Despite being successful in other games, Valve has struggled to get players to buy a Dota 2 battle pass. So, they're going away.

Weapon skins is nothing. There are games putting overpowered characters and weapons in the loot boxes/battlepasses. Some of them then allow you to trade them for real money on an auction house. Anything skins is harmless at this point.

And in those boxes I sometimes see < 1% chances on the main item to drop and close to 50% for useless junk…

All games have their methods to leach cash out of players, but some methods are just despicable. Galaxy of FIre: Alliances was a positive exception. Buy a point doubler for $1.99 that’s permanent… Those amounts are within the expendable income part for almost all players. (not > 100 for 1 item or thousand for gambling)

  • 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
