Hard truth, this game ain’t topping the charts and overtaking games like CSGO if it weren’t for the money of the players, have you seen LoL Worlds? That’s what happens when the game gets little funding (compared to what dota actually gets). Actually besides from games, TI 2023 is on par with this year’s Worlds because the celebration of dota 2 fans that is supposed to be The International is lackluster. If you truly don’t care about hats or anything then why aren’t you back on the frozen throne map mod that made dota today? Do you think people will still pay for TI if they made them sit on the floor and watch lan party-esque setup games? No, you don’t understand because you’re a freeloader and we don’t complain about your existence at all. People have jobs and families and want to enjoy TI without grinding the hats, while savoring the best presentation there is.
So quit whining about our whining because we want more, if you enjoy low standards then that’s on you, because for us dota 2 is the child that we want to see on top of every rank and headlines every year.
In all honesty, this game wouldn’t last long like so many “FREE” games without the money of the players, get that in your head.
That’s because it isn’t overtaking CSGO.
Currently, worldwide the top 5 are Steam Deck, Apex Legends, Lethal Company, Counter Strike 2, Red Dead Redemption 2.
Dota 2 is on place 30.
What’s that even supposed to mean? On par in what?
Viewer numbers? I haven’t checked, but I would be highly surprised if Worlds doesn’t have at least double the viewer numbers.
Quality wise? I wouldn’t know, I never watched Worlds and probably never will.
All I know is TI23 was extremely high quality in production value, compared to basically all the previous TIs.
Not sure who said that they don’t care about cosmetics at all. Most of us just care about the game/gameplay more than skins.
And besides, why should I go back to a 20 year old game when I can just play Dota 2, which is getting more gameplay updates than new skins currently, which is exactly what I want? Your argument doesn’t make any sense.
Except you clearly do, as you can see with this post.
I would actually argue, that if I value gameplay above skins, that I enjoy and aim for higher standards than you, but whatever floats your boat I guess.
Obviously, and the game is still free. Every penny you decide to spend on this game is completely optional. If you think the game doesn’t deserve your money any more, then don’t spend it on the game.
Sincerely, a Dota+ subscriber, who bought every battle pass since 2014 and this year, for the first time, even got the Aegis Replica.
The game is free
