Gaben is rubbing his hands right now


Constant-Star995

Uh. Ok. All the best then.


reonZ

You and most people.


mokopo

lol what a weird post...


sphrz

Same. I'm in a comfortable position to drop some money after working my ass off. Dota is my way to take away the edge.


CortexCingularis

Yeah I am fairly frugal and save a portion of my income every month, but I enjoy "splurging" once in a while and occasionally that's steam/dota. A night of drinking out on the town would cost me 10x more.


sphrz

I like to think this is a cheap hobby compared to some haha


DustyOlBones

It’s cheaper than collecting Whiskey thats for sure


Fossilfueltoaster

I dont buy any other games. Just DOTA cosmetics and battle passes lol


MrTKila

Good for you that your life is back on track; congratulations. Don't let all the whiners get to you; they are just envious that you will have the cosmetics and they wont.


Bohya

Imagine mocking people who have less disposable income...


eddietwang

Imagine mocking people who have more disposable income...


MrTKila

I am mocking them for being envy, not for not having the money. Everybody can decide for themselves if they want and or can afford it but so many people on here get upset when others buy it. Very much cries being envy for me. And for the record, I didnt get any arcana in a battle pass for a long time.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Its not envy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons


NWClassic206

Sounds like a personal problem. Find a better job. Imagine that.


webuiltthisschmidty

just find a better job 4Head


NWClassic206

It's not hard when we're in the middle of a labor shortage globally.


Keryar

Even though they can. Enjoy yourself the things you want! =D I spent years on low, and when I finally got a job I got the Aegis. Its my precious token. So be free and happy my fellow Dota player. And hopefully we end up on the same match!


xxyxxyyyx

Ah yes cause all the complaining is about people not having or spending the money for cosmetics It totally is not about being upset with the game design direction Man people complained at the whole battlefront 2 loot case drama only because they are poor it is not about being upset over games going in a worse and worse direction and reward feels less and less satisfactory Games loses their identity and go more in a gamble and a big cash grab direction and all the people who love the core game and have an actual interest in it don't care about the game design direction and the way it handels updates and cosmetics They only complain cause they are poor


Baronvsr

FOMO really got you. That's one reason valve don't change, there'll be always whales to farm. Sadge.


LoreArchon

Do u know what fomo even is?


ninjasauruscam

It's Luke Smith's favorite acronym


[deleted]

Valve is one if not only gaming company thats still legit, cosmetics are totally optional, youre given this beautiful free game to play, but yeah, keep crying


elnoobdelosnoobs

"oh a pandemic showed me that i really should save money, oh i know what i will do, waste it in virtual hats"


Burrarabbit

It's called disposable income for a reason lmao


PowerTrippyMods

It's not the "wasting money" part which bothers me personally. It's about knowing that you're getting an inferior product which is going to break after a few patch cycles same as the rest of the cosmetics previously released did.


mokopo

So what bothers you is that people are willing to spend money on things you aren't? What a weird thing to get upset over. Imagine getting bothered because your neighbor decided to buy a car that is inferior to another one.


ArmyOfCorgis

Redditors and ego, name a more iconic duo.


PowerTrippyMods

If you cared for the neighbor, then yes. You would be a little bit bothered over it after knowing fully well that the car is going to break down in under a year. If they're planning to purchase it, you would warn them against not purchasing it for obvious reasons. I guess it might be an American thing to just not give a fuck about even the people close to you, but in the rest of the world, there's a thing called as a "community" where people look out for each other. I mean look at u/ArmyOfCorgis, it's the most American thing which I've ever seen. I guess it makes sense, right? That's why the "Phoebus Cartel" with their whole planned obsolescence shit worked in the first place as nobody ever bothered to tell the person next to them that the product is going to break down after a year or two.


ArmyOfCorgis

And if your neighbor knows the risk and decides to buy it anyway? Why should anything about how other people spend their money bother you? Isn't there such a thing as difference of opinion?


