you can get weapon skins from opening crates (only $2.50 per crate) and hope to get a skin thats worth hundreds of dollaroonies

I still regret getting into that from CS:GO. I got way too into the betting scene. I still came out ahead by like $150 and blew it on more steam games, but still.

It's kind of funny how people still think Valve will make HL3 at this point. It would totally go against their current business model.

the amount of hackers in the CS:GO professional scene is so horrible too.

getting dumb teenagers to give you a couple bucks a week for doing basically nothing, not a bad business model

Well, Dota's a slightly older demographic.

They have the money to easily just get a small dev team to put out this story-rich lack-luster single player game and call it HL3, but at this point it's so hyped up it'd be a tremendous "faillure" in the gamer's eyes

LoL has the younger demographic compared to Dota

problem is dota's demographic age is skewed by the russian man-children

They've got more of a software-as-a-service thing going on now. Lots of small-scale updates per year and a close eye on community complaints... At least for Dota, anyway.

NA LoL has an absolutely horrible problem with Brazilians. They even have their own server but nothing stops them from joining the NA servers

Haha, yeah that's how US East is with Peruvians. Most of them can't speak English beyond "JAJAJA FUCK NOOB REPORT MID NEVER GANK" yet still queue on the server and play here.

I truly envy the Korean server. You actually have to have a Korean social security number in order to register and play on those servers.

Apparently the worst Dota server of all is Southeast Asia, though.

I would love it.

Hell, keep a general NA server, but then include a "Certified NA Server" for people who are sick of being spammed with "HUEHUE NO ES LOS JUNGLA HUEHUEHUE TROLL U AMERICANSSSSSS"
