Video game studio Valve is facing a $3 million lawsuit after a former employee alleged they were discriminated against for being transgender.

The studio is known for producing hit games including Half-Life, Counter Strike and Portal.

A former translator – who cannot be named for legal reasons – filed the lawsuit with the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles in April.