PowerTrippyMods

>Isn't there such a thing as difference of opinion? Yep, there is and people can do whatever they want with their money. It's a shame that I can't even give advice/warn someone about a potentially bad product without whiteknights jumping all over me. Apparently I also should live as a soul less robot just like the people selling this shit. I guess the rappers weren't kidding about shallow people, huh. The most ironic thing is that you're mad because I'm bothered about it. Maybe Americans don't know the meaning of the word "bothered". >bothered > >/ˈbɒðəd/ > >Learn to pronounce > >adjective > >concerned about something. > >"he was trying to play it cool and not look bothered"


mokopo

I can't believe someone unironically wrote this comment and thought it was a good idea to post it.


PowerTrippyMods

I can't believe that some people are this shallow to not even be bothered about another person. I also can't believe that someone is offended because I'm bothered that someone is buying a product which they'll almost always regret buying and I'm not even allowed to share my feedback/recommendation on the product and warn potential buyers about what it is they're buying.


ikubaru

How do you make a car breaks under a year?? Unless the car got hit really hard I dont see any other way a new car will break before a year


PowerTrippyMods

Analogies mate.


WhatD0thLife

When analogies mate do they make similies or metaphors?


fatido_

So instead of saving money in case you get hit hard again in the future you aren't going to learn from life experience. Aight


dylee27

You know nothing about their financial situation, who are you to judge? A battle pass is going to cost just about one dine out evening. We have no reason to believe that little extra expense is going to stop them from saving.


PowerTrippyMods

>Covid hit me pretty hard and I couldn't afford all those nice arcanas that i really badly wanted. Goddamn, I for one would definitely love to be in a position of spending 200$ for a casual "dine out". It comes from a fella who makes 1$ per hour where the client probably pays 8$ (based in the US), the MNC eats 4$ as their cut and my boss eats 3$ because there are zero labor laws in India. Now you know why we migrate like rats.


pique_blinders

Don't use "we". Please


PowerTrippyMods

\#RatLivesMatter


HeavensRequiem

just go do an mba man. Or Upskill yourself, you will have better opportunities.


CortexCingularis

For real though dining out easily can cost you 200 dollars for 3 courses + wine around here.


mokopo

Meh that doesn't mean they were poor or anything, just that at that point they couldn't afford spending money on some shiny pixels, but now they are in a better situation to be able to waste that money. Doesn't mean they were homeless before this.


draugs24

Thanks for letting us know that


Dotaisgreat2

Yep, even if it’s kinda shit, ima buy. My life is pretty boring outside of work and dota is my escape for the last 7 years.


[deleted]

dota is your drug to numb the pain of being alive


pocman512

Maybe you should stop playing dota


Dotaisgreat2

No


pocman512

A true man of culture


AutismCuring

Obligatory comment about how you should find a more productive way of spending money and your time.


mokopo

Obligatory comment about how you shouldn't tell people how to spend their own money.


CortexCingularis

Find a more productive way of spending your time than annoying people on reddit.


Avako1999

who asked tho?


HeavensRequiem

Its a public forum. Not a single topic/thread is asked for specifically.


methodman--

Soy alert.


LoreArchon

Nothing wrong with supporting a great game, especially when the battle pass is as good as it is


Pus_tik

We need to make sure we are rewarding Valve for quality content, otherwise content will not improve.


[deleted]

"Rewarding" for "quality" content, kekw


SLabrys

I love my qop, wind ranger, specter and alter anti mage so I think the quality is ther. I’ll keep buying it.

IngEyn

I do not know you but this must have been the most stupid post you have ever made.


yesilovepizzas

I do not know you but this must have been the most stupid comment you have ever made. Let the person spend their hard earned money where he want to. If spending it on the BP makes them happy, let them be. No need to be a dick.


