating New York State laws.
Valve said in a statement that it cooperated with the investigation by the New York State Attorney General's Office and showed them "how we have banned accounts for years on gambling sites that violate the Steam User Agreement by illegally using Valve game items." Gambling sites have been a major problem for Valve and were directly named in the New York state lawsuit.
Valve said: "Valve will never cooperate with gambling websites. So far, we have banned more than 1 million Steam accounts that have been abused by third parties and involved in gambling, fraud and theft. We have also launched functions such as transaction withdrawal and transaction cooling to curb the operation of gambling websites and protect Steam users from fraud. At the same time, we prohibit any gambling-related institutions from participating in or sponsoring our game events."
Elsewhere in the statement, it was mentioned that Valve is "deeply concerned" about some of the changes the New York State Attorney General's Office wants to make to Steam's mechanics, and is particularly strongly opposed to banning users from trading and reselling digital cosmetic items obtained from loot boxes.
"We believe that the transferability of digital game items is beneficial to consumers - users can sell or exchange unused and unwanted items, just like people can resell or exchange physical items such as Pokémon cards and baseball cards," Valve said. "The New York State Attorney General proposed to deprive users of the right to transfer digital items in Valve games. We believe that transferability is a right that should not be deprived, and we refuse to do so."
While this stance appears to be on the side of users, the fact that Valve itself does not allow users to resell or trade their purchased digital games on Steam weakens the persuasiveness of its rhetoric. If transferability is a right, shouldn't it apply to all digital items on Steam, not just loot boxes and keys?
Finally, Valve responded to the New York State Attorney General's Office's statement regarding "Video Games and Gun Violence" in a press release regarding the lawsuit. The office said in a press release that Valve "promotes games that promote violence and guns" and is one of the reasons for "the epidemic of gun violence" in the United States.
Valve reasonably refuted this claim in an open letter to New York gamers: "Furthermore, while the core of this case is the issue of blind box unboxing, we feel it is necessary to respond to the remarks made by the Attorney General's Office regarding games, real-life violence, and minors. These irrelevant remarks are purely a red herring and a mischaracterization we have heard before. Numerous studies over the years have confirmed that there is no correlation between media content (movies, TV, books, comics, music, games) and real-life violence. In fact, multiple studies have also pointed to the positive effects of games on users."
Although many people agree that Valve has failed to control skin trading and gambling over the years, the Attorney General's inclusion of this statement in the press release also caused many netizens to turn against the lawsuit.

Shenzhen News Network, January 21, 2026 (Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reporter Zhou Yumeng) As the window for China’s reform and opening up and the core engine of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Shenzhen has used digital service outsourcing as a breakthrough in recent years to continue to promote the upgrading of the information technology outsourcing (ITO) industry towards high value-added and high-tech content.
According to the latest data from the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Commerce, as of December 2024, Shenzhen's offshore service outsourcing business covers 82 countries and regions around the world, with digital trade import and export of US$60.16 billion, a year-on-year increase of 11.3%. Among them, the export volume was US$29.21 billion, a year-on-year increase of 6.4%. As a national service outsourcing demonstration city, Shenzhen has made particularly outstanding contributions. In 2024, the execution volume of national service outsourcing will increase by 17.4% year-on-year, among which the execution volume of information technology outsourcing (ITO), business process outsourcing (BPO) and knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) will increase by 6.47%, 10.95% and 11.69% respectively, becoming an important growth pole for national ITO exports.
Policies are targeted to drive high value-added transformation
In order to consolidate and expand the advantages of the ITO industry, in the past two years, Shenzhen's policy support for ITO/KPO and other high value-added service outsourcing has shifted from "widening the net" to "fine focus".
In 2023, Shenzhen issued "Several Measures to Support the High-Quality Development of Digital Trade" which stipulates that 15% of the execution value of cloud computing and AI outsourcing contracts will be rewarded (with a maximum limit of 5 million yuan for a single project) to promote the transition of enterprises to high value-added fields such as AI and industrial software; the "Shenzhen i Enterprise" platform provides 80% cost reimbursement for corporate employees to obtain international certifications such as AWS and PMP; the "International Professional Qualification Certification" piloted in the Qianhai Cooperation Zone recognizes the IT qualifications of Hong Kong, Macao and Singapore, injecting policy dividends into industrial development.
"Shenzhen's service outsourcing policy has entered a new stage of 'improving quality and increasing efficiency'." Li Ming, director of the Service Trade Research Center of Shenzhen University, said, "In the past, we competed for costs, but now we compete for technology, delivery, and ecology. The government uses real money to guide enterprises to upgrade to knowledge-intensive fields such as cloud computing, AI, and industrial software, which is seizing the window period of global digital transformation."
