g303 on a meme cutting board

its a fairly misleading point when you consider time and effort. while there isnt that much time and effort needed to be spent on tf2, the return rate is also a fraction of the value as spending it on cs

were reload to be paid hourly rather than on salary, im sure the time spent maintaining tf2 would probably put them at a loss for example.

the influx of cheaters striving for australium rank at scout in Official Matchmaking might drive some of u insane in the near future

6:25 PM - 2c: drop 30 4 times yday
6:26 PM - 2c: crash 800 times in one game and have some moron shooting me in the back

banny and carl and smoene else i dont remember got invited to go to valve office but i thought it was next month

esports

the 60 minute naga games where the guy has 9 slots and refresher his aghs ult to heal his team while split pushing will be amusing

the joke was you described exactly what DLC is which has existed for years

not my issue if you feel entitled to content youve spent 0 dollars on. nothings going to convince retards stuff they dont want to hear so you'll just have to see it for yourself in a year or so how disastrous this decision is

what in gods name

even better: the mods that you deem not worth their value but still 'necessary' (im not sure how this combination exists), you can just go acquire for free. others wont know how to, or will disagree with your opinions on its value and pay up front. this is the exact reason why piracy in music and movie industries benefits the business overall: people that arent going to buy a product can freeload on something they never intended to buy and the capability of doing so generates positive value because popularity attracts others who will pay that otherwise wouldn't found the product in the first place.

good thing theres a rating system so the userbase could ensure the greatest value mods are represented as such

jk everyone voted one star on everything so they removed it

anyways, garrys mod dudes spot on. read first paragraph and already know it coincides with my understanding of these things. aside from that markets take awhile to stabilize. benefits for users come long term

and frankly if someone makes a good enouhg dota mario kart and it costs a dollar ill go sell some crates and manage i think

skyrim players have massive down's

its the exact same thing as paid cosmetics. unimaginitive retards will whine doom and gloom while content creators will make the big bucks now that they finally have a platform to release on

he's not going to post "well look you retard, we gave people the chance to make cartoon hats and now a lot of them make 200k a year so i think this strategy may be more viable than putting a donation button when catering to a market that that still has >50% adblock on despite constant appeals from ~the sites they love~".

it should all be common sense that this is direction steam has headed for the past 3 years or so. you're basically looking at a preview of dota's custom map system

i have no idea how sk sustains itself. i feel like they haven't been relevant in any game for a decade

people can still release free stuff

now people can release paid stuff

theres now incentive to create things for you and the creator gets compensation. you get cool stuff and they have a new platform to make money doing something they enjoyed enough to do for free in the past but may have not had the time to justify bringing out a 'product grade' experience

regular cosmetic creators in valve games make 100k++++ a year. the opportunity is huge and the split is worthwhile because you get access to millions of customers with no advertizing.

ur basically seeing the beginning of source2 modding as an incentive based platform. there will be a lot of free custom games in dota2 for example. but there will likely be mini development teams that will attempt to create a large high quality mod with maintence updates for ~$1 under the expectation that most customers will sell a new crate or a couple blues to meet the cost if it comes down to it

all the cows between norcal and socal are black somethings gone wrong please fix the drought
