Can’t remember a single Valve game that is $60 (today $80?) that has a Battle Pass, built in micro transactions that are pay-to-win, half-assed DLCs that should’ve been in base game, or a game being unfinished mess on release.

Valve is not a saint. But even with lootboxes they bring way more good to gaming industry in comparison to literally any other gaming company.

Bonus round!

Can you guess a game that has all these 4 points?

But the money from that goes to professional players that participate in the tournament and to organizers who organize the event.

How much money from battle pass goes to Fortnite/Battlefield/COD pro players?

Can you guess a game that has all these 4 points?

$50 says it’s an EA game