Diverse entities collaborate to build global delivery capabilities
In the Shenzhen ITO ecosystem, different types of enterprises show their strengths and form a synergistic effect. It not only has global technology giants such as Huawei and Tencent, but also gathered a group of professional ITO service companies, forming a complete pattern of "head empowerment + professional deep cultivation".
Platform technology companies rely on their own technology base to export digital infrastructure capabilities. For example, Huawei Cloud has set up multiple delivery centers around the world to provide localized ITO services to customers in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and other places; Tencent relies on Tencent Cloud and the Qidian platform to build the technical support system for overseas games into an ITO benchmark. "This is no longer a simple code outsourcing, but the output of global digital infrastructure capabilities." An industry analyst commented.
In addition, there are more than 50 leading IT service providers that are listed or in specific fields, including Kingdee International, ChinaSoft International, iSoftStone, and Farben Information, as well as more than 3,000 specialized small and medium-sized enterprises. They have won recognition in the international market with their agile delivery and deep development in vertical fields. For example, Kingdee International has built a three-in-one overseas delivery resource pool to provide localized services to Chinese companies going overseas. Up to now, Kingdee's customer business has spread to 172 countries and regions around the world, and has served a total of 1,000+ overseas benchmark companies, becoming the preferred partner for overseas companies.
The talent structure continues to be optimized to support high-quality development of the industry
Talent is the core driving force for the growth of the ITO industry.
Data shows that as of 2025, the number of registered employees in Shenzhen has exceeded 12.71 million, of which nearly 700,000 are engaged in information transmission, software and IT services, making it one of the cities with the highest concentration of IT talents in the country. In cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing, Shenzhen’s concentration of high-end talents ranks among the top in the country; in the field of service outsourcing, Shenzhen’s talents with multi-lingual and international project experience account for about 24%, which is significantly higher than the 12% average level of the national service outsourcing industry.
Through the three-in-one training mechanism of school-enterprise cooperation, government training, and international introduction, universities such as Shenzhen University and Southern University of Science and Technology have established service outsourcing colleges and jointly built industrial bases with Huawei and Tencent, producing tens of thousands of ICT and information technology-related graduates on average every year.
"Currently, Shenzhen is accelerating from the past model of relying on large-scale supply of human resources to a new stage of value creation driven by high-end talents." The head of Liepin South China said that Shenzhen's engineering team is becoming the core competitiveness of service outsourcing "going abroad".
Focus on cutting-edge areas and contribute to service outsourcing upgrade Shenzhen solutions
Currently, Shenzhen's ITO industry is accelerating its climb to the top of the value chain. In 2024, 11 service trade digitalization cases in Shenzhen were selected as the construction results of the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Trade Digital Pilot Zone", covering cutting-edge areas such as AI-driven test automation and low-code platform outsourcing.
Experts generally believe that Shenzhen's ITO industry has initially formed a virtuous cycle of "technology-driven-policy guidance-enterprise implementation". In the future, with the deepening of digital trade rules under the RCEP framework, the advancement of cross-border data flow pilots in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the continued enhancement of corporate international operation capabilities, Shenzhen is expected to occupy a more strategic position in the global ITO value chain.
"Shenzhen ITO's model with technological innovation as the engine, global delivery as the stage, and high value-added services as the core has not only contributed to the Shenzhen plan for upgrading China's service outsourcing, but also set a new benchmark in the reconstruction of the global digital service value chain." Li Ming said.
Zhou Yumeng, Shenzhen Special Zone Daily
As China's pioneering reform hub and the core engine of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), Shenzhen is leveraging digital service outsourcing to propel its information technology outsourcing (ITO) sector toward high-value, technology-intensive offerings.
Data from the Shenzhen Municipal Commerce Bureau revealed that as of December 2024, the city's offshore service outsourcing had reached 82 countries and regions. Digital trade import-export volume hit US$60.16 billion in 2024, up 11.3% year on year, with exports growing 6.4% to US$29.21 billion. As a national service outsourcing model city, Shenzhen saw executed contract value rise 17.4% in In 2024, with ITO, BPO (business process outsourcing), and KPO (knowledge process outsourcing) growing 6.47%, 10.95%, and 11.69%, respectively, cementing its role as a key national growth pole for ITO exports.
Shenzhen has refined policy support to consolidate its advantages in high-value segments like ITO and KPO. In 2023 the city introduced a series of measures to promote high-quality digital trade. Among them was a 15% reward-based on executed contract value-for outsourcing projects in cloud computing and AI, steering firms toward premium sectors like industrial software. Additional incentives included the “Shen i Qi” platform's 80% subsidy for international certifications and Qianhai's pilot program recognizing overseas vocational qualifications.
