News just broke. Dota 2 is definitely going to be f2p.

BUT! The real question is what's Gaben's twist going to be? Well, I had some ideas on that.

What do you guys think this twist might be?

Never-before-seen twist: Skins/hats!

I'm glad it'll be F2P, still trying to get people interested in MOBAs, lol. It'll make LAN parties that much easier, too (when/if they get that implemented).

I have around 500€ saved for this. There better be much stuff!

So basically you'll want to idle on TF2 and then sell TF2 hats for Dota hats.

This is a terrible Idea, I hope they don't do what HoN did and give you X hero's and make you pay/earn other hero's. That's stupid. Flat fee of $15-$20. These guys are too good at what they do not to get paid directly for the game they produce (as I'm sure they do make money off of it, what I mean is DIRECTLY from the production of the game).

Note: To everyone who disapproves... They aren't taking a FREEMIUM approach. They're steering clear of LoL's business model. Whether this is good or bad, I don't know.

Well Gabe said there will be a "twist" once we know what that is, we will know how to go about this.
