THE BIG PICTURE Game publishing platforms are immune from liability for in-game mechanics such as loot boxes under Section 230 of the CDA, at least for now. SUMMARY In a case we’ve mentioned before (Coffee et al. v. Google, 20-cv-3901 (N.D. Cal.)), Google won a motion to dismiss the putative class action (though without prejudice). As a quick recap, this class action essentially claims that Google is liable for the presence of loot box games in the Google Play Store and that the games constitute illegal gambling under California gambling statutes.
