In terms of the amount of time I've devoted to the game, the amount of money spent doesn't seem disproportionate, but that's not how Dota 2 monetisation works. Wait – where was I going with all of this?Īh yes. Perhaps this points to me making terrible financial decisions from a young age. Hell, in the late nineties my little brother used to charge me 20 pence an hour to play on his N64 and I completed Ocarina of Time twice and collected all the gold skulltulas. I'd definitely pay 14 pence for a game of Dota. When you look at the amount of time I have spent in the game it becomes less of a shocking amount – the money then works out at about 14 pence her hour. It also tells you how much you've spent but only in the period since they introduced card drops.įor me that's just north of £215 and I'm going to try to answer the question "Why?" To find out how much you've spent in Dota 2 just go to the badges section of your profile, look at Dota 2 and then click on "How do I earn card drops?" The card drops in free-to-play games are linked to the money you spend in-game and so Steam will tell you how close you are to earning your next card drop. The figure Valve gives you is related to the badges you earn by collecting sets of trading cards in the game. Second confession: Actually it's a little more than that. Three hundred and fifty seven dollars and thirty eight cents. One day Pip might even tell you the story of how she bumped into Na'Vi's Dendi at a dessert buffet cart.Ĭonfession: I have spent approximately $357.38 on a free videogame. Part of a miscellany of serious thoughts, animal gifs, and anecdotage from the realm of MOBAs/hero brawlers/lane-pushers/ARTS/tactical wizard-em-ups.
