The TF2 f2p re-release was just one huge beta test for a business idea. Dota 2 is nothing but extending the business model that was tested with TF2 into a fresh game, again with adding some things to see how they work (Internationals or Events come to mind). That's kinda how Valve operates, shouldn't be news to anyone. | ||

But yes, it wouldn't be flat out wrong to say that TF2 laid all the groundwork for the current model used in Dota. | ||

That's kinda how Valve operates, shouldn't be news to anyone. It's win/win for everyone. We get a great game, they get us all to install steam and the chance to buy other games. Valve gets to focus on a game they love. I like how they do things, but it is far from the standard buisness model. Valve just finds something they love and then says "how can we make this a game that we can put on steam and support." | ||

Speaking of which: GLADOS UPDATE NOT COMING FAST ENOUGH T____T | ||

Valve said they're working on something though without necessarily resorting themselves towards revealing MMR. I mean that sort of behavior sort of exists to a small extent anyway though because of players in the very high bracket boasting themselves over players that aren't I guess.. | ||
