Pretty sure seasonal events in F2P games usually generate quite a bit of money. Highly doubt that is or was the problem, since there are many ways to work around this anyway.
The Dota 2 team has been slimmed down (ironic usage, not Fox News) for a long while now, and it's showed. I think Half-Life 3 may have more people working on it at this point.

Alternatively you can send death threats and extremely abusive harassment emails to stack on top of this ever growing pile via my contact page (please don't)
lol really?
sorry for being late to the Techies discussion.
I think they will be added to CM (they are on dota 1) and we need to see how they code them into the game.
I recall that they had a tiny model, same as the land mines (not the barrel ones) also the coloring was similar to the terrain, making it very dificult to tell'em apart if you weren't paying attention.
Are they going to disrupt pubs? hard to tell, but I doubt it. Sentry warding around the map is common now, even at pubs. Specially if there are scouting heroes (nyx, bh) and because invis items are popular (smoke, lothars) on most heroes

It won't be a big patch, just some tickets, item sets etc.
its probably just a lonely intern polishing Gabe's knife collection
Y u break my heart
I sure hope you are trolling. The different Dota 2 communities are already doing ridiculous things in response to the lack of Diretide. If Valve puts out the standard cosmetic patch that people always get on them about, things might get crazy.

Wow, that's going to end well. Seems like bad timing for a patch like that, but I guess tickets are sort of time sensitive.

Lol, that sucks. But honestly there's probably nothing less intimidating than a death threat from an online gamer. Nerd rage at its finest.
73 mb of HATS! I TOLD U GUYS.
Ooo there is a patch. But only 73mb

Because it's not the Halloween update we need right now... but the one we deserve.
So we will keep playing with old heroes... because we can take it.

What's so weird is that they had these fleshed out holiday modes in the damn beta that they aren't even rerunning now that its released. Its bizarre
I did not think it could be real. Like if I was Valve I would put out no patch before I put out a patch that will only serve to further infuriate the users of my game.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Holy shit. How tone deaf are Valve?
They could have even just let us play on the halloween map.....that's it. One map change valve.

And I was happy when the beta ended. Boy, was I wrong...
Activity generates revenue. More hype = more interest = more players = more people spending money. The drop in players and the general lack of excitement probably has seen dota store revenue dip. Not to say it isn't still generating truckloads, but probably a little less month by month for the last couple months. Seasonal events are an ez way to grab cash through seasonal cosmetics/features and just reigniting interest in the game.

Another patch, another set in the wrong spot. This time Nyx is the victim

It is pretty strange as Diretide got me playing a bit longer last year.
In all honesty though, I have to believe that this mostly is to do with the structure of Valve---probably a lot of people aren't as excited working on this now that it's somewhat done save for a few heroes.
The fact that they have other sources of revenue probably doesn't help either. They probably make enough money that they don't have to stress about the state of the game and thus little financial motivation to create seasonal events.

You guys are unbelievable.
We've had so many heroes given to us, 6 this whole year.
And some more costumes to win after a match.

Can't wait for Valve to provide this level of support for the OS once it releases.
