      Hard disagree. Both Dota and CS2 are truly f2p, you get the same experience wether you buy stuff or choose not to. Of course the gambling stuff is predator, but the games themselves are great and actually free. You just want to buy a hat cause it’s fun.

        Two good games as a service doesn’t excuse the huge rotten pile of GAAS scams.

        Two shiny red apples in a pile of compost still makes it a heap of shit.

            But but but…. I don’t care who it is making and selling them, games as a service is toxic to players and anti consumer. TF2 normalized and opened the door to a lot of the shit that turned into loot boxes with its micro transactions for keys to get better weapons and cosmetics.

            GAAS are scams, even if some of them might behave and don’t shit all over the living room floor.

      Gaas is the best model for online competitive games. Best value for developers and players.
