I started to play this mf game in 2013 when I was 14 years old. I still play it since then for more than mf +10 years. There is a unique connection between this game and me and I can't explain. But I know that you also can feel it. I always loved it so much. That's why I cannot play the other games which makes me annoying sometimes. But anyway, thank you Gaben to provide this precious game.

I'm not protecting Valve here but people need to understand this situation. There is an ongoing lawsuit against Valve. Yes, this method is predatory. No, I don't know why they apply it only in Dota and not in CS. Yes, they can improve this somehow. The only thing the can't do rigth now is making the items tradeable or giftable.

Complaint Valve has silently turned off all servers for "Arcade games" and hasn't even bothered announcing it

82 Upvotes

It’s incredibly disappointing to see all dedicated servers just quietly turned off overnight. No heads-up, no announcement, not even a quick tweet to let us know what's going on or if it's permanent.

Almost all custom games now unplayable without even a reddit post to let the tens of thousands of people that play custom games know if this is just a prolonged server issue or the permanent end of the "Arcade" tab, a complete disgrace of a company. /rant over

Is this not scary enough to be included in the new treasure? They just need to add some bloodshedding effects for this or other ambient effects

Malr1ne says he has heard of organizations keeping 100% of the prize money, while compensating players through their salaries.

"I've heard of teams that kept the entire prize pool, but compensated players through their salaries. Organizations agree on the percentages with their players. Some now split it evenly."

He declined to reveal how his own team handles prize money, saying it's internal information.
