Dota 2-Keys are like the steam version of herpes atm they're everywhere and you can and probably will get them from everyone... D:

A lot of people are just making alt accounts and buying the bundle for the items. It's a good deal if you like awful-looking cosmetics.

some of the bundles just dont seem worth it as all you save is 3.69 for the orcs must die pack

if it costed 3.69 and you saved 7 somethin id think it worth it..

Considering that both games are great quality and fun to play, I don't see how offering it at a huge discount is ever 'not worth it'. You save more money than if you buy everything individually and this is on top of an already drastically lowered price.

Logic would say that it's worth it from a purely finanical standpoint. If you don't like the game, it's not going to be worth it no matter how much it is.

cheap items, or just stupid.

**Offshoreguy** · 2012-12-31, 04:02 PM

I have no idea why DOTA2 won, I don't even have a key, but there is no way in hell I am buying access to a soon to be free game. That is just stupid. Oh well, thanks for 12 hours of nothing community!

**Soulus** · 2012-12-31, 04:04 PM

Will trade Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut for something. Send your offers via PM.

There are 10,000 keys available right now here http://computergames.ro/giveaway/dota-2/ it's not in English but just click the green button and fill in your details (or use google translate).

DotA 2 won because the cosmetic items that go along with the pack cost about 30 dollars in the in-game store. (I mean all of them look like shit but hey, apparently people legit like the Snowdrop set for whatever reason)

Considering the amount of people I see running around with Snowdrop lately, a lot.

Alot of people, otherwise ftp games wouldn't work.

**Soulus** · 2012-12-31, 04:12 PM

Well to be fair... look at league of legends and the money they make off skins (including money from me... :P) and the answer is "a LOT of people."

You spent your overflow time on making a custom avatar for functionally meaningless visual representation.

Time = money etc.

There are like 8 skins max in the entire game worth paying any amount of money for.

Unless google reverse search isn't omnipotent(Which it has to be, it's google), you still spent time cropping, bordering and adding text.

Also is this the part where I argue that wasting overflow time is on the same level of sad as wasting overflow money.

People playing great games that provide stellar service without asking them to pay anything. That's like asking why people buy make up or hair products. We have faces and hair for free, why would we ever be so stupid to buy cosmetic items.

Subjective is as subjective does. Plenty of people disagree with you.

Thanks for the link, now I have the game, doubt I will ever play it as I all I hear are people yell at new people all the time. Part of why I don't care for PVP or competitive games.