"Shenzhen's policy has entered a stage of quality and efficiency enhancement," noted Li Ming, director of the Service Trade Research Center at Shenzhen University. "Competition is now centered on technology, delivery, and ecosystem - not just cost."
Shenzhen's ITO ecosystem thrives on the complementary strengths of diverse players. Alongside global giants like Huawei and Tencent, the city hosts a cluster of agile service providers.
Platform-based enterprises are exporting digital infrastructure capabilities globally. Huawei Cloud has established worldwide delivery centers while Tencent leverages its cloud and Qidian Platform to transform technical support for game exports into an ITO benchmark. “This represents the export of global digital infrastructure capability, far beyond simple coding,” an industry analyst observed.
Over 50 leading IT firms, including Kingdee International, Chinasoft International, iSoftStone, and Faben Information, alongside thousands of specialized SMEs, are winning international business through agile delivery and deep vertical expertise. Kingdee, for example, serves clients in 172 countries, supporting over 1,000 overseas flagship enterprises.
A robust talent pool underpins the industry's ascent. Shenzhen's employed population had exceeded 12.71 million by 2025, with nearly 700,000 in IT services. making it one of China's most talent-dense IT cities. The city leads in concentrations of high-end talent in AI and cloud computing. Notably, about 24% of its service outsourcing workforce possesses multilingual and international project experience-double the national average.
Local universities, including Shenzhen University and the Southern University of Science and Technology, partner with industry leaders like Huawei and Tencent, producing tens of thousands of ICT graduates annually.
Shenzhen's ITO sector is now accelerating toward the top of the global value chain. In 2024, 11 of its digital trade cases were featured in the achievements of the GBA Trade Digitalization Pilot Zone, spanning AI-driven test automation and low-code platform outsourcing.
Experts expect Shenzhen to take on a more strategic global role as digital trade rules deepen under RCEP, cross-border data flow pilots advance in the GBA, and local firms enhance international operations.
"Shenzhen's ITO model-powered by innovation, staged for global delivery, and centered on high-value services-offers a blueprint for China's service outsourcing upgrade and sets a new benchmark in the restructuring of the global digital value chain," Li said.

Policy highlights
Policy Spotlight
Shenzhen’s “real money” promotes high-quality development of service trade
In May 2025, the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Commerce issued the "Ten Key Points of Policies to Support the Development of Shenzhen's Service Trade in 2025", offering "real money" to encourage companies to explore international markets and fully promote the high-quality development of service trade.
The policy proposes to encourage the undertaking of high value-added outsourcing business. Support service outsourcing enterprises to undertake high value-added service outsourcing businesses such as information technology outsourcing (ITO) and knowledge process outsourcing (KPO), and cultivate a number of industrial clusters and leading enterprises with complete functions and outstanding innovation around the high-end field of service outsourcing. Qualifying enterprises will be awarded up to 1 million yuan each.
At the same time, in December 2025, the Ministry of Commerce, the Central Cyberspace Administration of China, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, and the General Administration of Customs jointly issued the "Action Plan to Promote the High-Quality Development of Service Outsourcing." It is proposed to support the high-quality development of service outsourcing demonstration cities such as Shenzhen by focusing on the implementation of platform carrier improvement actions and innovation-led actions.
Shenzhen invests heavily in service trade
In May 2025, the Shenzhen Municipal Commerce Bureau rolled out 10 new measures to bolster service trade development, providing strong financial incentives for enterprises to expand globally and upgrade the sector's growth quality.
The policy encourages firms to take on high value-added outsourcing-including ITO and KPO-and aims to foster innovative, functionally advanced industrial clusters and market leaders. Eligible companies may receive rewards of up to 1 million yuan each.
In December of the same year, national authorities issued an action plan to promote the high-quality development of service outsourcing. The plan outlines initiatives such as enhancing platform infrastructure and spurring innovation, and supports high-quality development in demonstration cities including Shenzhen.
On July 10, the Jiangxi Provincial Education Examination Authority issued an announcement for early batch recruitment, and the Immigration Management major of the Chinese People’s Police University was impressively listed! It hurts to see! Such a good major was actually recruited! Immigration management police, as the front-line staff facing the international community, are vividly called "guardians of the country." Immigration management is in charge of people, while customs management is in charge of things. But they all stand guard at the country's gate. In this sense, the immigration management major and the customs management major of Shanghai Customs College are actually similar. And from the current and long-term perspective, immigration management has more development prospects.
1. The Immigration Management major was launched under the background of the establishment of the National Immigration Administration!
Let’s take a look at our country’s management institutions and policy systems for managing foreigners before 2018, and you will understand the significance of the establishment of the National Immigration Administration!
