Can’t help but feel like we were being bribed…

You guys remember this bribe scene from The Other guys?

It's the start of the battlepass. Valve is literally sitting there watching the cash flow in.

We notice, dotaplus not getting updates, Battlepass split in two parts,

(Initial High of Buying the BattlePass) God this water is good, have you tried the water?

but still Valve pocketing the 25% of part 2, too few levels earned in the first weeks of battle pass…

So Valve comes out with the swag bag. (We get to watch the knicks game, and we realize we are being bribed)

Still somewhat disappointed though.

Then Battle level Bundle & Candyshop (we again realize we are being bribed!)

Valve: so how great is the candyshop?
Community: It's wasn't great! It was fucking fantastic, I got like 3 arcanas total!
