would you rather dedicate your time and energy to something that barely sustains you and the vast majority of real life people don't understand and openly mock, or to something that will make you rich and famous?

eating contests are simple competitions for stupid people. dota is one of the most challenging competitions on the planet.

Dota and other Esports could stand to grow more and become more "stable". And by stable, I mean the players and team owners could feel comfortable assuming that their job will be around in 5 years. As someone with a lot of responsibilities, even if I was offered a dream "esports" job tomorrow, I wouldn't take it.

why is everyone up in arms about valve selling mods anyway

bullshit. you want to prove you're one of the very best players in the world, and you want to do it on as big a stage as possible so everybody will know it. money might be irrelevent, but recognition is not.

75% take, saying that content from free mods is fair game, and no good way to determine the mods that are up are actually from their creators are a big problem.

Implementation is poor, also it dropped out of nowhere

This is going to be the next horse armor.

Because modding is that indie type deal where it's supposed to be free and a passion project. Skyrim's mod scene was free for years but Valve suddenly adding a price tag on mods which were free before is a pretty apparent cash grab. Twenty four hours is not enough time to determine if the mod is a broken mess or actually worth paying for. It's funny though because Valve's most popular games are all mods or updates & sequels - Dota 2, CS:GO, Team Fortress 2 - so it's no shock Valve would sell mods.

You sound like an angsty redditor with all this "gotta show every how good i am because recognition is all that matters." Guess what, recognition is rarely what drives athletes. These are people who compete against themselves not against society. Have you even played a sport?