According to statistics, in 2019, 97.675 million foreigners entered and exited the country. For such a large volume, it will definitely not work for multiple management agencies to manage it in a decentralized manner. The establishment of the National Immigration Administration is to strengthen the overall coordination of immigration and entry-exit management, better form a synergy for immigration management, integrate the entry-exit management and border inspection responsibilities of the Ministry of Public Security, and establish and improve the visa management coordination mechanism.
Therefore, the official establishment of the National Immigration Administration in April 2018 is of great significance for us to introduce outstanding talents from around the world and recruit global talents for our own use. The Immigration Management major was established to cultivate senior professionals in immigration management who are in demand. So, think about it, is this major very promising?
2. Immigration management major is a public security major. It is very possible to participate in the national police recruitment examination in the future.
Special note: This is my personal speculation.
Why do I say that majoring in immigration management will be eligible to take the National Police Recruitment Examination in the future? There are two main reasons:
First, this major was newly added in 2018, and the enrollment is approved in advance. It is subject to political review and physical examination, which is no different from the enrollment of other public security majors!
In 2019, based on the needs of national strategic development and the modernization of immigration governance, the People's Police University of China took the lead in offering an undergraduate major in immigration management in China with the approval of the Ministry of Education. The establishment of the immigration management major is a new expansion of the public security talent training system. It is an inevitable requirement for the reform of the national border defense and entry-exit management system, the increasing diversification and complexity of immigration management affairs, and the modernization of immigration governance.
Second, the reason why it is not stated in the document that this major is very likely to participate in the joint police recruitment examination is that there are currently no graduates in this major.
According to the provisions of the two documents "Opinions on Strengthening the Recruitment of People's Police in Public Security Organs" and "Opinions on the Reform of the Recruitment and Training System for Public Security Professionals in Public Security Colleges", there are currently 18 undergraduate majors that can participate in the National Joint Examination for Public Security Recruitment:
Public security science, investigation science, domestic security and protection, criminal science and technology, public security audio-visual technology, economic crime investigation, police dog technology, public security management, foreign-related policing, security prevention engineering, traffic management engineering, police command and tactics, anti-narcotics science, criminology, public security information science, network security and law enforcement, fire command, and fire protection engineering.
Please note that this document was issued in 2015. After 2016, five majors were added to the public security major: Technical Investigation (2016), Coast Guard Law Enforcement (2016), Public Security Political Work (2018), Immigration Management (2018), and Entry-Exit Management (2018). It is very likely that in the future, supplementary regulations will be issued to further supplement undergraduate majors in the joint police recruitment examination.
charge. (In the Jiangxi Province enrollment plan, it is clearly stated that it is for police employment in local public security agencies, so there should be no problem in referring to the joint police recruitment examination)
From the perspective of the personnel structure of the National Immigration Administration, the China People’s Police University is in a core supporting position in cultivating immigration management talents. According to media reports, since the establishment of the National Immigration Administration, a special immigration management police training institution has been initially formed with the People's Police University of China and the Party School of the National Immigration Administration as the core, the First Corps and the Second Corps of the Standing Forces as the foundation, the police academies of various provinces (municipalities) as the basis, and the rotation training brigades of each border inspection general station as supplements (32 in total).
On the one hand, the immigration management profession emerges in response to the times; on the other hand, the development of immigration management talents is in the window period, and the future development prospects are promising. If you apply for the Immigration Management major of the People's Police University of China, the first in the country, do you think your future will not be good?
The standardized performance of responsibilities such as foreigners' residence and permanent residence management, refugee management, nationality management, "three non-natives" foreigners' governance, international cooperation in the field of immigration, and public service needs in areas such as international students' education, foreign employment, immigration agency services, immigrant cultural integration, etc., all require a large number of high-level immigration management professionals. If they devote themselves to this profession, will the future development be bad?
3. Why is there a call for such a good major?
My personal guess is as follows:
When many people choose to approve their major in advance, they will choose the major and not obey the adjustment!
The reason is very simple. On the one hand, students who were approved in advance will not be admitted, and withdrawal will not affect the admission of the first batch. Therefore, when many candidates choose to be approved in advance, they will make a setting: the choice of major will not be subject to adjustments. If the major they like cannot be approved in advance, they will not go.
As shown above, the People's Police University of China enrolls students in many majors in Jiangxi Province, but is the immigration management major a bit strange? After all, I’m not very familiar with this major! This may be why this major was recruited.
If you compare the admission scores of Shanghai Customs College and the People's Police University of China in Jiangxi, you will find that the admission scores are really very different.
But given time, for a period of 10 years, imagine that when China's immigration management is as hot as the beautiful country, you choose the first national immigration management major of the People's Police University of China. Compared with the customs management major, which major will have better development?
