Free-to-play games do very well for those that strike it lucky and fail spectacularly for those that don’t. If any company has better-than-even odds of succeeding, it’d be Valve. Not that we’d ever expect the studio to try and … oh wait, what? They are?
That’s what Doug Lombardi apparently told Barre de Vie, anyway. He was asked if the studio was making a free-to-play title and he simply said, “Yes.”
Although this could be a new title, it might also be the model Valve is adopting for the Defense of the Ancients 2. In any case, I’m always hesitant when it comes to things confirmed in foreign sites — not because I’m racist (I kinda liked one Seal song that I heard, so how could I be!?) but because mistranslations can happen.
I’ve fired off a quick email to Valve to get turbo-confirmation.