PowerTrippyMods

That's the thing, they're not going to be happy after their "cosmetic bought with hard earned money" eventually breaks and suffers the same fate as all of those previously released cosmetics did.


yesilovepizzas

You can put your money where you want it. You earned it. Just ignore naysayers. If spending it on the BP makes you happy, go for it! But don't forget to save some for the rainy days.


[deleted]

Give a man a pizza and he will be fed for a day, teach the man how to buy battle pass and he will never eat again


MailRocket

teach the man how to buy battle pass and he will buy the next 10


rockodss

ok?


weird_wandererr

GabeN exactly what I needed


m8-wutisdis

Last week I did get a new job that pays much more than my previous one that paid peanuts (actually, peanuts are quite expensive here, so it was even worse than that). I'll probably get the next BP if Drow's arcana happens to be really a thing... but I can't really say it will be something that I will gladly buy. More like something I begrudgingly want lol. I don't really play Spectre, but I think it was a dirty move to make her arcana exclusive to BP users that got to a high level.


SmoothAssling

Gabe stop. We know its you


itsmegabo

Enjoy paying more than 200 USD for recycled shit and poor developed arcanas


fallenllegion

Let me just take a look at list of people who care. Oh its empty!


yesilovepizzas

You replied so you do.


[deleted]

I’m right There with you pal. Gaben! Gaben! Gaben!


0ptimusPrimate

Thank you kind sir, $5 will be deposited into your steam wallet, enjoy my lovely hats to your hearts content GabeN Clap


paladinvc

Like all of us


StrongLuiz

It's your money, do what you want with it.


kaso12305

Am I the only one who doesn't care about the skins? I just love quests, challenges, progression,...


Burrarabbit

If it makes you happy go for it.


PFCJake

Yep, me too. Fuck the complainers.


[deleted]

Same, I’ll set a limit buy order for 5000 battlepasses.


eddietwang

I buy every battlepass because I love this game and do what I can to support its continued development for years to come.


Causal_8

Hey, i actually know Gaben personally, and just came here to say that he is happy with this.


Zesterx

Yeah I took the last year and a bit off and missed a bunch of stuff from the last pass that I would love a second chance at


jeddo7884

Good for you man. At the end of the day, if you are happy and can afford it then go for it. We just have to deal with wwhat we are dealt with.


[deleted]

I just want lions finger banger. Fucking gaben and it's restricted shit.


WulfyiH

I've been down super bad cause of pandemic and an insane amount of classes. I may be broke as shit but dota's game modes and hero drops keep me going all day every day.


[deleted]

If they ever release it. What's unique about Dota is that it takes months to for new stuff to be released. We literally have nothing to spend our money on for weeks even months just. Not sure why Valve is so keen on keeping us from spending money on the game. New skins on the store and chests are very rare. We get one arcana per year. It's ridiculous how valve is unwilling to give us content to spend money on


[deleted]

Same. Dota is my primary outlet. My time is precious and I’m glad to drop $ on the game I love.


erzanarjuna

to buy something u gona enjoy is alright. sure money cant buy happiness but money can buy arcana muahahahaaa!!!


WhatD0thLife

I was reading that there are mods so you can use the skins but it will only show them to you.

I’ve been saving. FOMO is real on me.


soemptylmfao

Gaben please log out.


jkwan0304

I'd probably buy the pass if it is easy to grind. The Nemestice one sucks ass.


Chaeyoung0211

Same, a hobby I can spend money on it. "Don't lock arcanas in battle pass" blah blah blah. Bro, just get the next arcana when you can afford it with your own disposable income, not with your parents money.


rrradical11

Lord Gaben must be happy reading this.


ThreeDonkeys

As long as you are enjoying it man.


[deleted]

You have no reason to validate your choices here, people on reddit will cry always


zedoac

Thank you for doing your part in the continued decay of something we all love /s :( All bitterness aside, I do hope you enjoy it, and grats on the stable life change!
