Gabe Newell says Dota 2 will be Free-to-play, Sort Of
I’m going to start by saying it was pretty obvious that Dota 2 was going to be free-to-play in some form. I even wrote a piece a month ago that outlined why it would be silly for them not to.

Even though the first season was well done, it’s good to see them attempt to expand on the series for season 2. With the popularity of gaming projects within Kickstarter growing, maybe this is the perfect time for a fan-made spin-off series.
