The last thing I wanted to see this morning was Valve’s announcement about their “Dota 2” card game. No big reveal about “Half Life 3” or a brand-new IP, instead Valve announced a fucking digital card game.
It seems like Valve has officially jumped aboard the greedy developer train. They don’t come out with anything new in so long and they drop this BS? Sure, the game will generate a shit load of revenue from suckers buying new cards in game but this is stupid as hell for fans who have been aching for years for “Half Life 3” or something that has nothing to do with digital cards.
As to not single out Valve, lets look at other franchises got turned into whack digital card games by their devs:
- Gwent
- Hearthstone
- Elder Scrolls: Legends
- Chronicle: RuneScape Legends
- Keystone
- Mobius Final Fantasy
- SMITE Tactics
Gaming should be better than this. The titles listed above might be a great time but you have to realize they are made to get into your wallets! Lets not fall for it.
So Valve, thanks for the effort but it missed the mark.
Hear the crowd’s reaction to the HUGE reveal:
